One app, three exams
Prepare for the exam you actually booked
Goethe, telc and DTZ test the same four skills, but the papers are not interchangeable. Pick your provider in the app and every test, task type and timer follows.
telc Deutsch
A1A2B1
The standard end-of-course exam inside Germany, with a Sprachbausteine section you can drill for fast score gains.
DTZ
A2B1
The integration-course exam, scored on the A2/B1 scale - the certificate residence and citizenship offices ask for.
All four modules
Hören, Lesen, Schreiben, Sprechen - practised properly
Your certificate is decided by your weakest module. PassDeutsch trains all four, with the timing and the task types of the real exam.
Hören (Listening)
20–40 min
Exam-speed audio with the same number of plays as the real test. Announcements, conversations, radio items - answer as you listen.
Lesen (Reading)
25–90 min
Emails, notices, adverts, official letters and articles, with multiple-choice, matching and true/false tasks - plus Sprachbausteine for telc B1.
Schreiben (Writing)
20–60 min
Write your letter, email or forum post - typed or photographed from paper - and get an examiner-style score with specific corrections.
Sprechen (Speaking)
15–16 min
Record answers to real Sprechen prompts or run a guided AI conversation, then read a scored evaluation of every part.
AI marking
Your Schreiben, marked in seconds
Writing is the module you cannot fix alone - without feedback you simply repeat your mistakes more fluently. Submit a letter, an email or a forum post and PassDeutsch scores it the way an examiner would, then tells you exactly what cost you marks.
- Checks every content point in the prompt - the most expensive thing to miss
- Flags register mistakes: du where Sie belongs, informal closings on formal letters
- Corrects grammar and vocabulary, and shows the repeated patterns
- Reads handwritten answers straight from your camera
Speaking without a partner
Practise Sprechen out loud, tonight
Sprechen is the module most learners skip, because it needs another person. PassDeutsch gives you guided five-minute conversations, exam-format recording tasks and a scored evaluation of every part - so the daily work no longer depends on finding a partner.
- Guided conversation lessons for introductions, appointments and planning tasks
- Recording tasks for Teil 1, 2 and 3 in your provider’s format
- A score per part plus a total out of 100, with what a stronger answer would contain
- Feedback on clarity - including names, numbers and spelling out loud
Everything in one app
More than a quiz app
Six things you would otherwise need a course, a tutor and three separate apps for.

FAQ
Questions people ask before downloading
What is PassDeutsch?
PassDeutsch is a German exam preparation app for the Goethe-Zertifikat, telc Deutsch and the DTZ at A1, A2 and B1. It gives you full-length model tests with real exam timing, AI marking for writing and speaking, vocabulary and grammar training, and analytics that show which module needs work. It is available free on iOS and Android.
Which German exams does PassDeutsch cover?
Three providers: Goethe-Institut (Goethe-Zertifikat A1, A2 and B1), telc Deutsch (A1, A2 and B1, including the Sprachbausteine section at B1) and the DTZ (Deutsch-Test für Zuwanderer), which is certified on the A2/B1 scale.
Which exam should I take - Goethe, telc or DTZ?
Take the exam the institution asking for the certificate accepts. Integration course participants take the DTZ. For visas, university applications and international recognition, the Goethe-Zertifikat travels furthest. telc is very widely used inside Germany and by employers and language schools. All three certify the same CEFR levels; only the format differs.
How does the AI feedback work?
After you submit a writing task or record a speaking answer, the app evaluates it against the criteria examiners use - task fulfilment, structure, register, grammar and vocabulary - and returns a score with specific feedback points: what you did well and exactly what cost you marks. It is instant and available at any hour.
What languages is PassDeutsch available in?
Thirteen: English, Deutsch, Türkçe, বাংলা (Bengali), العربية (Arabic), Українська (Ukrainian), Русский (Russian), हिन्दी (Hindi), اردو (Urdu), Español, Português, Română and Polski. The interface, instructions, grammar explanations and vocabulary definitions are all translated.
Is PassDeutsch free to use?
Yes. The app is free to download and all 210 full-length model tests are free - 30 for every provider and level. So are the 4,566-word vocabulary trainer, the 72 grammar lessons, the reading, writing and listening practice lessons, AI feedback on your writing and speaking, and the progress analytics. There are no adverts anywhere in the app.
What score do I need to pass?
Around 60% is the usual pass mark for Goethe and telc exams. The DTZ works differently: it is a scaled test and your certificate shows A2 or B1 for the written and the oral part. Check the current rules with your test centre when booking.
Are the model tests real exam papers?
No. Official papers are the copyright of the exam boards. PassDeutsch tests are original material built to the same specification: the same modules, part counts, task types, timings and difficulty level.
