Kursus Persiapan TESTDAF Germany A1-C2 Language

The TestDaF (Test Deutsch als Fremdsprache) fee varies depending on the country and official test center where you register. This fee is set by the TestDaF-Institut in Germany and then converted to local currency by each test center, which may also add local administrative fees. For the most accurate and up-to-date TestDaF registration fees in Indonesia, you are advised to visit the official TestDaF website (www.testdaf.de) or contact an official TestDaF test center in Indonesia directly (usually Goethe-Institut or a designated German language institution). Fee information is usually available when the registration period opens.

The TestDaF test in Indonesia is administered at official test centers that have obtained a license from the TestDaF-Institut. The main locations for test administration are typically:Goethe-Institut: Branches of the Goethe-Institut in major cities such as Jakarta, Bandung, and Surabaya.Partner Educational Institutions or Universities: Some universities or other German language educational institutions that collaborate with the Goethe-Institut or TestDaF-Institut may also serve as test centers.A complete list of official TestDaF test centers worldwide, including in Indonesia, can be found through the test center search feature on the official TestDaF website.

TestDaF is administered several times a year on dates set globally by the TestDaF-Institut. Typically, about six TestDaF exam dates are offered per year. However, not all test centers worldwide (including in Indonesia) offer all of these exam dates. The TestDaF exam schedule for the upcoming year is usually announced on the official TestDaF website. Each local test center will announce which dates they will administer along with their registration periods. It is important to check the schedule at your target test center and register as early as possible as spots are limited.

Your TestDaF test result certificate is valid indefinitely (unbegrenzt gültig). The TestDaF-Institut does not set an expiration date for its certificates. However, although the certificate itself does not expire, some universities or institutions in Germany may have preferences or internal policies regarding the age limit of the certificate they accept, especially if there has been a very long gap since you took the test. They may want to ensure that your German language proficiency is still at the same level. Therefore, it is advisable to check the specific requirements of the university or program you are applying to.

TestDaF is a German language test for academic purposes and measures language proficiency at upper-intermediate to advanced levels. Test results are not given as an overall “pass” or “fail”; instead, you will receive a separate score for each of the four test sections. The score for each section is expressed in one of three TestDaF levels:TestDaF-Niveaustufe 5 (TDN 5): The highest level, indicating very good German language proficiency, equivalent to CEFR level C1.2-C2.1.TestDaF-Niveaustufe 4 (TDN 4): Upper intermediate level, indicating solid and adequate language proficiency for studying at most German universities, equivalent to CEFR level B2.2-C1.1. This is the level most frequently required by universities in Germany.TestDaF-Niveaustufe 3 (TDN 3): Intermediate level, indicating basic German language proficiency that may require further improvement for academic study, equivalent to CEFR level B2.1. Some universities may accept TDN 3 for certain programs or with the condition of taking additional language courses.If your score is below TDN 3 (unter TDN 3 / U3), it means your proficiency has not reached the minimum level measured by TestDaF.

TestDaF tests four language skills essential for studying in a German-speaking academic environment:Leseverstehen (Reading Comprehension): Tests the ability to understand various types of academic texts, such as journal articles, excerpts from textbooks, or university announcements.Hörverstehen (Listening Comprehension): Tests the ability to understand spoken German in an academic context, such as dialogues between students, interviews with professors, or lecture excerpts.Schriftlicher Ausdruck (Written Production): Tests the ability to write a structured and coherent argumentative text on a specific topic, often based on graphical data or short excerpts.Mündlicher Ausdruck (Oral Production): Tests the ability to speak and respond orally in various simulated situations relevant to university life, such as discussing, expressing opinions, or summarizing information. This section is recorded and scored later.

Having a TestDaF certificate with adequate scores (usually at least TDN 4 in all sections) provides crucial benefits:University Admission Requirement in Germany: TestDaF is one of the most widely recognized and accepted proofs of German language proficiency by almost all universities and higher education institutions in Germany for German-taught study programs. Achieving a TDN 4 score in all sections generally meets the language requirements for most Bachelor’s and Master’s programs.Internationally Recognized Standard: A TestDaF certificate is globally recognized as proof of advanced academic German language ability.Preparation for Academic Study: The test format and task types in TestDaF are designed to reflect the language demands of university lectures in Germany, so preparing for this test also helps you prepare for actual studies.No Need for Additional University Language Tests: If you already have a TestDaF certificate with the required score, you usually don’t need to take the internal language test (DSH – Deutsche Sprachprüfung für den Hochschulzugang) administered by individual universities.Scholarship and Research Opportunities: Some scholarship programs or research positions in Germany may also require proof of German language proficiency like TestDaF.
