The Goethe A1 writing exam is a key component of the language certificate “Start Deutsch 1”. It is aimed at people who need to prove their basic German skills – for example, for family reunification, integration courses, or initial residence permits in Germany.
This part of the exam tests whether you are able to write simple and correct messages in everyday situations – such as letters, emails, or notes. Your writing should be both grammatically correct and content-complete.
With this exam, you show that you can apply basic forms of written communication in German. This is especially important if you plan to live in a German-speaking country: Whether it's an email to a school, a note to your neighbors, or a short excuse – writing is part of daily life.
The exam consists of three parts and lasts about 20 minutes:
Your text will be evaluated based on the following aspects:
The writing section shows whether you can not only understand German but also use it effectively. With good preparation, you can write more confidently and increase your chances of success.
Start practicing early. Mistakes at the beginning are normal. With regular writing practice, guided tasks, and clear examples, you can improve step by step. On our website, you will find plenty of exercises, sample topics, and helpful explanations.
Alex Aldikurz: „Excellent website for exam preparation! There’s a lot of material, and all the best is collected in one place. The only downside is that the names and numbers in the listening and writing sections are spoken too fast (for me). Still, definitely worth the money!“
Nataliia Kh: „I was lucky to come across this website filled with so much useful content for exam preparation. New tasks are constantly being added, and using the platform is very affordable – you can prepare for a small fee. The section for note-taking practice for the B2 exam is especially helpful. I haven't seen such an interesting format for note-writing in any textbook. Many thanks for this brilliant idea!“
Ebru Bingöl: „I strongly recommend it. You don’t need to buy an expensive course. The best preparation is with BO.“
