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?

- 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.
