Key Aspects of the Test­DaF

Pur­po­se

The main pur­po­se of the Test­DaF is to as­sess the Ger­man lan­guage pro­fi­ci­en­cy of non-​native spe­a­kers. It is often a re­qui­re­ment for ad­mis­si­on to Ger­man uni­ver­si­ties and col­leges.

Struc­tu­re

The test con­sists of four sec­tions: Lis­te­ning, Rea­ding, Wri­ting, and Spea­king. Each sec­tion as­ses­ses dif­fe­rent lan­guage com­pe­ten­ci­es.

Sec­tions

  • Lis­te­ning: Mea­su­res the abi­li­ty to un­der­stand spo­ken Ger­man in va­rious con­texts such as lec­tu­res and con­ver­sa­ti­ons.
  • Rea­ding: Tests the un­der­stan­ding of writ­ten Ger­man, in­clu­ding texts from aca­de­mic and ever­y­day con­texts.
  • Wri­ting: Re­qui­res test-​takers to ex­press them­sel­ves in wri­ting, often in the form of es­says or re­ports.
  • Spea­king: Eva­lua­tes the abi­li­ty to com­mu­ni­ca­te ver­bal­ly in Ger­man through dis­cus­sions and pre­sen­ta­ti­ons.

Scoring

Test­DaF is scored on a three-​level scale: TDN 3 (Test­DaF Level 3) to TDN 5 (Test­DaF Level 5). Each sec­tion is scored in­di­vi­du­al­ly, and the final re­sult is an average of the scores.

Test cent­re

The Test­DaF is con­duc­ted by test cen­ters such as the Cam­bridge In­sti­tut Mu­nich. Can­di­da­tes can re­gis­ter via the of­fi­ci­al Test­DaF web­site.

Pre­pa­ra­ti­on

We offer va­rious Ger­man cour­ses, day­ti­me or evening, in­ten­si­ve or semi-​intensive pre­pa­ring you for Test­DaF at va­rious le­vels

Va­li­di­ty

The Test­DaF cer­ti­fi­ca­te is ty­pi­cal­ly valid for two years, re­flec­ting the test-​taker's lan­guage pro­fi­ci­en­cy at the time of the test.

Re­co­gni­ti­on

Many Ger­man uni­ver­si­ties re­cogni­se Test­DaF as evi­den­ce of lan­guage pro­fi­ci­en­cy for ad­mis­si­on pur­po­ses.
