Question 1

Can LanguageTool grade my German exam writing?

Accepted Answer

No. LanguageTool checks grammar, spelling and style, but it doesn't know TestDaF, DSH, Goethe or telc criteria and can't tell you if you'd pass. GermanExam.pro scores your text to the published exam criteria and gives you a realistic TDN/DSH level.

Question 2

What's the difference between a grammar checker and exam feedback?

Accepted Answer

A grammar checker like LanguageTool finds isolated mistakes. Exam feedback judges whether your text answers the task, stays coherent, uses C1 vocabulary and structures, and would actually pass — across all the criteria a real examiner uses.

Question 3

Is LanguageTool good for German?

Accepted Answer

LanguageTool is a solid German grammar and style checker for everyday writing. For C1 exam preparation it falls short: it won't score you, won't check task fulfillment, and won't tell you where you'd lose exam points.

Question 4

Can I use LanguageTool and GermanExam.pro together?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Use LanguageTool to tidy up grammar and typos, then use GermanExam.pro to find out whether your text would actually pass the exam and what to improve to get there.
