And answer the basic question “What role does familiarity with the exercises in the textbook play in preparing to take standardized tests and exams?” Here, based on the catalog of criteria with an analytical approach, a contrastive comparison is made between a standardized test called ÖSD B2 and the exercises in a textbook for Pre-Intermediate Sicher B2, and finally it will show whether the exercises in this textbook offer the necessary prerequisites for general preparation of To ensure that German learners take part in standardized German tests. The result is: Sicher B2 can be a suitable textbook to create relative preparation for taking the standardized ÖSD B2 exam, provided that teachers plan the effectiveness and improvement of learning outcomes by identifying deficits and using learning content, that are consistent with the test questions and tasks.
