TESTDAF - German as a foreign language

In order to study in Germany, foreign students need proof of their existing German language skills. The TestDaF (German as a Foreign Language) tests the required language skills in four parts: Reading comprehension, listening comprehension, written and oral expression. Participation in the TestDaF is subject to a fee and takes about three hours.

The performance achieved is not assessed as "passed" or "failed", but is assigned to one of the following TestDaF levels:

  • TestDaF level 3 (TDN 3)
  • TestDaF level 4 (TDN 4)
  • TestDaF level 5 (TDN 5)


The examination sections are evaluated individually according to a level. After successful participation, participants receive a TestDaF certificate approximately six weeks after the examination. The certificate contains a placement in level 3, 4, or 5 for each part of the examination. In Germany, universities often require at least TDN 4 for each part of the examination. However, each university has its own admission regulations, about which applicants should inform themselves in advance.

Further information on the TestDaF and test dates can be found here. We also offer special training courses to prepare for the TestDaF exam.

TESTAS

TestAS is a central and standardized test for foreign students regarding their ability to take on university studies in Germany. The TestAS result provides information about where prospective foreign students stand in comparison to other applicants. A good test result can improve the chances of getting accepted to a university in Germany.
