Try a real question
Hören, Teil 1: what are they eating?
In the app the recording plays as on exam day. Here is the question with what you would hear.
From Goethe A1 · Modellsatz 1 · Hören · Teil 1, as the app sets it.
Sie hören sechs kurze Gespräche aus dem Alltag. Zu jedem Text gibt es eine Aufgabe. Kreuzen Sie an: a, b oder c. Sie hören jeden Text zweimal.

Answer: c) Nudeln.
What you hear
Sag mal, hast du Hunger? Wollen wir eine Pizza bestellen?
Pizza? Nein, darauf habe ich keine Lust. Ich habe gestern schon Pizza gegessen.
Okay. Was ist mit Nudeln? Ich kann eine gute Tomatensauce kochen.
Ja, super. Nudeln mit Tomatensauce sind perfekt.

Pass line: 60% per module
The app marks every module and shows the pass line on the result, with the answer sheet by Teil. It is a practice score and says so: not an official result.
Every wrong answer explained
After a module you can open each question, hear the recording again and read why the right answer is right.
Grammar and words close the gaps
The 75 grammar lessons and the Goethe word lists are one tap away from the paper you just marked.

Which levels are there?
A1, A2 and B1. There is no B2 practice yet.
Are all modules in every set?
At A1, yes: all ten exams have Lesen, Hören, Schreiben and Sprechen. At A2 and B1 some sets cover only some modules, so those levels are called practice sets.
Does it include listening?
Yes. The Hören recordings are part of the mock exams and play the way they do on exam day.
Are these real Goethe papers?
No. Every paper is written by Lingotivo after the published format. They are practice material, not past papers.
Can I switch between Goethe and telc?
Yes. Both are German exam tracks in one account; keep one or both.
Can I practise on the web too?
Yes, right here on goethe.lingotivo.com. Log in with the account you use in the app, or start free in the browser: your course, your progress and Pro are the same in both.
Is it free?
You can start free: the first part of every word list and exam is open. Lingotivo Pro opens every lesson, word list and mock exam, in the app and on the web.
Does it work offline?
Yes. The courses you open are kept on the iPhone, so papers and word lists work without a connection. Your progress syncs with the web when you are online.
