You probably already know that Germans are fans of paperwork, right? Everything has to be confirmed, certified, nothing missed. There’s a specific signature, a specific stamp for everything. But which piece of paper should prove your German language proficiency? What exams do you need to take and how to take them to get into a German university? When to start, how to prepare? Why are different certificates of the same level not equally accepted during admission? To help you better understand the system of international exams, I will explain:

  • what international German language exams exist (Goethe-Zertifikat, telc, ÖSD, TestDaF, TestAS),
  • where and how to take them,
  • how to register,
  • why they are needed,
  • how to best prepare for the exams.
