<br />
If you are planning to apply to a German University, chances are you have been asked to submit a proof of language proficiency and has you wondering which of the two more famous options to opt for. There is obviously the TestDAF – a standard examination conducted across various centres across countries and the DSH examination offered by the University applied to. While both of the examinations are essentially a test of your understanding of the language and the ability of express yourself in German – both in writing as well as orally, the structures vary slightly. Even the grading is different across the two and like any comparative, both the examinations have its merits and demerits. So before you decide which of the two is more suited to you, here’s a quick review of the two to help you decide.<br />

You are asked to respond in various university situations: e.g. take part in adiscussion with fellow students, describe a diagram during a tutorial, state your opinion on a particular topic, form hypotheses. The tasks in the subtest Oral Production are CD- or cassette-based. You can follow them simultaneously in your examination booklet. Your responses are recorded on a second CD or cassette.<br />

<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>Who can take the TestDaF? </b><br />
<br />
 Intermediate to advanced learners of German who wish to obtain a differentiated assessment of their language skills.<br />
<br />
 Applicants for a place at a German university.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://studyabroad.shiksha.com/mediadata/images/articles/student-life5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://studyabroad.shiksha.com/mediadata/images/articles/student-life5.jpg" width="320" /></a> People requiring internationally recognised evidence of their knowledge of German for their further academic or professional career at home or abroad.<br />
If you have started learning German only recently, it is advisable to wait until you have reached an intermediate level before registering for the examination. You can do an online placement test on the TestDaF Institute website to find out if you are already Fit for the TestDaF. It only takes ten minutes to complete and will give you a rough idea of your level.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>What are the TestDaF’s advantages? </b><br />
<br />
 All German universities recognise the TestDaF certificate. With a score of TDN 4 in all four subtests you will be able to get admission to an academic degree course, provided that the university of your choice accepts the other elements of your application. Admission for candidates whose<br />
scores are below TDN 4 is at the discretion of individual universities, depending on factors such as the course subject, type of degree awarded and course duration.<br />
<br />
 The TestDaF assesses the language skills necessary for study in Germany. The content and tasks of TestDaF are all related to academic, scientific and study-relevant topics. <br />
<br />
 The TestDaF assesses the four language skills separately (Reading Comprehension, Listening Comprehension, Written Production, Oral Production). The certificate shows four separate results, giving you a clear picture of your strengths and weaknesses in each skill.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.inlingua.edu.sg/images/default-source/Exam-Preparatory-Courses/testdaf.jpg?sfvrsn=2" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="192" src="http://www.inlingua.edu.sg/images/default-source/Exam-Preparatory-Courses/testdaf.jpg?sfvrsn=2" width="320" /></a> You can sit the TestDaF in your home country and your certificate is sent directly to you. You no longer have to travel to Germany to sit a language test. This allows you to gather all the documents you need for your university application before travelling to Germany, saving you time and money. <br />
<br />
 The TestDaF allows you to focus on specific preparation. To get to know the structure of the test you can work on the model tests, which you can find on our websites (Modellsätze), and on the sample tests authorised by the TestDaF Institute (Musterprüfungen). Moreover, the subtests are al-<br />
ways at the same level of difficulty, regardless of when you sit the examination.<br />
<br />
 The TestDaF Institute operates a world-wide network of licensed Test Centres whose staff will be glad to provide you with further information and advice on the test. DAAD lecturers, Goethe Institutes, language centres and university departments of German studies or German embassies<br />
and consulates can also provide you with information.<br />
<br />
 The TestDaF certificate is valid for an unlimited period of time.<br />
<br />
 You can resit the examination as often as you wish if you are not satisfied with your result.<br />

Should you reach at least TDN 4 in each subtest, nothing
stands in the way of your studies in Germany as far as language is concerned
(naturally the remaining academic and legal requirements must also be met). A score of
TDN 5 shows that you have a very good knowledge of German, above that required at
the beginning of your studies.</div>

Since every university in Germany has its own admissions
policy, it is at the discretion of individual universities to admit applicants whose
scores are below TDN 4 to courses of study. Please find out which TestDaF results are
required by the university and/or in the subject of your choice prior to making your
application. Some universities include such information on their websites. You can
