Information about TestAS

TestAS is a central standardised scholastic aptitude test which measures intellectual abilities particularly important for university studies.
TestAS is intended for study applicants from non-EU countries planning to do undergraduate studies at German universities.

The benefits of TestAS

- The university can select the candidates who best fulfil the requirements for a subject.
- Test takers get to know the typical requirements of the subject they want to study.
- The TestAS result enables applicants to realistically assess their chances of successfully completing their studies at a German university.

TestAS is conducted in German and English. Upon registration, test takers select the language which they are most familiar with.

Structure of TestAS

- Language Screening: This language test measures general language skills in German or English. It takes about 30 minutes and consists of six texts. You are required to fill in the gaps online.

- Core Test: The Core Test measures cognitive abilities required for successful studies in all academic courses. It takes 103 minutes and consists of four subtests:
a) Solving Quantitative Problems

What is onDaF?

onDaF is the online placement test of German as a foreign language. This test has been developed by the TestDaF Institute. It is a specially constructed gap-filling test which operates exclusively via the Internet. You register online for the test, book a test date online, take the test at a licensed test centre under the supervision of the examination staff, and directly receive your result at the end of the test.

onDaF measures your general knowledge of the German language. If you have already learned a little German and simply would like to know how well you speak German, onDaF will give you a rapid result. If you would like to know which is the best language course for you or if you want to apply to the DAAD to study in Germany, onDaF will give you the reliable information that you need. In every case, you receive a certificate directly after the language test, which shows your result.
