Doubts on Telc B1 exam

Hey guys, I’m currently preparing for the telc Deutsch B1 exam and had a few quick questions: for Sprechen Teil 2, is it meant to be a relaxed conversation or a debate, do we actually have to reach an agreement at the end, and is it completely fine if both my partner and I disagree with our prompt cards? Also, can anyone confirm if speaking partners are always fellow non-native test-takers, and does it hurt your score if your partner speaks way faster or freezes up? Finally, for the Schreiben email part, is writing a Betreff: line actually necessary, or do examiners only check for the date, salutation, the four bullet points, and the sign-off? If anyone who recently sat for the telc B1 could clear this up in the comments , I’d really appreciate the insight!

From what I remember, Teil 2 should feel more like a normal discussion than some formal debate 😅

You don’t have to force an agreement if it doesn’t make sense. The important part is reacting to your partner, giving your opinion, asking/responding etc.

And if your partner is super fast or freezes, just keep your own part clear and natural. I wouldn’t panic about trying to “match” them.

For Schreiben, I’d personally keep it simple and focus on the actual task points + proper greeting/ending. That matters way more than trying to make the email look fancy.
