The most reliable way to get there is to start from a solid B1, train each module with timed practice, and add weekly speaking and writing feedback over about 12 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guide gives you the exam structure, a week-by-week plan, ready-to-use phrases for the Schreiben and Sprechen modules, a mock-test routine and the mistakes that cost the most points. It assumes you are already at B1. If you are not sure, check B1 or B2: which level do you need? first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you are preparing for (as of October 2026)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the Goethe-Institut&#8217;s B2 regulations, the exam consists of four parts that can be taken together or individually: three written modules in a group and one oral module, usually in pairs. Formats on paper, digital at a centre and online exist, depending on the exam centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Module<\/th><th>Time<\/th><th>What it contains (per the official model paper)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Lesen (reading)<\/td><td>65 min<\/td><td>5 parts, matching and multiple-choice, 30 checkpoints in total<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>H\u00f6ren (listening)<\/td><td>about 40 min<\/td><td>4 parts, some texts heard once, some twice<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Schreiben (writing)<\/td><td>75 min<\/td><td>Part 1: forum post, about 150 words, 50 min. Part 2: message to a supervisor or similar, about 100 words, 25 min<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Sprechen (speaking)<\/td><td>about 15 min per pair, plus 15 min preparation<\/td><td>Part 1: presentation (about 4 min), Part 2: discussion (about 5 min)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check the exact timings for your centre in the current regulations and model paper. The Goethe-Institut publishes free model papers: the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goethe.de\/pro\/relaunch\/prf\/materialien\/B2\/b2_modellsatz_erwachsene.pdf\">official B2 model set<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goethe.de\/pro\/relaunch\/prf\/en\/Durchfuehrungsbestimmungen_B2.pdf\">B2 regulations<\/a>. Use them as your main practice material. Details of scoring are in <a href=\"\/blog\/goethe-b2-passing-score\/\">Goethe B2 passing score<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two points matter for your plan:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Each module has a maximum of 100 points and a pass mark of 60.<\/strong> If one module is weak, you can retake only that module; the regulations say modules can be repeated as often as the exam centre&#8217;s organisation allows. The centre sets the fee and dates.<\/li><li><strong>Reading and listening are scored from 30 checkpoints converted to 100 points.<\/strong> Writing and speaking are assessed directly by raters.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the German B2 exam easy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No, and nobody should tell you it is. It is a step up from B1: longer texts, opinions instead of facts, and tasks that ask you to argue. How hard it feels depends on your starting point and on the module. For a closer look, read <a href=\"\/blog\/is-german-b2-exam-hard\/\">Is the German B2 exam hard?<\/a>. The good news is that the tasks are predictable, so structured practice works better than general studying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The 12-week plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This plan assumes about 10 hours per week (roughly 1.5 hours per day) and a B1 starting level. The time budget is yours to adjust. For how many hours your own route needs, see <a href=\"\/blog\/hours-to-reach-b2-german\/\">hours to reach B2 German<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Weeks<\/th><th>Focus<\/th><th>Weekly routine (about 10 h)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>1<\/td><td>Diagnosis<\/td><td>Do one full model paper under timed conditions. Mark each module.

Treat these as a budget, not a rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Read the question first, then the text.<\/strong> In matching tasks, mark keywords in the statements.<\/li><li><strong>Never spend more than the budget on one part.<\/strong> Skip, return at the end.<\/li><li><strong>Train synonyms.<\/strong> The exam rewrites words. If the text says <em>Mitarbeiter<\/em>, the statement may say <em>Besch\u00e4ftigte<\/em>.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For self-study without a partner, see <a href=\"\/blog\/learn-b2-german-by-yourself\/\">learn B2 German by yourself<\/a>. Practice routine: one part per day, timed, then write down every word you missed in a vocabulary list with an example sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to pass H\u00f6ren (listening, about 40 minutes)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The model paper shows four parts with ten, six, six and eight items; some recordings are heard once, others twice. The paper also includes 5 minutes to transfer answers. Check the transfer time at your centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Read the questions in the pause.<\/strong> You will not have time while the audio plays.<\/li><li><strong>Listen for the opinion, not just the facts.<\/strong> B2 tasks often ask who says what.<\/li><li><strong>Practise with audio you only play once<\/strong> at least twice a week, so the single-play parts do not surprise you.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Practise your German out loud with SipLingo, free to try on iPhone and Android:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"siplingo-store-badges\" style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;justify-content:center;align-items:center;gap:12px;margin:24px 0;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/app\/id6783970183\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/siplingo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/app_store.png\" alt=\"Download SipLingo on the App Store\" style=\"height:52px;width:auto;\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=ch.zgdevelopment.siplingo&amp;referrer=utm_source%3Dblog%26utm_medium%3Dpost%26utm_campaign%3Dhow-to-pass-german-b2-exam%26utm_content%3Dbadge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/siplingo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/play_store.png\" alt=\"Get SipLingo on Google Play\" style=\"height:52px;width:auto;\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to pass Schreiben (writing, 75 minutes)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The model paper shows a forum post (about 150 words, 50 minutes) and a shorter message (about 100 words, 25 minutes).
