Getting a settlement permit, citizenship, a family visa or a nursing job? See which exam you need.
Unofficial preparation, not affiliated with Goethe-Institut, telc, g.a.s.t. or BAMF.
Four exams from A1 to B2. Feedback in 12 languages. An AI examiner that marks against the official criteria. Voice recordings leave your device only when you ask for feedback.
The AI chooses a rating band for each criterion, and our server counts the points by the official rules. How the examiner marks
What do you need German for?
Pick your goal to see the exam behind it: the parts, the timing and what counts as a pass.
For most people this is not a hobby. It is a letter from the Ausländerbehörde with a deadline, a partner waiting for a visa, a nursing job that starts once the certificate arrives, or a passport application that needs B1 first.

Find your starting point
A short placement test shows where you stand and where to start.
Get your plan
Daily practice sized to the weeks left before your exam date.
Practice every part
Hören, Lesen, Schreiben and Sprechen, in the real exam format.
Sit the full mock
Timed like the real day, with a full report on every part.
Marked like the real exam.
Write a letter or record an answer. The examiner scores it with the same criteria the DTZ handbook uses, then shows you what to fix.
Each of the four DTZ criteria is scored on its own: Aufgabenbewältigung, Kommunikative Gestaltung, Korrektheit and Wortschatz, five points each. Your most important mistakes come with the fix and a short explanation, and every score with the reason for it, all in your language.
Scores are marked as an AI estimate. They show how close you are, not what the exam will decide.
How the examiner marksTry one question.
A listening item in the style of DTZ Hören, Teil 1. Made by us, like every question in the app. Listen, then pick an answer.
You can answer with the keyboard: Tab to an option, then press Enter.

Questions, answered.
Short answers about the app, the examiner and prices.
When does Zielor launch?
We are building it now, for iPhone, iPad and the web. Join the waitlist and we will email you once, on launch day.
Is Zielor official?
No. Zielor is independent preparation. It is not affiliated with Goethe-Institut, telc, g.a.s.t. or BAMF, and it cannot issue certificates. You still register and sit the exam at a test centre.
Which exams and levels are covered?
DTZ, Leben in Deutschland and the Einbürgerungstest, Goethe and telc, from A1 to B2.
How accurate is the AI examiner?
It marks against the official criteria of each exam part. The AI model chooses a rating band for each criterion, and our server counts the points by the official rules. Letters are marked by Claude, a model by Anthropic, and recordings by Gemini, a model by Google.
It can still be wrong, so every score is shown as an estimate. Use it to find what to practise, not to predict your result.
What happens to my recordings?
They stay on your device unless you ask the AI examiner for feedback. Then the recording goes to our server and from there through OpenRouter in the USA to Gemini, an AI model by Google. Gemini writes down what you said and rates your answer.
We delete the recording from our server as soon as the grading ends, within about 2 hours at the latest, and we do not use it to train AI models. The transcript and the feedback stay in your account.
Which languages is feedback in?
Explanations come in 12 languages. The exam content itself always stays in German.
Is the price per exam or per month?
Per period. Every plan includes all exams, so you pay for time, not for a single test. Quarterly covers a typical 13 week preparation.
Will I be reminded before renewal?
Yes. We remind you 3 days before any renewal. You can cancel in two taps in your App Store settings if you subscribed in the app, or in your account on the web if you subscribed there.
What happens after my exam?
Cancel when you are done and your plan runs until the end of the period you paid for. If you have another exam ahead, like B1 and then the Einbürgerungstest, keep going.
Is there an Android app?
Android is coming soon. Until then, the web version works in any modern browser.
Can I cancel?
Anytime, with no cancellation fee. Cancel in your App Store settings if you subscribed in the app, or in your account on the web if you subscribed there.
One date on your calendar. One plan that gets you there.
Join the waitlist and we will email you once, on launch day.
