If you have decided to take the TestDaF, you should already have a good knowledge of German. The TestDaF Institute recommends at least 700 German teaching units. It is better if you have already taken part in around 1,000 teaching units. As the TestDaF primarily tests knowledge of German for studying at a university in Germany, you should have good intermediate or even advanced knowledge. The main test is whether you can adequately receive science-language texts (reading or listening) and can participate in communication in courses and in everyday university life (writing and speaking). Your communicative competence is therefore more important than rendering z. B. grammatical rules and structures. It is important that you familiarize yourself with the format of the TestDaF. We offer many exercise options for this.
