Goethe B2 Writing: Fulfilling the Task
Updated: 24 September 2026 · Checked against official exam sources
Task fulfilment is a separate category in the official B2 writing rubric; the requested content points matter in both writing tasks.
A way to approach it
Turn all points into a short plan before drafting. Address each explicitly while keeping the text’s purpose, reader and genre in view.
Final check
Reaching a word target alone is insufficient; check that you actually performed every requested action.
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.
