Goethe Institute A2 Exam pattern
Details of Goethe’s A2 exam
German A2 exam pattern is quite simple. As it’s a language, there are 4 modules- Reading,
Writing, Listening and Speaking. It is a 60 points exam and you have to score a minimum 36
points (60%) to pass the exam.
What does the Goethe A2 Exam cover?
The A2 exam consists of 4 modules or parts, 15 points each so total 60 points.
1. Listening (Hören)
2. Reading (Lesen)
3. Writing (Schreiben)
4. Speaking (Sprechen)
Note- Don’t forget to watch the videos on our You Tube channel. I have solved one Goethe
Institut A2 sample question paper for you. Read the blog first, this will make your understanding
better.
Let’s talk about these four modules in details now-
1. Listening (Hören) module – Time- 30 min, Points- 20
There are four parts (Teil) in the listening module.
Part 1 (5 dialogues, played twice) – 5 points for 5 questions – Multiple choice type.
Part 2 (1 dialogue, played once) – 5 points for 5 questions – match the pictures.
Part 3 (5 dialogues, played once) – 5 points for 5 questions – Multiple choice type.
Part 4 (1 dialogue, played twice) – 5 points for 5 questions – Yes/No (True/False)
Let’s see in detail-
Part 1 (Teil 1) – 5 points
This consists of 5 questions (1-5) and there will be 5 audios- dialogues. You’ll have a question
and there will be 3 options- A, B and C. All 5 audios are played twice. You get enough time to
understand the question and select your answer. If you listen carefully you can easily find the
answers. Make sure to read the question and options before the audio starts. See the image
below.
Here you listen to only one audio for all the 5 questions (6-10). This consists of 5 elements and 9
images. You have to listen to the audio and match images with the elements (for ex. Days with
the activities). One image will match with the example and the remaining images won’t have any
element to match with. The audio is mostly a conversation between two people and will be
played only once. In the sample question given below, you have to match the activities with the
days. In the image you see only 6 images but there will be 3 more below (a, b, …. upto i ).
Please note that the number ‘0’ is an example.
Part 3 (Teil 3) – 5 Points
You will get 5 questions (11 to 15) and 5 Audios here and again there will be A, B, C options to
every question. Here the options will be the images. You have to listen to the audio carefully and
select the answer. Every audio here is played only once.
Here you listen to only one audio (an interview) for all the 5 questions (16-20). This consists of 5
statements. You have to listen to the audio and decide if the statement is true (select-Yes) or false
(select – No). The audio is mostly a conversation/interview and will be played twice. Please note
that the number ‘0’ is an example.
2. Reading (Lesen) module of Goethe A2 exam- 30 mins, 20 Points
Again there are 4 parts of the reading module.
Part 1 (medium size text) – 5 points for 5 questions – Complete the statements
Part 2 (Shopping center info-board) – 5 points for 5 questions – a, b or c
Part 3 (read the Email) – 5 points for 5 questions of Multiple choice type- a, b or c
Here one text is given to read and there will be 5 incomplete statements with 3 options a, b and c.
You have to find out which option completes the statement correctly according to the text. You
can see the text in the image below and the questions below that.
Text-
Statements to complete-
In this part you will get one information Board of one shopping mall, where you can see on
which floor what things are available. You will get 5 requirements here, for example – you want
to drink coffee in that mall. There will be three options given- a. 1st Floor, b. Ground floor and c.
5th floor. You have to choose the correct option. Read the information board and find out where
you can get coffee to drink. ‘Beispiel’ or ‘0’ number question is an example in the image below.
Information board-
Questions-
Here you will get an email to read and there will be 5 incomplete statements (questions 11-15)
with 3 options a, b and c, similar to Teil 1. You have to find out which option completes the
statement correctly according to the email.
Email-
Statements-
In this part, you will get 5 requirements (question 16-20) from five different people in the
statement form and there will be 6 website screenshots. You have to read the information given
in the 6 website screenshots and match with the requirements. One website already matches with
the example. so 5 remaining screenshots are for five statements.

Websites-
3. Writing (Schreiben) module of Goethe A2 exam- 20 mins, 20 points
In the writing module, there are only 2 parts.
Part1 (write an SMS)
Part2 (Letter/ email writing)
Let’s see in detail.
Part 1 (Teil 1) – SMS writing
You have to write an SMS to your friend, colleague for someone from your family. Exact
situation will be given in the question. You have to understand and write an SMS accordingly.
Three points will also be mentioned in the question. Make sure to include all those points in your
SMS. Here you are not expected to write full sentences with proper grammar. It should be a short
SMS giving enough information. The maximum word limit will be 30.
Part 2 (Teil 2) – Email writing
You will get one topic to write a letter or an email. Mostly it will be a formal one. With the
topic, you also get three points which you have to include in the letter. Write around 6 to 7 lines
(around 40 words) on the given three points. As this is an email/ a letter, you are expected to
write grammatically correct sentences. Try using 2 to 3 A-2 grammar topics.
4. Speaking (Sprechen) module of Goethe German A2 exam-
15 min, 25 points
(Score minimum 15 points in speaking module to pass the exam)

In this part you will get a partner activity. You and your partner will get a separate calendar.
Your schedule will be already mentioned on the calendar. Now you will have one purpose to
