The Exam Format

One exam, four parts, one clock

Hören runs into Lesen, Lesen into Schreiben, Schreiben into Sprechen — the same order the Goethe-Institut uses, at roughly the same pace.

Hören

Listening

~20 min

Short announcements and conversations, played once or twice, narrated as they would be in the room.

Lesen

Reading

~25 min

Notices, short texts, and classified-style ads, read for specific information under time pressure.

Schreiben

Writing

~20 min

A registration form, then a short personal letter — checked for accuracy once you connect your own AI key.

Sprechen

Speaking

~15 min

Introducing yourself and responding to picture prompts, as a live spoken exchange.

Why It Feels Different

Most "practice tests" are quizzes wearing an exam's name

Typical online practice

  • Multiple-choice questions with no spoken component
  • No real time pressure — you answer at your own pace
  • Writing and speaking sections are skipped entirely
  • The same single test, reused for every attempt

Advance Deutsch mock exams

  • A spoken voice opens the exam and introduces each part
  • Hören and Lesen run on the same clock as exam day
  • Schreiben and Sprechen get real AI feedback on your answers
  • Four distinct exams, so no two attempts repeat material
