TestDAf best exam for university and its not so hard if you like scientific and technical stuff

[@maratjuldashev7994]

You literally have every single aspect of studying in Germany covered on your channel, thank you!!

Thanks Buddy.Getting prepared by watching your videos everyday.Wish you a great life ahead.

[@ねえ聞いてよ]

Thank you so much for this video!! I was asking all my friends this question for a while now. And I was feelin a bit disappointed and lost with no direction to find which test is best for me. Then my favorite KZbinr comes out with a video like this and this was actually amazing. This just what I needed!! TYSM!!!

[@清水桜花-p8w]

very informative, as a native german I was not aware about all these options. I think goethe might be the best, because it stays for ever. Anyway I might send it a japanese friend that was considering studying in german. He is very smart and I was very suprised about his intrest in languages, even tho he is a engineering student

[@materesz6090]

As a TestDAF taker I chose the TestDAF because on the DAAD website it said(at least when I decided on the respective exam like half a year ago) that from the Goethe exam the C2 level is required. Now I don’t know why that is, but that was the deciding factor for me.

[@aronnador676]

Ich würde noch Telc empfehlen. Telc hat auch 3 verschiedene Kategories aus C1: Allgemein, Beruf, Hochschule. In der Nähe von mir alle die Sprachschulen lehren Telc. Die mündliche Prüfung ist ein bisschen anders, weil man mit jemandem anderen zusammen im Dialog fertigmachen muss. Aber wenn du hast ein Kumpel, kannst du auswählen, dass du mit ihm zusammen möchtest. Natürlich das muss man schon während der Prüfunganmeldung melden.

[@philipohmes9395]

I took the Goethe Institute exams at the Akademie Klausenhof in Rhede, Germany years ago. My thinking at the time was, if you are going to invest in learning or bettering your foreign language skills...it is best to do so at a recognized institution of higher education, approved by the Education Ministry of the country whose language you are learning. This is also true even if you earned a degree at another university in foreign languages studies program. There is no great debate of educational proficiencies.

Hey, could u maybe bring up a video for aufnahme prufung? Like what resources to be used, how much prep , and other necessary information.

[@pedrocavalcante5822]

I took both tests and found DaF much more difficult than Goethe.

[@GGreenschpoun]

Hello dear Max, I’m currently learning in an intensive program for German and on level B2. The school I’m in is preparing us for the Telc Prüfung, is it any different?

[@egemenulker]

I'm going to study linguistics, and there's no mandatory German exam. English seems to be mandatory. I don't need to take the German exam, do I? there is no mandatory German language on the site I am looking at on the section.

[@TyranTube]

My advice is to always be special So if all applicants didn't provide German language certificate but you did, this is a good plus for you

[@egemenulker]

@@TyranTube you are right thanks

Hi Max, I am Utkarsh and i want to apply for a bachelor's course in game designing in Germany. Can i show them the game that i made.... it's now published on Playstore and have over a 100K downloads. Or it would be considered unprofessional ?? Also what you think will be better to increase my chances in my addmission. 2) Average Score in highschool and Semester results + A professional Portfolio + A CV consisting of my 10-15++ project experience with different software and coding langauges. 1) Excellent CGPA + Basic Experience + Wasted other time studying for good grades.

es gibt noch ein Test „telc „.und telc c1 Hochschule ist für Hochschule (uni)

[@theultimatepigeon1821]

hi i wanted to ask you this questions, when i look through top unis like TUM, LMU, university of heildelberg they ask for c2 level not c1 like you mentioned, is that the case or am i mistaken about something?

[@maxyoko]

It's usually the case that they accept Goethe C2 (and not C1) But the other certificates like telc, DSH, TestDaF should be C1

[@maipled]

is it possible to reach german B1-B2 in a year with german classes + watching everything in german? or is a year not enough? usually how much time does it take to reach these levels with german classes and german films etc etc

[@hu3_doggyn705]

Its possible, depends on many factors like the intensivity of your course and your dedication towards learning the language.

