Oral Exam Videos
Use these samples to check whether you understand what they say and to get an impression of what is required to pass the A1 exam. Open your sample exam on the page that says something like "Mündliche Prüfung" or "Sprechen Teil 1" and see how the examiners and participants in those videos follow the instructions in front of you.
There are several other videos on YouTube that will show up when you search for "German A1 oral exam" or even for the written part of the A1 exam. But I do NOT recommend those. The majority of them is really badly made and rather confusing than helpful. If you analyse those four videos above and have worked through this course, you will pass your exam easily.
A Heads Up
Retaking an exam could easily cost you 100 bucks, not counting the time and stress. So I would not save in the wrong place and rather get my hands on 2-3 of those additional test books. Each book contains 5-10 fresh sample exams.
Those preparation books often contain "tips" which you please ignore as they are mostly rubbish. Just use those books for their sample exams so you can practice what you have learned in this course.
