Can I retake the GOETHE B1?
Yes, it is absolutely possible to retake the GOETHE B1 as many times as you wish. There is no mandatory waiting period between attempts, although the organization recommends allowing some time to improve.
Retaking a specific module
The GOETHE B1 is structured into four independent modules (Reading Comprehension, Listening Comprehension, Writing, Speaking). If you fail only one module, you do not have to retake the entire exam: you can retake only the module(s) you did not pass.
The results obtained in the passed modules are valid for one year. You therefore have 12 months to pass all four modules and obtain the full certificate.
How much does a retake cost?
The cost of a retake varies depending on the exam center and country. In France, the full exam costs about €195. You will need to pay the registration fees again for each attempt, whether it is for a single module or the full exam.
Tips before retaking
To maximize your chances, it is recommended to prepare well between attempts: practice the specific types of tests for the modules you need to retake, and familiarize yourself with the exam format.
