Listening in telc Deutsch B1: the three parts of Hörverstehen

You hear part 1 only once, parts 2 and 3 twice. The second time, you check what you marked the first time.

Before each part you read the statements: 30 seconds before part 1, one minute before part 2. For each statement you decide true or false and mark „+“ or „–“ on the answer sheet. The recording runs without a break. In parts 1 and 3 each task is worth 5 points, in part 2 2.5 each.

How often each text plays at B1 and B2, and what that means for practice: How many times do you hear each text?

• Use the reading time: in each statement, underline the word that matters — a time, a place, a number, an „only“ or a „not“.
• A statement can be false over one detail: a different day, a different person.
• Missed a bit? Mark an answer anyway and listen for the next statement — the recording does not wait.
• Practise with recordings that run as in the exam: no pause button, with the reading time before.

In our B1 tests the listening runs as in the exam: in one go, with the pauses for reading, and every text as often as in telc Deutsch B1. Afterwards you see every statement with its answer.
