Exam format and grading

The telc B1 exam consists of a written section and an oral section. The written section is 2.5 hours in duration and contains reading, language elements, listening comprehension, and written expression tasks. The oral exam is 15 minutes long (after a preparation phase of 20 minutes) and will take place either on the same day as the written exam or on the following day. You will receive information on the exact scheduling 2 weeks before the exam.

A sample exam offered by telc gives examinees a detailed impression.

When a minimum of 60% of the possible maximum number of points in both the written and oral sections are achieved, the exam is deemed passed.

The exam is corrected by telc within 4–6 weeks. We will inform you as soon as the results are ready to be picked up at our office.
