What B1 exam preparation costs

Intensive course, private tutor or B1 Prüfung Trainer: compare your options on price and flexibility.

Cost comparison

Preparing costs less than you think.

The exam fee is already high — and failing has its own cost. Put the options side by side.

Intensive course (Intensivkurs)

~€200–400 / month

Fixed hours, fixed pace. In most courses the exam format only shows up in the final weeks.

Private tutoring

~€25–40 / hour

One-on-one attention is great, but every Schreiben you write costs extra — and practice tests burn lesson hours.

B1 Prüfung Trainer

Two tests free

8 practice tests (telc B1 + DTZ), 435 explanations and an AI Schreiben coach in your pocket — any time, at your own pace.

Course and tutoring prices are rough ranges for Germany and vary by city and provider. The app doesn't replace a course — alongside one, it drills the format and shows your weak spots.

Two practice tests and a mini test are free.

Start with the free 10–15 minute mini test (one part each of Lesen, Sprachbausteine and Hören) to see your level. Download, solve telc B1 Test 1 and DTZ Test 1 start to finish and see the explanations. One AI writing evaluation is free as well. Premium unlocks all tests, mistake review and up to 5 AI writing evaluations per day — choose monthly, 3-month or a one-time Lifetime purchase.
