Goethe B1 Reading Part 3: Matching Situations and Ads
Updated: 24 September 2026 · Checked against official exam sources
The official adult model matches seven situations with adverts; each advert is used once and one situation has no match, marked 0.
A way to approach it
Extract each person’s non-negotiable condition first: time, medium, subject or level. Eliminate adverts that fail it.
Final check
A shared keyword is not enough; check the no-match option deliberately.
Practise with the official sample
Take the relevant part of the Goethe-Institut adult model set to its official time. Use the key for Reading and Listening and the published criteria for Writing and Speaking. In your next attempt, measure whether the same error recurs.
