telc Deutsch C2 - exam: Description

The exam consists of two parts: a written and an oral part.

The written examination consists of the reading, writing and listening sections and lasts 230 minutes with a 20-minute break.

The oral examination lasts approx. 15 minutes and is an individual examination.

If you achieve 60% of the maximum achievable score, you will receive a certificate attesting to your language skills at level C2. If you achieve less than 60% of the points in one of the two parts (written or oral), the examination is deemed to have been failed or only partially passed and you will receive a score sheet.
