3.1. TestDaF in Berlin
Both tests are difficult in their own way, but solvable, lucky you! The most important feature is that the TestDaF exam is perceived as easier by some candidates. Careful! But unlike the telc exam, you have to pass all (!) Parts of the exam, i.e. the complete TestDaF exam, in order to get the C1 level confirmed, for example. We explain which parts of the exam there are on our information page on exam preparation.
The TestDaF exam tests language knowledge and skills at different levels and can therefore also provide different results on the certificate:
TestDaF-level 3 (TDN 3) = B2.1 – B2.2
TestDaF-level 4 (TDN 4) = B2.3 – C1.1 (most desirable)
TestDaF-level 5 (TDN 5) = C1.2 – C1.3
What Can The Certificate Say?
The result of the TestDaF exam is at best stated as 4x TestDaF level 4 (TDN 4) “passed”, i.e. reading, listening comprehension, written and oral expression. If you only achieve TDN 3 in one part, but need 4x TDN 4 for the university, you have to repeat the entire test. TDN 3 would not be sufficient in this case, even if you have reached TDN 4 in the other three parts. A good tip: Some universities equalize TDN 3 with TDN 5 if you have different results in the four parts.
