ÖSD · ÖSD ZERTIFIKAT DEUTSCH A1

öSD A1 — ÖSD Zertifikat deutsch A1

Two full ÖSD A1 mocks matched to the REAL Austrian splits — Lesen and Hören are worth 30 points each, Schreiben just 15. Prepping with an even-split Goethe paper half-prepares you for this exam.

THE PAPER — VERIFIED FORMAT

ÖSD is the only A1 body that certifies modules separately: pass the written module and the oral module within one year at the same center and both count toward the full certificate.

Lesen · Reading

25 MIN · 30 PTS

3 tasks · 16 items

Three reading exercises for general and detailed understanding of simple authentic texts — brief notices, short notes, announcements from Austria, Germany and Switzerland.

Z.B.A Vienna notice „Der Laden bleibt am Freitag geschlossen“ → who/what/when items.

Hören · Listening

10 MIN · 30 PTS

3 tasks · 15 items

Brief, simple conversations on everyday topics in standard German (Austrian, German or Swiss recordings), each feeding a comprehension exercise.

Z.B.A short dialogue about a bakery order → tick the items the customer actually buys.

Schreiben · Writing

20 MIN · 15 PTS

2 tasks

Task 1: fill out a form. Task 2: write a simple personal email. Evaluated against the published ÖSD criteria sheet.

Z.B.Registration form for a language course — Name, Adresse, Beruf, Telefonnummer — then a short sign-up email.

Sprechen · Speaking

10 MIN · 25 PTS

3 tasks · +10 min prep

Briefly introduce yourself, describe an image, and perform a simulated dialogue — the only A1 speaking with preparation time, and worth a quarter of the total.

Z.B.Photo of a market stall → describe what you see, then role-play buying fruit with the examiner.

WHAT THE BUNDLE CONTAINS

  • 2 full A1 mock exams in the exact öSD format — every Teil, every timing, every point split
  • Complete solutions with worked answers — why each answer is right, not just the key
  • Listening transcripts — every word the audio reads, for line-by-line review
  • The A-A2-prep vocabulary checklist the tasks actually draw from (~650 core words at A1)
  • Exam-day playbook: what to bring, the order of parts, timing discipline, how the group speaking opens
  • Self-scoring sheet matching the official point grid — mark yourself honestly before the real paper

Candidates at an ÖSD center — Austria, South-East Europe, and ÖSD-licensed centers worldwide. Different task types (photo description, prepared speaking) demand their own prep.
