If her English is not so good maybe go for A1 for reassurance. My wife was the only one doing B1 level on the day of her test.

Check online for mock tests to see how your wife does.
What did your wife think of the B2 test...easy or hard? Also what kind of things are they marking her on can you remember? Is it just being able to read p, understand and reply or is it more detailed and look at grammar? My wife's English is excellent but sometimes she gets hers tenses wrong when writing.
