Where marks are lost in ÖSD Zertifikat B1
ÖSD B1 is modular — you can retake a single failed module. But that also means each module is judged on its own: strength in one does not offset weakness in another.
The three-minute presentation
Three minutes of connected, structured speech. That is far longer than it sounds if you have never practised it.
Writing in 60 minutes
More time than other exams — the common mistake is writing without a plan and then missing compulsory points.
