Just watch this B1 example from Goethe. No way that's even a B1, in fact people from my class with A2 passed it without effort, as I said.

Why? They have a typical B1 level.

Do they?
No Relativesätze, no Doppelkonjunktionen, no concessive structures, very few Nebensätze, mostly first person singular present tense.
I disagree, those are all structures defined in Goethe Zertifikat B1.

I've gone through both Goethe B1 and B2 exams and disagree with a lot of what's being said in this thread so far.
The B1 exam is usually fairly easy, the B2 a lot less. The Cs are supposed to be unforgiving.
I know the people in this forum form a particularly motivated crowd, but we should be aware that not everyone is as committed as we are.
I'd suggest a Prüfungstraining book. Those have worked well for me in the past.
By the way, the interview part of the exam is not an example of anything, unless you freeze.
I could go into more detail, but I'd rather stick to the point. If you need more, ask.

I think this is normal for B1. Especially the speaking part tends to be over-estimated.
Quote:
Ich kann in einfachen zusammenhängenden Sätzen sprechen, um Erfahrungen und Ereignisse oder meine Träume, Hoffnungen und Ziele zu beschreiben. Ich kann kurz meine Meinungen und Pläne erklären und begründen. Ich kann eine Geschichte erzählen oder die Handlung eines Buches oder Films wiedergeben und meine Reaktionen beschreiben. |
