B permit: oral A1, nothing written. C permit: usually oral A2 and written A1. Early C permit and naturalisation: oral B1 and written A2. Cantons may ask for more.

A speaking simulation is a real conversation with an AI examiner and costs us money every time it runs. So: 3 full simulations (19 min) and 6 short ones (7 min) a day. The exam simulation contains a full speaking part and therefore counts as a full simulation. Reading, listening, writing, the exam modules and all your reports are unlimited. With exceptionally heavy use across the 6 months we pause only the full simulations and tell you so politely — everything else stays open, and we will open that back up on request too.
