Examiner feedback
Everyday comprehension in Lesen (62%) and Hören (58%) is close to B1, but production skills block a pass: Schreiben at 36% and Sprechen at 39% contribute most of the gap to the 60% Prep2Go threshold. Prep2Go uses a weighted readiness score — real DTZ certificates report A2/B1 levels per block, not one percentage.
Speaking by part
Teil 1 · Sich vorstellen
Good: Name, Herkunft, Wohnort delivered clearly.
Improve: Add Beruf and one hobby with weil-clause.
Teil 2 · Gespräch
Good: Responded to appointment scheduling prompt.
Improve: Propose alternative times using Könnten wir…?
Teil 3 · Gemeinsame Aufgabe
Good: Understood planning task with examiner.
Improve: Use more negotiation phrases (Vielleicht / Was halten Sie von…?).
Strengths
- Lesen: finds key details in forms, notices, and short news items.
- Sprachbausteine: mostly correct case after prepositions in cloze items.
- Hören: follows appointment and announcement prompts when numbers are noted twice.
- Sprechen: can introduce self and handle familiar topic questions intelligibly.
Areas to improve
- Schreiben 36% — subordinate word order (…weil ich bin müde) and formal email register gaps.
- Sprechen 39% — short answers; weak Perfekt when narrating past events.
- Hören 58% — day/time swaps under pressure (see listening mistake below).
- Overall 53% — below the 60% Prep2Go readiness threshold.
Recommendations
- Writing template for formal email + appointment request (120–140 words); drill weil-clause verb-last.
- Speaking: 2-minute Familie / Wohnen monologue using Perfekt + weil / deshalb.
- Daily Hören drills: announcements and voicemail — write dates and times before answering.
- Use the citizenship vocabulary deck, then retake the mock to confirm production gains.
