Don't let writing hold you back.

Goethe B1 Schreiben is worth 20 points. Many learners drill grammar and practice prompts — yet never learn what their essay would really score, which mistakes matter, or what is missing — until they leave the exam room.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as one “essay”? What does it include?+

The B1 Goethe writing exam has three parts (three Teile). Teil 1 is an informal letter or message about everyday life. Teil 2 is a personal opinion on a given topic. Teil 3 is a more formal letter or message.

What if I submit after the deadline?+

Late submissions move to the following week. That slot is not refunded because the teacher already planned around it. Submit early when you can.

Can I switch plans mid-cycle?+

DeutschWeg does not support mid-cycle plan switches yet. Your current plan runs until it ends. Near expiry, open Account → My plans to choose the next cycle.

How do I submit essays and receive feedback?+

Each week you receive the prompt by email, then submit on the Writing page. Teachers grade your work and send detailed feedback to you.

I am still at A2 — can I join?+

The course fits best at B1 or late A2. If you are unsure, take the free level check — send one essay and get feedback within about two days.
