TELC A2 · START DEUTSCH 2

One shared clock. One answer sheet. One rehearsal that matches both.

Four complete telc Deutsch A2 mock papers in the official grid — Hören with its once-heard Teil 2, Lesen und Schreiben in ONE 50-minute block, the ten minutes spent transferring 45 answers onto the Antwortbogen, the × 1,66 conversion and the Prädikate table — each with its own solution book, plus five cheat sheets on the grammar and the paper craft telc grades.

THIS IS THE A2 PAPER THAT RUNS ON A SHARED CLOCK

Lesen and Schreiben in telc Deutsch A2 are not two sections. They are one block of fifty minutes — and the answer sheet is still blank when the clock stops.

Every Goethe-shaped practice book gives you a reading part and a writing part, each with its own time. telc does not. You get 50 minutes for both, then ten minutes to transfer every one of your answers onto the Antwortbogen S30 — and that transfer is inside the exam, not after it. Spend too long on Lesen Teil 3 and the time comes out of your e-mail. Every candidate who ever failed this paper on the clock wishes they had rehearsed the trade; nobody discovers it from a key at the back of a book.

THE TELC ARITHMETIC — 36 RAW POINTS IS A PASS

Fifteen raw points per skill. Sixty in total — forty-five written, fifteen spoken. Multiply by 1,66 and 100 is the maximum. Thirty-six raw points is where the certificate starts.

15 + 15 + 15 + 15

Hören, Lesen, Schreiben, Sprechen — each worth fifteen raw points, one per item in the first three. There is no fraction and no half point anywhere in the paper.

× 1,66, KAUFMÄNNISCH GERUNDET

60 raw points become 100 Ergebnispunkte. That makes one raw point worth about 1,66 — so a careless double cross on the answer sheet is not a shrug, it is a visible number on the certificate. At A2 the whole exam — your a fee your centre sets — around €160–180 in Germany and Switzerland, your date, your months of course — turns on about a dozen such points.

NO SECTION FLOOR

Unlike Goethe A2 and öSD A2, telc A2 has no per-section minimum: the Prädikate table reads the total only. Lose Lesen completely and you can still pass — which is exactly why leaving a blank is indefensible here.

THE TELC DAY — WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS

  • —SCHRIFTLICH — EIN DURCHLAUF: Hören ca. 30 Min (ca. 10 Min Ton + Bearbeitung) → Lesen UND Schreiben in EINEM gemeinsamen Block von 50 Min → 10 Min Übertragen auf den Antwortbogen S30.
  • —Hören: Teil 1 (5 Ansagen) und Teil 3 (ein Gespräch) hören Sie ZWEIMAL, Teil 2 (5 Radio-Meldungen) nur EINMAL. Items 1–5 als +/–, 6–10 als a/b/c, 11–15 als Buchstaben a–i.
  • —Lesen: Teil 1 fünf Aufgaben gegen eine Informationstafel (a/b/c), Teil 2 ein Text mit Richtig/Falsch (6–10, mit Beispiel), Teil 3 Anzeigen a–h (11–15) — für genau eine Aufgabe gibt es keine Lösung, dort steht X.
  • —15 Rohpunkte pro Fertigkeit: Hören + Lesen + Schreiben = 45 schriftlich, mit Sprechen 60 Rohpunkte — × 1,66, kaufmännisch gerundet, maximal 100 Ergebnispunkte.
  • —Bestanden ab 60/100, also 36 von 60 Rohpunkten. KEINE Sektionshürde — die Prädikate-Tabelle liest die Gesamtpunktzahl. Nicht modular: telc Deutsch A2 kann nicht als Teilprüfung abgelegt werden.
  • —Antwortbogen: ein Kreuz pro Zeile. Zwei Kreuze in einer Zeile sind null, eine leere Zeile ist ein sicherer Punktverlust — es gibt keinen Abzug für falsche Antworten.

ALL FOUR PAPERS FOLLOW THIS EXACT SHAPE. 90 MINUTES OF WRITTEN PAPER IN ONE RUN — NO BREAK — THEN THE ORAL ON THE SAME DAY, IN PAIRS.

THE STANDARD TELC A2 BOOK — AND WHAT A BOOK CANNOT DO

THE BOOK

  • •Cornelsen's Prüfungstraining DaF — telc Deutsch A2 is a genuinely good book: 184 pages, one introductory Modelltest plus three further Modelltests, with audio, solutions and transcripts as a download. ISBN 978-3-06-121771-6 (2. Auflage 2022).
  • •telc's own free Übungstest 1 is the other honest reference — one paper, one attempt, a key at the back.

AND WHAT NO BOOK CAN DO

  • ×Put Lesen and Schreiben on ONE 50-minute clock. A book gives each part its own exercises, so the trade that decides the paper never happens in practice.
  • ×Time the transfer. Ten minutes on the S30 with 45 answers to copy is a skill — and it is only learned by doing it with a clock running.
  • ×Grade the five form gaps of Schreiben Teil 1 and tell you which one you lost. A printed key tells you the answer; it does not mark YOUR handwriting.
  • ×Take the × 1,66 arithmetic seriously: a book shows a key, not the Ergebnispunkte your paper would actually score — and not how close to 36 you really were.

