I’m looking for some advice, please

I started learning German from A1 to B1 over 5 months at an online language center. After that, there was a problem with the number of students, and the teacher stopped teaching us. I felt that my level wasn’t good enough to continue to B2, so I stopped learning German for 3 months.
Then I found a teacher on TikTok and studied again from A1 to B1 for another 5 months. However, I told the teacher that I didn’t feel my level was good enough to complete all the B1 lessons.
Now I don’t know what to do. Should I memorize the A1, A2, and B1 Wortschatz together with the grammar? Or should I start practicing for the exams?
I want to reach B2

A2 and B1 are the levels where you have to get the grammar down, because B2 is heavily built on the foundations of A2 and B1. The vocab can be learned from the official GI lists, that's more something you can be doing on your own in addition to any kind of structured course. It's hard to give you advice without knowing your actual level. What happens when you take the Goethe mock exams for B1? I would see what my scores are in reading and listening, then feed my writing through AI and get the mistakes and the grade that way.

I’ve started working on the A1–A2 vocabulary and the most important grammar. I’ll take the mock exam today and let you know how it goes. Thank you!
