TestDaF (German Language)

TestDaF measures German proficiency for academic study, especially at universities in German-speaking countries. Its four sections are Reading, Listening, Writing, and Speaking.

TestDaF reports results as TestDaF levels TDN 3, TDN 4, and TDN 5. It does not use the A1-to-C2 scale as its primary score system, even though the levels can be related broadly to the CEFR.

No. TestDaF is a German-language examination. The test tasks assess whether a student can understand and produce German in academic situations.

They take it as recognized evidence of German ability for university applications and other academic purposes. The required result depends on the institution and study program, so applicants should check the university’s admission rules.
