In order to be able to pass the B1 exam you need to have a complete B1 level of Italian language knowledge. This means that you will have progressed into a B2 level when fully ready to take on the examination.
We advise all interested candidates to brush up on their Italian listening capabilities in the months or weeks leading up to the examination, as our experience has taught us that many candidates who do not have Italian speakers in their home lives greatly struggle with the listening section of the examination since they are not exposed to the fluency and pace with which Italians speak.
Watching Italian language movies with Italian subtitles, as well as conversing with Italian speakers and listening to Italian radio, may also help to pick up on the language and create more ease for you to bring into your examination to be as best prepared as possible.
