Updated: 24 September 2026 · Checked against official exam sources

The Goethe B2 adult model provides separate answer sheets for Reading and Listening; only transferred answers are assessed.

A way to approach it

Include transfer within the 65-minute Reading time. In Listening, use the five minutes after the audio to transfer answers.

Final check

Prevent shifted answers by matching each question number to its marked box in the final check.

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.
