📘 B1 State Exam Preparation

📘 B1 State Exam Prep

Work toward the official Polish B1 exam over a full academic year (October 2026 - June 2027) - grammar, writing, speaking, and a full mock exam, with your teacher.

This course is for you if you've finished A2 or you're just starting B1, and you want a clear path to the state exam - not just general conversation practice.

Knowing Polish isn't the same as passing the exam

You need the B1 certificate for your documents, work, or studies in Poland? 📄
The exam has its own structure, task types, and scoring rules - separate from just "speaking Polish well."

Worried about paying exam fees more than once? 💸
Retaking the exam costs time and money. Preparing properly the first time is worth it.

Not sure what the examiners are actually looking for? 🎯
Your teacher builds the exam's structure and requirements into your B1 curriculum from the start, not tacked on at the end.

You don't need to already speak Polish at an advanced level to start. Over a full academic year, you'll work through the B1 curriculum with the exam requirements built in from day one - so when you're ready to register, you're ready to pass.

Who This Course Is For

This course is a good fit if:

  • you've finished the A2 course (or you're almost done with it)

  • you've started B1 and want to review the material with the exam in mind

  • you know your present, past, and future tenses, verb aspect, and the narzędnik, biernik, dopełniacz, and miejscownik cases

  • you need the B1 certificate for documents, work, or studies in Poland

  • you want a full academic year to prepare properly, rather than cramming close to the exam

You'll learn celownik and wołacz as part of the course - you don't need to know them going in.

What our students say

How the Course Works

📝 1. Fill out a short form

Tell us your availability, your experience with Polish so far, and what you're hoping to get out of the course.

📞 2. Book your free placement call

Based on your form, you'll be matched with a teacher who assesses your level together with you on a short call. No cost, no commitment yet.

👥 3. Get placed in the right group, then confirm and pay

Once you're placed in a group at your level, you confirm your spot and pay to register. You choose one semester (36 classes) or two (72 classes).

💻 4. Meet twice a week on Zoom

Semester 1 runs September 28th to February 2027. If you sign up for two semesters, Semester 2 follows straight after, running February to June/July 2027. Small groups mean real speaking time, not just listening.

✍️ 5. Build toward the exam step by step

Grammar, writing, and speaking, all built around the real exam requirements, with regular writing feedback and speaking practice every week.

What You'll Work On

Grammar

You'll review the tenses, aspect, and cases you already know, and add what's still missing for B1 - celownik and wołacz - with a focus on using them correctly, not just recognizing them.

Writing

You'll practice both short and long forms, with feedback on every text:
Short forms: invitation, announcement, greetings, wishes
Long forms: report, story, review, essay, characterization

Speaking

You'll practice the exact task types used in the exam:
describing a situation in a photo
a monologue on a given topic
a dialogue with the examiner

Mock exam

Toward the end of the year, you'll take a full mock exam covering all four parts - listening, reading, writing, and speaking - so exam day feels familiar, not overwhelming.
