With the language elements, it is not only your knowledge that counts but also your approach. With a clear strategy you score points that many leave lying out of haste. Here we show you how to proceed systematically.
How to proceed strategically with the language elements
How ready are you really?
Your Ready-Score shows you in a mock exam where you stand today. Free, no risk.
- Read the whole sentence, not just the gap. Often the context provides the solution.
- Watch for signal words. Certain words require a fixed case, a preposition or a connector.
- Distinguish grammar and vocabulary. Sometimes an ending is missing, sometimes the right word.
- Use the process of elimination when you are unsure.
- Leave nothing blank. A reasoned guess is better than no answer.
What this part is about is shown in telc B2 language elements, and where it sits in the procedure, the page on the exam sections.
Which topics you should master
Especially common are fixed connectors, prepositions with accusative and dative and verbs with fixed prepositions. Once you know these confidently, many gaps come easily.
The bottom line
With a clear strategy and the most important grammar topics, you solve the language elements calmly and confidently. Read, recognise signal words, leave nothing blank, that reliably gets you through.
