Context

The three parts look neatly separated. In the exam experience, they connect: listen, sort, write, hand over.

BLÄK usually describes the exam as 60 minutes with three equal parts.

The exam part in sequence

The three parts test the same situation through three language perspectives: patient, written record, colleague.

  • Part 1: doctor-patient conversation, usually 20 minutes in Bavaria.
  • Part 2: written documentation, usually 20 minutes in Bavaria.
  • Part 3: doctor-doctor conversation, usually 20 minutes in Bavaria.

Do not practise it in isolation

The official structure becomes real exam preparation only through repeated language action.

  • Simulate all three parts in sequence instead of practising them separately without case context.
  • Set a real time box for each part and review language, structure, and register afterwards.

From part to full mock exam

Mock exam mode mirrors this chain so you can practise switching between speaking and writing.