[@bingchilling4717]

@@maipled I did in about a year and a half maybe. I reached a TDN 4 in testdaf which is a bit higher than B2. B1 is 100% possible in a year. I didn't even work that hard I just listened to a lot of yt videos in German about science and technology and did a few essays that were reviewed by my teacher. I recommend you to work more on speaking and writing since that was the hardest part for me, I got a TDN 5 in reading at testdaf

[@maxyoko]

If you have proper guidance (e.g. language course) and put in a lot of hours, you can definitely reach B2 in a year. B1 is very much possible with a more relaxed study schedule Next Saturday I'll release a video about how long it takes to study each German-level

[@NehaSingh-in8uo]

@@bingchilling4717 did you take any course? Or was learning by yourself?

[@bingchilling4717]

@@NehaSingh-in8uo I worked with a private teacher 1 to 1. At the start we worked and finished a A1.1 and A1.2 notebook and my teacher also showed me more grammar. After that we only did A2, B1, B2 tests from Goethe, telc and later testdaf tests. I couldn't afford to finish the A2, B1 and B2 notebooks since the time was limited

[@zusszisszass]

May I know, are we need to learn avery sigle subject in German universities using German language or there are plenty of it we learn using english??

[@maxyoko]

It depends on the degree program. If your degree is German-taught, most classes will be in German But in computer science, the programming is done in English for sure

[@krikka_makeitup]

People, who have already passed TestDAF, could you tell more about your experience ?

[@a.fitere7718]

I took TestDaF in 2021 towards the end of a C1 language course which prepared us for Göthe C1. In the language course, we just worked through the EM Neu C1 language book by Hueber. Parallelly, I worked through the Test-DaF training book by Klaus Lodewick. It felt a bit overwhelming at first, but once I got used to the format and types of questions, it was fine. The good thing is that especially for the written and speaking parts, you can create a list of phrases and sentence structures to use and then just adjust it to the topic in the actual exam. I probably watched all KZbin videos available at that time about the test, but the most helpful were definitely ones by Dr Deutsch - I took his advice to heart (especially about the oral part) and ended up doing well enough on the test (4-5-5-5). So I‘d say if you have the underlying language skills for B2/C1 and you work with a book like TestDaF-Training and videos by Dr Deutsch, you should be fine. I stopped studying once I felt like passing the practice tests in the book and ones I found online was not a big challenge. I took the actual exam in a different language school in a different city. Overall, it wasn‘t harder than the practice exams I did at home. What I would say is that the listening comprehension was much more niche than I expected - it was something about different strategies of plants to protect themselves against their harsh environments. The writing part was easier than expected - I think the topic was whether pupils in school should be evaluated by grades. Don‘t remember the reading part, but the speaking part was pretty standard. The more difficult „conversations“ were not harder than the ones from the practice tests. One thing I‘ll say is that I completely messed up the times, I think I even went 10 seconds over the bell and was so nervous and thought I‘d get a reduction for that but it ended up being no big deal. I hope I could help you and I wish you a lot of success with your learning! Edit: What I didn‘t know before taking it was how the speaking part was going to look like logistically. But you basically sit at a computer with a huge headset on and they record your answers. It‘s just one big voice recording so they also capture the pauses inbetween sections where you listen to the questions. That‘s why also if you go over the given time, the recording won‘t cut you off. The annoying thing was that all test-takers did the task simultaneously, so despite the giant headphones, we still heard each other talking.

[@santiagoromero741]

Why is it that some German universities (e.g. TUM) require a certificate of C2 for the Goethe Exam in order to study many degrees there, but just a 4 TDN in the TestDaf?

[@UmairAli-rt2dd]

I observed same why they are demanding last level in German while in many other universities B2 is enough

[@maxyoko]

Some universities don't accept the lower Goethe exams because Goethe is not specifically designed for university studies. It's more of a general language exam But TestDaF TDN 4 means C1 so, you should be good with that

[@demamine1820]

Cause Goethe C1 is super broad and does not examine whether you’re fit for studying honestly. Bullshit and boring writing subjects too..

[@abduefahad19]

What about ECL certificates. Will university accept this certificate for masters program

[@theShejin]

As someone who has B1, B2 Goethe certificates and Testdaf 4x4- i would say that TestDaF is the hardest German exam that i have ever faced. Fortunately for students in Germany- you could do DSH exam which is cheaper and way easier. Testdaf will ruin you😢
