Exam format
How telc exams are structured
telc exams combine a written part and an oral part. At B1 and B2 the written part covers:
Lesen — Reading Skills & Exam Practice
Global, detailed and selective reading tasks on everyday and work texts.
Sprachbausteine — Language Elements
Grammar and vocabulary gap-fills — a part unique to telc and often underestimated.
Hören — Listening Skills & Exam Practice
Announcements, conversations and radio-style texts.
Schreiben — Writing Practice & Feedback
Letters or emails responding to a situation, scored on content, structure and accuracy.
Oral exam: usually taken in pairs — getting to know each other, discussing a topic and planning something together. We rehearse each part in the real format.
Formats vary by level and are updated by telc. Check current model papers at telc.net.
