Instructions first
Each section opens with an instruction screen like the exam booklet: duration, parts and rules. The timer only starts after it.
Mock exams
The difference between “I can do this” and “I’ll pass this” is a clock. A mock exam runs all four sections at full length, then gives you a result for each one.
Real time limitsAll four sectionsResults savedOne free mock exam
A complete exam under exam conditions.
A mock exam isn’t a longer exercise. It runs the four sections in order at full length, with the same instructions, the same audio and the same timing, then scores each section against your exam board’s pass mark.

The line marks Goethe’s pass mark of 60 per module. Three sections are above it. Schreiben is below, so that’s where your next practice goes.
Not just the tasks. The conditions.
The difference between practising and sitting an exam is rarely the content. It’s the clock, the missing second chance and the order the sections come in.
Real time limits
Once the questions appear, the section timer runs. You get a warning shortly before the end, and the section is submitted when time is up.
Sound and microphone checks
Before Hören you test your sound, and before Sprechen your microphone, so nothing technical costs you points.
Sections in exam order
Lesen, Hören, Schreiben, Sprechen, one after the other, as on the day.
No help while the clock runs
The dictionary, explanations and the AI assistant switch off during the exam and come back for your review.
Pass marks per exam board
60% per module for Goethe and telc, module thresholds for ÖSD, and DSH grades for the DSH. You’re graded by the rule that applies to you.
Three mock exams is the guide, not thirty.
Mock exams are measurements, not practice. Too many use up papers you’ll want fresh later, and push out the targeted practice that actually earns points.
After your first week
It shows how the gap to the pass mark changes under time pressure, usually by a lot.
Three weeks before
Early enough to lift one weak section on purpose.
One week before
Confirmation, not diagnosis. If every section is above the line here, you’re ready.
Is a mock exam part of the free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes one full mock exam, so you can feel the real timing before you decide.
Your exam date is fixed. Your preparation shouldn’t be.
Tell Deutschtrainer which certificate you booked and the level you need. From then on, everything points at the day you sit in the exam room.
