The VHS paper. Rehearsed end to end.
Three complete Start Deutsch 1 mock papers in the telc format — including the 45-minute Lesen + Schreiben block and the answer-sheet transfer that only the telc paper has — each with its own solution book, plus five cheat sheets on the grammar the paper grades.
THE FINANCIAL & TIME STAKES OF TELC A1
The Start Deutsch 1 exam seat costs around €100–150 (centre-set; typical VHS ~€120). Fail it once — and the next seat costs another around €100–150 (centre-set; typical VHS ~€120).
At A1, the most failed element is never grammar you didn't know — it's the time constraints and the unfamiliar exam format. Sit the format three times under authentic timed conditions before risking around €100–150 (centre-set; typical VHS ~€120).

How is the telc A1 paper different from the Goethe A1 paper?
The certificate is the same Start Deutsch 1 exam, but telc runs it its own way: Hören, Lesen and Schreiben are sat in one 75-minute rhythm with Lesen and Schreiben sharing a single 45-minute block, and after the block you get ten minutes to transfer every answer onto the machine-readable Antwortbogen — that transfer is part of the exam. telc then scales your raw score (max 45) by 1,66 and grades on the result: 60 of 100 is the pass.
What score do I need to pass telc A1?
60 of 100 Ergebnispunkte — 36 of the 60 raw points after the × 1,66 scaling. There is no per-section minimum at A1, so a strong section can carry a weak one; but a blank on the answer sheet earns nothing, so nothing should stay blank. The official Prädikate bands (sehr gut down to teilgenommen) are printed on the result sheet.
What exactly is in the kit?
Three full telc A1 mock papers — Hören, Lesen, Schreiben and Sprechen in the official grid, including the shared 45-minute block and the Antwortbogen transfer — each with its own solution book and complete transcripts, plus five grammar cheat sheets placed where telc tests them. Everything is interactive and graded against the official scaling.
Is this an official telc paper?
No. These are Germanium's own mock papers calibrated to telc's published format — telc's Übungstest 1 is free on telc.net and worth doing. This kit is the additional rehearsal: more papers, worked reasoning on every item, and a clock that runs the transfer the way the room does.
Who takes telc A1?
Integration-course finishers and anyone booked at a Volkshochschule or licensed telc centre — in Germany the telc edition of Start Deutsch 1 is the default sitting. Spouse-visa candidates also sit it when their process accepts telc.
