Goethe
Englisch
The B1-level exam is an internationally recognized certification of basic proficiency in the German language. The Goethe-Zertifikat B1 is intended for learners who want to document their language skills for everyday life, work, or official purposes. This exam is organized by the Goethe-Institut and is offered in over 90 countries worldwide – including Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Canada, Brazil, and many other nations with German-language educational institutions.
Successfully passing this test may be required in various life situations:
The entire exam is standardized and consists of multiple parts, each covering different language skills. The requirements correspond to level B1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
The total exam time is approximately 180 minutes:
The written sections are evaluated centrally. The speaking part is assessed on site by specially trained examiners. The evaluation follows clearly defined criteria, focusing not only on linguistic accuracy but also on structure, clarity, and communicative effectiveness.
To pass, each section of the exam must be completed with at least 60%. Results are typically available within 2 to 4 weeks. The Goethe B1 certificate is valid indefinitely.
Our platform was developed by Olena Bazalukova – an experienced philologist and teacher of German as a foreign language with over 20 years of experience. In close cooperation with examiners and teachers from around the world, she creates exercises, tests, and simulations tailored specifically to the Goethe exam requirements.
Olena emphasizes: "It's not just about grammar practice, but about training for real exam situations. Many underestimate the speaking section – yet it is crucial for passing."
Many users of our platform report feeling significantly more confident in the exam thanks to targeted online preparation. They particularly appreciate:
Our online program is designed for anyone who wants to prepare effectively and practically for the German B1 exam – whether at home or on the go.
Andrii: „A great site where you can prepare for your German exam. I studied online with Olena to pass the exam, and it helped me a lot. Grammar was also explained in the integration courses, but Olena showed me how to actually pass the exam. As a result, I received a B1 certificate. Olena is a very good teacher – I can recommend her to everyone.“
Anna Chin: „Hello, from August to October I prepared for the B1 exam with Olena. As a result, I passed the exam and received my B1 certificate. I would like to say that the training with Olena gave me more knowledge than the courses, because during those months my listening, reading, and writing skills improved noticeably. Speaking, of course, depends on vocabulary, but we practiced dialogues and naturally spoke more together as well.“
andrijana ristic: „As someone who is passionate about teaching German, I can confidently say that this platform has exceeded my expectations in every respect. It is very practical for improving skills in each module, whether learners study independently, in teacher-led classes, or in group courses. What makes “Vorbereitung mit BO” stand out is its dynamic and interactive approach to language acquisition, making it an excellent quality tool for both students and teachers.“
