Writing feedback

Every text comes back graded on the criteria an examiner uses, with the sentence that cost you points marked and the rule behind it named.

Feedback that quotes the marking criteria.

Each text is graded on the criteria the examiner actually uses. The sentence that cost you points is marked and rewritten.

  • Graded by criteriaTask completion, coherence, vocabulary and structures, each on the official scale of your exam and level.
  • Mistakes named, not just marked“Dative instead of accusative” teaches more than a red line. The rule is explained in your mother language.
  • Model answers at your level and one aboveA clean answer at your level, and one a level higher with a note on what makes it stronger.

The post covers the task completely, but the vocabulary repeats: gut appears four times. Replace two with sinnvoll and vorteilhaft and Wortschatz goes up.

What gets graded, and what doesn’t.

An examiner doesn’t give one overall mark and work backwards. They give part scores on a published grid. Deutschtrainer does the same, and names the criterion for every point lost.

Erfüllung

Did you cover every part of the task? A forum post with an opinion but without the two required arguments loses points here, however good the German.

Task completion

Kohärenz

How sentences and paragraphs connect: connectors, references, order. It rises fastest once you use two-part connectors.

Coherence and linking

Wortschatz

Range and precision. Four times “gut” in one text isn’t a grammar mistake, but it keeps this criterion down.

Range of vocabulary

Strukturen

Case, verb position, subordinate clauses and prepositions, named as a rule rather than a red line.

Grammar and structures

The criteria differ by exam. These four are Goethe’s. telc, ÖSD and DSH are graded by their own.

Why the rule matters more than the correction

Correcting “in dem Zug” to “im Zug” helps once. Reading “preposition plus case: the contraction is expected here” helps with every text after it.

Is this an official result?

No, and we don’t present it as one. The grading follows the same published grid as the exam and is reliable enough to show which section is below the line. Treat it as a strong indicator, and the mock exam as the confirmation.

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.
