Deutsch lernen: Prüfungen

TestDaF is an examination prepared at a central location and implemented around the world. It is intended primarily for students who wish to study in Germany and require certification of advanced German skills. The TestDaF-Institut in Hagen is responsible for preparing and implementing the TestDaF examination.

Registration for the April 20 exam will be open between February 17 - March 22, 2010.

Registration Procedure:
You must register online directly through the TestDaF website.
Click "Anmeldung" to begin the registration procedure.

Be sure to fill out the registration form carefully. Select the Goethe-Institut Boston as the testing center.

You will be asked for a "TAN" number during registration; this is the authorization number needed to prove that you have paid for your exam (see "Payment" section below).

Payment:
The TestDaF exam costs 175 € (Euro). You need to pay the equivalent in American dollars, so be cognizant of the exchange rate.

A check (made out to the Goethe-Institut Boston) or credit card number (Visa or Mastercard) is needed to process the payment. If paying by credit card, please call the Language Department at 617-262-6050 x. 20 to share the number! If paying by check, be sure the check arrives prior to the test registration deadline!

Once you've completed payment, the Goethe-Institut Boston will assign you a TAN number, which you will then use to complete your registration. Be sure to take care of payment promptly before the registration deadline!

Cancellation:
As per the TestDaF's policy, you can request a refund by the registration deadline of the exam you are enrolled for and receive the full amount back. Refund requests must be sent, in writing, directly to the TestDaF-Institut in Hagen (info@testdaf.de).

If you miss the exam or cancel after the registration deadline, you will not receive a refund.
