Level-B2

There are two portions of the B2 exam:

1. Written examination held in groups (Writing-80 Minutes; Listening-30 Minutes; Reading-80 Minutes)
   • You will listen to everyday conversations, personal phone messages or public announcements over a loudspeaker and do realistic exercises on them.
   • You will read texts such as notes, classified advertisements, signposts or posters and do exercises on them.
   • Write your reaction to an article that you read and in the next assignment you will be correcting a text or a letter.
2. Oral examination held in a group (15 minutes)
   • You introduce yourself to the examiner and examination partner. A relaxed question-and-answer session will present a topic and express your opinions for the same. You will also hold a conversation with your examination partner.

To reach the B2 level without any prior German knowledge, we suggest you plan for at least 60 hours of studying. That may sounds like a lot, but it’s actually only about 1-1.5 months of self-studying for an entirely new language.

A good, affordable place to start is right off the Study Feeds website. We offer free practice materials to get you set for the level you are testing for.

Once you feel that you meet the language requirements, you can enroll for an exam at any time. You can find all of the testing centers directly on the Goethe Institute’s website. Also, it is conducted quarterly in Delhi. Therefore, you can visit your nearest examination centre and update yourself. To know about your nearest language examination testing centre, you can check the website of the respective institution conducting the examination. In India, German language examinations are conducted by Goethe and TestDaF.
