Want to find out if your German is already at B2 level? The Lingolou German B2 Test helps you quickly and reliably assess your actual language level – free, online, and without registration.
The test is based on the official B2 requirements of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) and shows you whether you can understand complex texts, formulate clear arguments, and express yourself fluently in everyday life and at work.
What does the German B2 Test check?
The Lingolou B2 Test was developed for learners who already have solid basic knowledge and now want to find out if they're ready for more demanding communication and exams. The test includes typical elements of B2 exams:
- B2 Vocabulary – abstract topics, work, society, media, technology
- B2 Grammar – connectors (obwohl, während, trotzdem), passive forms, complex subordinate clauses, subjunctive II
- B2 Reading comprehension – detailed articles, experience reports, comments, and news
- B2 Listening comprehension – longer audio recordings with natural dialogues and clear opinions
- B2 Sentence structure – longer, logically structured sentences with variable word order
This gives you a precise assessment of whether your level is really B2 or if you already master elements of C1.
