It has three parts, and you need at least 60% of the speaking points to pass that section. The oral part is 25% of the total score, and it&#8217;s the one people fear most and prepare least.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The format at a glance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th><\/th><th><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Preparation<\/strong><\/td><td>About 20 minutes, alone, without learning materials<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Exam<\/strong><\/td><td>About 15 minutes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Format<\/strong><\/td><td>In a pair with another candidate, with examiners present<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Parts<\/strong><\/td><td>3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Points<\/strong><\/td><td>75 of the exam&#8217;s 300 points (25%)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Pass mark<\/strong><\/td><td>60% of the speaking points (45 of 75)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The written and oral sections are passed separately, and you need 60% in each. If you fail one, the exam is not passed, even with a high score in the other. This is one of the main differences to Goethe, where you can pass modules individually. For a full comparison see <a href=\"\/blog\/telc-b1-vs-dtz-vs-goethe\/\">telc B1 vs DTZ vs Goethe B1<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Part 1: Kontaktaufnahme (about 3 to 4 minutes)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What it is:<\/strong> a get-to-know-you conversation. During preparation you receive a list of prompts, for example: name, origin, family, job, hobbies, reasons for learning German. You must talk about each point, and your partner does the same, then you both ask each other follow-up questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What earns points:<\/strong> speaking about every point, adding a detail to each, and asking questions back. Points are given for interaction, not just monologue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Model:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Ich hei\u00dfe Ana, ich komme aus Portugal und wohne seit einem Jahr in Stuttgart.

Two things surprise candidates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Perfect grammar isn&#8217;t required.<\/strong> A mistake that doesn&#8217;t block understanding costs little. Silence, one-word answers and ignoring your partner cost a lot.<\/li><li><strong>Your partner matters.<\/strong> If they talk too little, you&#8217;re expected to draw them in with questions. If they talk too much, politely interrupt: <em>Darf ich kurz etwas erg\u00e4nzen?<\/em><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The 20 minutes of preparation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use them like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Minutes<\/th><th>What<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>0 to 3<\/td><td>Read all three tasks quickly<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3 to 8<\/td><td>Part 1: write keywords (not sentences) for each prompt<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>8 to 14<\/td><td>Part 2: read your text twice, underline 3 key points, note your opinion and one example<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>14 to 20<\/td><td>Part 3: note 4 ideas you can offer, plus 2 polite objections<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Write <strong>keywords<\/strong>, not full sentences. If you read sentences, you&#8217;ll sound like you&#8217;re reading, and you&#8217;ll lose the thread the moment your partner interrupts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common mistakes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Reading the text aloud<\/strong> instead of summarising it in your own words<\/li><li><strong>Saying only &#8220;Ja, ich auch.&#8221;<\/strong> with no detail<\/li><li><strong>Wrong verb position<\/strong> after <em>dass<\/em> and <em>weil<\/em>: <em>Ich finde, dass Homeoffice ist praktisch.<\/em> The verb goes last: <em>dass Homeoffice praktisch ist.<\/em><\/li><li><strong>Dominating Part 3.<\/strong> Ask questions.<\/li><li><strong>Switching between <em>du<\/em> and <em>Sie<\/em>.<\/strong> Candidates often address each other with <em>du<\/em> in the exam, but <em>Sie<\/em> is fine too. Pick one and stay with it.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to practise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hardest part of telc speaking is that it&#8217;s an interaction: you can&#8217;t fully rehearse a partner. So practise the <em>reactions<\/em>: proposals, polite objections, agreements. Do the exam tasks aloud at least 10 times, timed, and record yourself once a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>SipLingo can be your practice partner for Parts 1 and 3, with voice conversations and corrections in your own language.<\/strong> It&#8217;s not the official telc test and it doesn&#8217;t replace real exam materials, but it gives you the speaking hours the exam rewards. <a href=\"https:\/\/siplingo.com\/download?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_campaign=telc-b1-speaking-exam&amp;utm_content=inline\">Try it free \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also useful: our list of <a href=\"\/blog\/50-b1-speaking-exam-questions\/\">50 questions you&#8217;ll be asked in the B1 speaking exam<\/a> and the guide on <a href=\"\/blog\/practice-german-speaking-exam-alone\/\">how to practise the speaking exam alone<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Official sources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the official details and the latest updates, see:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.telc.net\/en\/language-examinations\/certificate-exams\/german\/certificate-german-telc-german-b1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">telc gGmbH: Zertifikat Deutsch \/ telc Deutsch B1 \u2013 official exam page<\/a> \u2013 Written and oral parts, timings, 3-part pair speaking exam with 20-min prep<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How long is the telc B1 speaking exam?<\/strong><br>\nAbout 15 minutes, after around 20 minutes of preparation.
