Yes, indeed, some of our course participants successfully pass the Goethe-Zertifikat B1 exam right after completing their B1 course. If you're aiming to achieve this, you have the option to enroll in the B1 exam preparation course concurrently in the last month (month 6) alongside your ongoing B1 course. We suggest this path only if you truly have the time and energy to dedicate to daily German studies.
For those not in a rush, it's advisable to embark on the B1 exam preparation course following the conclusion of your B1 course (in month 7), proceeding to the exam only thereafter. This approach allows you ample time to consolidate your learning and become thoroughly acquainted with the exam's structure, all with significantly less pressure. It also enhances your prospects of acing the exam on your first attempt. Remember, you're eligible to undertake the Goethe-Zertifikat B1 exam—and a repeat exam if needed—within four months following your B1 course completion.
Beyond the B1 exam, our Complete German B1+ package includes both the A1 and A2 exams, which we believe are instrumental in paving your way to B1 success. The Complete German B1+ package is versatile, catering to both in-person and online course participants. On the other hand, the Complete German B1 package is tailored specifically for our online learners, featuring only the B1 exam. This could be particularly appealing if you're situated far from a Goethe-Institut and face challenges in traveling for exams. Opting for the Complete German B1+ package could lead to substantial savings—up to IDR 7,500,000, in contrast to the IDR 5,600,000 savings with the Complete German B1 package.
First off, congratulations on passing the Goethe-Zertifikat B1 exam on your first attempt! This significant milestone qualifies you for a IDR 1,500,000 discount, which you can apply towards enrolling in a B2 course. Alternatively, you have the generous option of transferring this discount to a friend who is interested in starting their German language journey with us but hasn't enrolled yet.
Please remember, it's important to act promptly as this discount is valid for only 2 months following the announcement of your Goethe-Zertifikat B1 exam results.
We're dedicated to ensuring you're as well-prepared as possible for the Goethe-Zertifikat B1 exam, aiming for you to pass on your first try. To truly gauge your progress and set the right expectations for the Goethe exams, we believe it's crucial that the Goethe-Zertifikat B1 exam isn't your first encounter with an official exam setting. The experiences gained from taking the Goethe-Zertifikat A1 and A2 exams are invaluable. They not only give you a practical sense of the exam environment but also help you identify your strengths and pinpoint areas that need further improvement.
Our approach is rooted in the belief that firsthand experience with the Goethe-Zertifikat exams at the A1 and A2 levels significantly enhances your chances of success in the Goethe-Zertifikat B1 exam. For those participating in our classroom courses, we see taking these preliminary exams as a crucial step in your learning journey. However, we recognize that for individuals living outside Jakarta or Bandung, accessing our exam centers to take these exams may pose a challenge. With this in mind, we offer this package excluding the Goethe-Zertifikat A1 and A2 exams, only to our online-course participants.
The answer varies depending on the package you choose. With the Complete German B1+ package, it's essential to take the Goethe-Zertifikat A1 and A2 exams right after you complete each respective course. Doing so is a strategic way to gauge your areas of strength and those requiring more focus as you progress in your language learning journey.
For both the Complete German B1+ and Complete German B1 packages, you have the flexibility to schedule your B1 exam—and a repeat exam, if necessary—within four months following the conclusion of your B1 course. This scheduling flexibility allows you the option to enroll in a Goethe-Zertifikat B1 exam preparation course immediately after your B1 course, providing ample time to review and solidify your knowledge before taking the exam. Whether you choose to take the exam a month or two later, this window is designed to enhance your preparedness.
Furthermore, for those not residing in Jakarta or Bandung, such as in Bali, near Medan, Semarang, or Makassar, you have the opportunity to sit for the Goethe-Zertifikat B1 exam at these locations, should an exam date be available in the near future.
Should you not pass a course due to insufficient attendance or unsatisfactory performance, and therefore not progress to the next level, your entitlement to a complimentary exam seat will be forfeited, and you will be ineligible for the discount promotion. Depending on the specific course you did not complete—your deposit will either be fully retained (for the B1 course) or in parts (for the A1 or A2 courses). However, we encourage you not to lose heart. You are always welcome to enroll in another regular course through our webshop.
If you're enrolled in the Complete German B1+ package and find yourself not passing the Goethe-Zertifikat A1 or A2 exam, it's a valuable opportunity to connect with your teacher. Discuss the challenges you faced during the exam and identify areas for improvement in your subsequent course or before your next attempt. While you're allowed to progress to the next level without passing, it's important to reflect on how this might affect your readiness for the Goethe-Zertifikat B1 exam. Consider strategies to enhance your preparation. If you decide to retake the exam, simply sign up for another official exam session through our webshop. Please note, retakes for the Goethe-Zertifikat A1 or A2 exam are not covered by the Complete German B1+ package, but don't let this deter you. Every step is a learning opportunity towards mastering the language.
It's not uncommon to face challenges with the Goethe-Zertifikat B1 exam on your first try, especially with its various modules. But there's no need to worry. Our package thoughtfully includes the option for a second attempt. You can retake the B1 exam within four months following the completion of your B1 course. And if you prefer, you can choose to retake only those specific modules that you didn't pass initially. This approach helps you focus on strengthening particular areas, enhancing your chances of success in your next attempt.
Should an installment payment not be made by the agreed-upon deadline (for example, at the end of the month), you'll still be able to continue with your course uninterrupted. However, it's important to note that we'll retain your deposit and your right to a complimentary exam seat will be forfeited. Despite this, you retain the ability to enroll in future courses or register for exams through our webshop as you normally would.
