Both parts in one day
BBI runs the written and oral sections on the same day, with slots from 08:30 to 20:00. One trip rather than two - but a long day, and the evening slots go first.

German exam centres in Magdeburg
Magdeburg punches above its weight on frequency: telc exams run several times a week, with the written and oral parts on the same day and results in four to six weeks. That makes it a useful fallback for the whole of Saxony-Anhalt when a deadline is close.

Booking in this city
What is different about Magdeburg
Fourteen days, with ID
Registration closes a fortnight before the exam and you need a passport or photo ID. That is tighter than Dresden’s five weeks and looser than Augsburg’s month.
Frequency is the local advantage
Two centres examining several times a week is unusual outside the big cities. If Leipzig, Halle or Berlin have no date in your window, Magdeburg often will.
One centre, two cities
BBI runs the same programme in Magdeburg and Halle-Trotha, so if one location is booked the other may not be.

Booking is the easy half. Sit a full model test in the format you booked - Goethe, telc or DTZ - and let the analytics tell you which module needs the weeks between now and your date.
