More Information on Problem Solving (Dialogues) in the Oral B1 Beruf Exam

The oral part of the B1 Beruf exam includes problem solving through dialogues as a central component. This task requires candidates to handle typical professional situations where a problem is identified, discussed, and a solution is found together. It tests both language skills and communicative competence.

How does the problem solving part work?

Candidates engage in a conversation with the examiner or a partner. The dialogues are designed around realistic work-related situations such as workplace conflicts, technical difficulties, or organizational challenges. Within about 4 to 5 minutes, participants should describe the problem, suggest solutions, respond to arguments, and agree on a resolution.

Typical topics and examples

The topics are practical and often related to everyday work life. Examples include:

  • Incorrect delivery or wrong goods
  • Issues with working hours or shift schedules
  • Misunderstandings within the team or with supervisors
  • Technical malfunctions or equipment failures
  • Planning and organizing meetings or projects

What do examiners look for?

  • Was the problem clearly described?
  • How well were solution proposals formulated and discussed?
  • Is the language appropriate and understandable at the B1 level?
  • Did the candidate actively participate in the dialogue and respond appropriately to the partner?

Experiences of exam candidates

Many report that preparation with realistic dialogues gave them confidence. “Practicing with real-life examples helped me react more spontaneously,” says Julia from Frankfurt. Thomas from Cologne adds, “It’s important not only to speak but also to listen actively and respond to your partner.”

Recommendations for preparation

  • Regular practice of dialogues on various professional topics
  • Use examples from previous exams as guidance
  • Focus on clear expression and understandable communication
  • Train active listening and appropriate responses
  • Role-play with partners to simulate realistic conversation situations

Expert opinion

Language trainer Olena Bazalukova emphasizes: “Problem solving in dialogues is an excellent way to demonstrate practical professional communication skills. With systematic preparation and realistic exercises, candidates find it easier to speak confidently and effectively.”

Overall, problem solving through dialogues is an important test of communicative competence in the B1 Beruf exam. Those who prepare specifically and work with relevant examples can successfully master this part.

Hanna Boltinova: „Thanks to the preparation with Olena, I successfully passed the B1 exam. The online lessons were interesting, I was motivated to do homework, and developed a real interest in the German language ☺️ Thank you, Olena — I recommend you to everyone!“

Elena Spiridonova: „Very practical and clearly structured website interface. All necessary information is available.“

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.“