THE GERMANIUM TELC A2 KIT

  • ✓Every task built to the official Übungstest 1 grid — items 1–5 against a board, the Richtig/Falsch block with its printed Beispiel, ads a–h with the one task that takes an X.
  • ✓The three blocks live in one countdown that locks at 0:00 and submits for you, exactly like the room.
  • ✓A 10-minute transfer drill after grading: your own answers, listed as they will have to stand on the Antwortbogen.
  • ✓Reasoning on every item, every transcript, the × 1,66 conversion, and the official S60 and M10 criteria instead of a vague rubric.

TELC ALREADY SELLS THIS PAPER DIGITALLY

Start Deutsch 2 is offered on paper and on screen. If your centre books the digital sitting, a printed book is the wrong rehearsal.

Here the Kreuz boxes click, the letters a–h are real buttons, the five numbered form gaps are typed into the form, the e-mail has a live word counter — and the second the 90 minutes run out the paper grades itself against the Ergebnispunkte arithmetic. Practice where you will perform.

WHO SITS TELC A2 — AND WHAT THIS KIT IS FOR

  • —Integration-course finishers stepping from A1 to A2 at a Volkshochschule or a telc centre — where the paper, not the level, is what people fail.
  • —Anyone whose employer, visa file or Anerkennung names "telc Deutsch A2" specifically. Goethe A2 is a different paper; prepping one does not sit the other.
  • —Candidates who have never once written 45 answers onto an Antwortbogen under a clock. That is a rehearsable skill and this kit rehearses it.

EXAM DAY — THE FOUR THINGS PEOPLE GET WRONG

  • —Lesen and Schreiben share one block. There is no bell between them, and the answer sheets are collected at the end of the block — a slow Lesen is taken out of your Schreiben.
  • —Hören Teil 2 is heard ONCE while Teil 1 and Teil 3 come twice. Five items with no second chance, and they are at the beginning of the audio, not the end.
  • —The transfer is inside the exam. Fifteen items per skill onto the S30, in ten minutes, with no rewrite allowed afterwards.
  • —Not modular. telc states plainly that A2 cannot be sat as a Teilprüfung: fail once and the fee, the date and the whole paper repeat. Sit the mocks first and the repeat never happens.

VERIFIED AGAINST — THE SOURCES BEHIND EVERY CLAIM HERE

The task types, play counts, point model, conversion and Prädikate in these four papers follow the official Übungstest 1 and telc's published information. The competitor book's spec was read from the publisher. Build checks compare every number on this page with the papers themselves — a claim that stops being true fails the build.

THE COMPLETE TELC A2 KIT

€9

One-time, yours on every device you sign in to. Four full telc A2 mocks, four solution books with the official conversion, five cheat sheets — against a fee your centre sets — around €160–180 in Germany and Switzerland and a paper that cannot be retaken in parts.

The course is paid, the date is booked, the certificate is already on your to-do list. What's €9 against sitting through all of it twice?

telc does not publish one worldwide price: every licensed centre sets its own, and it moves by country and date. Ask your centre what the sitting costs — then remember that this paper cannot be retaken in parts, so a repeat is the full fee again.

QUESTIONS PEOPLE ACTUALLY ASK BEFORE BUYING

  • What is the pass mark for telc A2?

    36 of the 60 raw points — telc multiplies the raw score by 1,66 and grades on the result, so 36 raw becomes 60 of 100 Ergebnispunkte. There is no per-section minimum: the Prädikate table reads the total only, which is exactly why leaving an answer blank on the Antwortbogen is indefensible here.

  • What makes the telc A2 paper different?

    The shared clock: Lesen and Schreiben run in ONE 50-minute block — no bell between them — followed by ten minutes to transfer all 45 answers onto the Antwortbogen S30, inside the exam. telc also states the exam cannot be sat as a Teilprüfung: fail once and the whole paper, fee and date repeat.

  • What exactly is in the kit?

    Four full Start Deutsch 2 mock papers — Hören with its once-heard Teil 2, Lesen with the Richtig/Falsch block and the ads a–h with their one X, the five-gap registration form and the 40-word message, the three-part oral — each with its own solution book (× 1,66 conversion, S60 and M10 criteria, complete transcripts), plus five telc-scoped cheat sheets. Interactive, graded with the official scaling.

  • Is this an official telc paper?

    No. These are Germanium's own mock papers calibrated to telc's published Übungstest 1 format — which is free on telc.net and worth doing. This kit is the additional rehearsal: four papers, reasoning on every item, and a clock that runs the 50-minute block and the transfer the way the room does.

  • Who sits telc A2?

    Integration-course finishers stepping up at a Volkshochschule or telc centre, and anyone whose employer or authority names telc Deutsch A2 specifically — Goethe A2 is a different paper, and prepping one does not sit the other.
