The TestDAF Exam

Since TestDAF is an exam that qualifies you for university studies in Germany, all exam tasks, audios, and texts, are related to science and research topics, everyday life at German universities, or student life in Germany. The tests may relate to specific areas; however, you, as the exam participant, do not need specialized knowledge to solve the exercises.

The structure of a TestDAF is always the same. It begins with the first part of the exam, «reading comprehension», followed by the second part, «listening comprehension». There is then a short break, followed by the final two parts, «writing» and «speaking».

All tests are taken on a computer. In the "speaking" part, you listen through a speaker or headphones and answer through a microphone. Your answers will be recorded. This means that no conversation takes place with an examiner.
