You are taking the DTZ
The DTZ is the German test for people who have moved to Germany, taken at A2 or B1. Practise the whole paper, not a single part.
You learn German in daily life
The six tests are themed around everyday matters: neighbourhood, work and health, housing and offices, school and training, shopping and contracts, leisure and travel.
You are aiming for B1
The app tells you whether your Hören and Lesen result reaches B1, reaches A2, or is not there yet.

Lesen Sie die Situationen 26–30 und die Anzeigen a–h. Finden Sie für jede Situation die passende Anzeige. Für eine Aufgabe gibt es keine Lösung. Markieren Sie in diesem Fall ein X.
Eine Freundin möchte sich gegen Unfälle versichern.
Anzeige a: Gut versorgt mit Corpus-Versicherungen:
Eine private Krankenversicherung hat viele Vorteile. Die Versicherung passt genau zu Ihrem Lebensstil und Sie können viel Geld sparen.
Anzeige b: Tiere …
… sind leider nicht erlaubt. Aber sonst hat die 3-Zimmer-Wohnung in der Nähe des Stadtparks fast alles, was Sie sich wünschen: 3 Zimmer, ca. 75 qm, ein tolles Badezimmer, einen großen Garten (für alle Mieter).
Anzeige c: Wohnung gesucht?
Wir bieten an: 1-Zimmer-Wohnung, 30 qm, zentrale Lage, kleiner Balkon. Badezimmer ganz neu, Heizung von 2017.
Anzeige d: Große Familie?
Wenn die Kinder spielen oder Sport machen, kann schnell etwas passieren. Dann ist es gut, wenn sich jemand um alles kümmert – die Unfallversicherung der „Neuen Thüringer Versicherungen“!

Exam format
A DTZ practice test
Every one of the six tests has all four parts, with the times and parts below.
| Module | Time | Parts | In the app |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hören | 25 min | 4 Teile | 6 tests |
| Lesen | 45 min | 5 Teile | 6 tests |
| Schreiben | 30 min | 2 tasks | 6 tests |
| Sprechen | 16 min | 4 Teile | 6 tests |
B1 from 33 of 45, A2 from 20 of 45
Hören and Lesen are marked together against these lines. The result says Passed, A2 level reached or Not passed yet. It is a practice score, not an official result.
Writing and Speaking with models
These parts are assessed by people in the real test. In the app you compare your work with a model answer and a checklist.
Explained answers
Every question can be opened after the part: the right answer, the reason and the transcript for Hören.
