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.
