Back to the exampleFor Goethe & telc B2/C1 retakers
Submit a Schreiben task or record a Sprechen answer. Passwerk scores it against your exam's criteria and shows exactly which point cost you marks.
3 free submissions, then €19/month. Cancel anytime.
You can check a Lesen answer in seconds. A Beschwerdebrief or a three-minute monologue? Without a teacher, you find out on results day.
“I have no idea if my Beschwerdebrief would pass or if I'm fooling myself.”
“I failed Schreiben by 1.5 points because I wrote too few words.”
“I for sure can't just rant for 2.5 minutes about a certain topic.”
“I post my letters on Reddit and get three different opinions.”
“Need to pass C1 before August and only have 2 more attempts.”
Practice the way you'll be tested: same exam, same level, same Teil, same time pressure.
Choose Goethe or telc, B2 or C1, and the exact task, for example Goethe B2 Schreiben Teil 1 or telc C1 Sprechen Teil 1.
Paste or type your text, or record your spoken answer in the browser with a visible timer, just like in the exam room.
See your estimated points, how far you are from passing, and which criterion cost you: task points, word count, register, structure, or speaking length.
Rewrite the paragraph or re-record the answer and see if the score moves. Repeat until you're clearing the pass mark consistently.
Passwerk doesn't just correct grammar. It checks your answer against the structure of the specific exam, level and Teil you're taking.
Every submission gets an estimated point total next to the real pass mark, so you know whether you're 6 points short or comfortably through.
Record in the browser while a timer runs. Passwerk tells you how long you actually spoke, where you stalled, and whether you covered the topic points.
Passwerk lists every point the task asks for and checks your letter against each one, the kind of slip that turns a pass into a 1.5-point fail.
Each resubmission is tracked per Teil, so you can see whether your Schreiben and Sprechen scores are trending above the pass mark before you book.
Passwerk is for you if
You failed Schreiben or Sprechen by a few points
You know you're close. You need to see exactly which criterion is costing you before you pay for the retake.
You have a hard deadline
A job offer, university place or professional recognition depends on a B2 or C1 certificate by a fixed date.
You're preparing without a regular teacher
You study with Modellsätze on your own and need someone to mark the parts that don't have an answer key.
You're taking Goethe or telc at B2 or C1
Passwerk scores against these two exams and these two levels at launch.
It's probably not for you if
Both help. Neither tells you, quickly and cheaply, whether a specific answer would pass a specific exam.

They're estimates, not official results. Passwerk applies the published criteria for your exam and Teil, such as task points, word count, register and speaking length. Treat the score as a strong signal of where you're losing points, not a guarantee. If you're right on the pass line, assume you need more margin.
No. Passwerk is independent. It scores your answers against the structure and criteria of those exams, but it isn't endorsed by either organisation and can't issue certificates.
Yes. You pick the exam, level and Teil before submitting, and the task points, length targets and timing are checked for that specific format.
ChatGPT fixes grammar but doesn't tell you whether the answer would pass. Passwerk checks the things that cost points in the exam, like a missed task point, a short word count, the wrong register or a monologue that stops too early, and gives you a score.
You record your answer in the browser while a timer runs. Passwerk measures how long you actually spoke, flags long pauses and checks whether you covered the topic, then gives a predicted Sprechen score.
They're used only to score your submission and show your progress. You can delete any submission from your account.
You get 3 free submissions to try it. After that it's €19/month with unlimited submissions, and you can cancel anytime. Most people only need it for the weeks before their exam.
Submit your next letter or spoken answer and see your predicted score against the real pass mark. Your first 3 are free.
