Which exams does it prepare for?
The written sections of telc Deutsch B1 and the DTZ (Deutsch-Test für Zuwanderer): 5 telc B1 practice tests (300 questions) and 3 DTZ practice tests (135 questions). All content is original practice material in the official format; it does not include the oral exam (Sprechen) or an official certificate.
What is the DTZ and how is it different from telc B1?
The DTZ (Deutsch-Test für Zuwanderer) is the final exam of the German integration course (Integrationskurs), run by g.a.s.t.; there is no pass or fail, and the result is level A2 or B1. telc Deutsch B1 is a certificate exam with a pass mark, and its written part also includes Sprachbausteine (language elements).
How long is the DTZ exam?
The written part takes 100 minutes without a break: Hören about 25 minutes, Lesen 45 minutes, Schreiben 30 minutes. The oral part (Sprechen) is taken in pairs and lasts 16–20 minutes.
What do A2 and B1 mean in the DTZ?
The DTZ has no pass or fail; each part gets its own level. Hören and Lesen are scored together out of 45 points (33 or more is B1, 20–32 is A2), Schreiben out of 20 points (15 or more is B1, 7–14 is A2). The app's DTZ practice tests show your result as A2 or B1 using the same bands.
What score do you need to pass telc B1?
telc Deutsch B1 has 300 points in total: 225 for the written exam and 75 for the oral exam. To pass, you need at least 135 points (60%) in the written part and at least 45 points (60%) in the oral part. The app scores its telc tests with the same official 225-point calculation and 60% pass line.
How long is the telc B1 exam and what are its sections?
The written exam has four sections: Lesen (reading), Sprachbausteine (language elements), Hören (listening) and Schreiben (writing). Lesen and Sprachbausteine share 90 minutes, Hören takes about 30 minutes, Schreiben 30 minutes. All four are in the app with the same structure and timing.
Is there a German B1 prep app with Turkish explanations?
Yes. In B1 Prüfung Trainer, each of the 435 questions has an explanation in Turkish and in German; the interface is available in English, German and Turkish. The app is available for iPhone on the App Store.
Is it free, and what does Premium include?
The download is free; one telc B1 test, one DTZ test, a 10–15 minute mini test and one AI writing evaluation are free. Premium unlocks all tests, mistake review and up to 5 AI writing evaluations per day. You can choose monthly, 3-month or a one-time Lifetime purchase.
Does it work offline?
Yes. All tests and explanations ship with the app — solve them on a plane. Only the AI Schreiben evaluation and in-app purchases need an internet connection.
How does the AI Schreiben evaluation work?
You write your letter in the app; the AI gives a score out of 20, point-by-point feedback and a corrected text (for telc against Inhalt, Kommunikative Gestaltung and Formale Richtigkeit; for the DTZ as an A2/B1 level estimate). The score is a study estimate, not an official telc or DTZ score.
Is this an official telc app?
No. B1 Prüfung Trainer is an independent study product and is not affiliated with telc gGmbH, g.a.s.t. e.V. or BAMF. All exercises are original, exam-style material and not official test content.
