Reading sample task
A typical B2 reading item gives you several short texts (adverts or notices) and a list of people with specific needs; you match each person to the right text. The trick is that the matching text paraphrases the need rather than repeating its words.
Example: 'Anna sucht einen Kurs am Abend.' The correct advert might say 'Unterricht ab 18 Uhr' — same idea, different words. Train yourself to spot the synonym, not the exact match.
Sprachbausteine sample
A gap-fill sentence such as 'Ich komme später, ___ ich noch arbeiten muss.' tests connectors — here the answer is 'weil'. These items reward Konjunktiv II, passive voice, relative clauses, connectors like obwohl/trotzdem/je…desto, nominalisation and verb-noun collocations (Funktionsverbgefüge), and they are fast points once you have drilled the structures.
Listening sample task
You might hear a short announcement and answer whether a statement is true or false, or pick the correct option. Example: an announcement says the train is delayed by 20 minutes; the question asks how long passengers must wait. Listen for the number — that one detail is the answer.
Writing sample task
A writing prompt gives you a situation and bullets to cover. Example: write to a language school to ask about a course, covering why you're interested, your level, and a request for prices. one longer text — typically a formal letter, complaint or opinion piece of around 150 words where register and argument matter. The examiner checks that all three bullets appear and that your register is consistent.
Speaking sample task
A speaking prompt might show a topic card — for example 'Einkaufen im Internet' — and ask you to give your opinion and discuss it with your partner, then plan something together such as organising a friend's birthday. The examiner listens for opinions, reasons and genuine interaction.
How the questions are marked
Reading and listening are marked objectively — each correct answer scores. Writing and speaking are marked against criteria: content (did you cover the task?), structure, accuracy and range. Knowing these criteria lets you give the examiner exactly what they reward.
