German Language Practice vs the official telc mock tests
The official telc mock test is exactly right and there is exactly one of it. That is enough to learn the format and nowhere near enough to build exam stamina. The second and third sittings are where your score actually moves, and that requires fresh papers in the same format.
Sound familiar?
- One Übungstest per exam, and you have already seen the answers.
- The audio for official practice tests is not always easy to locate.
- Additional telc practice material is sold as printed books with per-copy pricing.
- You cannot measure improvement from a single data point.

Frequently asked questions
+Are your papers official telc exams?
No. They are independently written practice exams matching the official telc format and difficulty. We are not affiliated with telc gGmbH.
+Where can I get the free telc Übungstest?
From the telc website, listed per exam under practice materials. Start with that, then add volume.
+Is the telc exam the same as Goethe?
At A1 they are effectively the same exam (Start Deutsch 1). At higher levels the structure differs in detail, which is why we publish separate packs for each.
