One of the major advantages of TestDaF is its clear exam schedule. Exam dates, registration deadlines and result publication dates are announced well in advance, allowing you to plan your preparation effectively. Below is the 2027 TestDaF digital exam schedule*:

We deliberately include only the schedule for the digital version of TestDaF, as these exams are held more frequently and results are usually available approximately three weeks after the exam.
When is the best time to take TestDaF?
If you are planning to submit your university applications by 15 July 2027, it is best not to leave TestDaF until the last minute. For example, taking the exam in April 2027 gives you enough time to receive your results and, if necessary, register for and retake TestDaF before the application period begins.
Why is this important?
- You will have time to analyse your mistakes;
- You can work on your weaker areas;
- You can prepare for a second attempt without unnecessary pressure;
- If you achieve the required result, you will still have enough time to prepare your application documents.
It is also worth remembering that places at some test centres fill up very quickly. That is why we recommend registering well in advance.
Where can you find preparation materials for the digital TestDaF?
To prepare for the digital TestDaF, you can use our video courses and mock exams. They will help you become familiar with the exam format, practise and assess your current level.
We wish you successful preparation and excellent results on your first attempt!
