Why Prepliq · TestDaF model test

The best TestDaF model test for the TDN level your university asks for

For the TestDaF there are fixed practice papers as PDFs. But nobody rates your graph text there, and nobody answers you in a speaking task. That is where Prepliq’s TestDaF model test comes in: all four sections online, with a TDN level for each.

Unlike a PDF you mark yourself, Prepliq rates your text and all seven speaking tasks on criteria of its own and shows a TDN level for each section, with no total. And every new TestDaF mock test has unique questions. So you know before exam day which section still needs work.

You start the TestDaF model test without an account, in your browser, on a laptop, tablet or phone. Prepliq saves it from your first answer, so no practice is lost.

What you get · TestDaF model test

What the TestDaF model test in Prepliq gives you

Six reasons to take the TestDaF model test online, not on paper.

The full TestDaF model test

All four sections with the same parts as the paper TestDaF, or just the one you need.

TestDaF model test with answers, in two modes

Instant marks each answer right or wrong at once. Exam Mode shows everything after you hand in.

Your TestDaF graph text, rated

Prepliq rates your text on four criteria of its own, with a TDN level, and marks every correction on your own words.

TestDaF speaking in seven situations

In Prepliq, the partner plays the person in each situation and reacts to what you say.

Ready for the TestDaF?

Your readiness card shows the TDN level of each section and what is still missing.

New questions in every TestDaF mock test

The official model test PDFs are fixed papers. Every new TestDaF model test in Prepliq has unique questions.

Practise by section

TestDaF model test by section: Reading, Listening, Writing, Speaking

Every section of the TestDaF model test has the same parts as the paper TestDaF. Practise the full test or one section with its own clock.

A single section counts too. Its result goes into your history and onto your readiness card. So no TestDaF task is new to you on exam day.

TestDaF Reading

In the TestDaF Reading model test, you match 10 people to 7 offers, with h when none fits. Then come a text with a, b or c and an academic text where you choose Ja, Nein or Text sagt dazu nichts. Prepliq checks every answer against the key.

3 parts · 60 min

TestDaF Listening

In the TestDaF Listening model test, you hear a report about a conversation and two reports about interviews. You answer a, b, c or d, and true or false in the middle part. Show transcript lets you read what you missed.

3 parts · 40 min

TestDaF Writing

In the TestDaF Writing model test, you write a text of about 250 words on two graphs: describe, compare, weigh pros and cons, take a position and write about your home country. Prepliq rates it on four criteria of its own, with a TDN level.

1 task · 60 min

TestDaF Speaking

In the TestDaF Speaking model test, you speak in 7 situations from university life, each with its Vorbereitungszeit and Sprechzeit. In Prepliq, the partner plays the person in each situation and reacts to you. Every task gets a TDN level.

7 tasks · 35 min

Same 4 sections, 3 h 15 min (incl. 5 min instructions) and TDN levels as the official TestDaF exam. Last checked against TestDaF’s official format in October 2026.

Your result

Your TestDaF model test result: a TDN level for each section

Prepliq reports your TestDaF model test the way TestDaF does. Each section gets its own level: TDN 5, TDN 4, TDN 3 or unter TDN 3.

TestDaF has no pass, no fail and no total, so your result shows none either. A strong Reading level cannot hide a weak Writing level.

Your Prepliq result shows which section has not yet reached the level your university asks for, often TDN 4 in every section. Under TestDaF’s official rules, you sit the whole exam again to raise a level, as often as you like, but each time with a new booking and fee.

Are your text or your speaking tasks still being rated? Then the result shows what is done and adds the rest as soon as it arrives.

Review Answers opens the whole TestDaF model test with your answers in place. Each question shows your answer next to the correct one, and skipped ones are marked as skipped.

Writing and speaking

TestDaF writing and speaking in the model test, rated with a TDN level

Your TestDaF graph text, corrected on your own words

It is hard to judge your own text in 60 minutes. In the TestDaF model test, you write one text about two graphs: describe, compare, weigh pros and cons and give your view.

Ask for feedback, and Prepliq rates your text on four criteria of its own, each with a TDN level:

  • Aufgabenerfüllung — did you cover the data and every point of the task?
  • Textaufbau / Kohärenz — does your text have a clear start, middle and end?
  • Wortschatz — the range and fit of your words for university.
  • Strukturen / Korrektheit — grammar, spelling and sentence building.

You get a rating for each one, with the reason for it. Every correction is marked on your own words, with the rule and a short reason. So the graph text you write on exam day isn’t your first one.

    In a main clause, the past participle goes to the end.

  • Should fix · Style

    Fitness-Studios sind teuer. Viele junge Leute gehen hin. → Obwohl Fitness-Studios teuer sind, gehen viele junge Leute hin.

    Link the two ideas with “obwohl” to show the contrast.

Seven situations from university life, in TestDaF Speaking

You can’t practise speaking tasks alone. In the TestDaF model test, you meet 7 situations: you ask for information, report on your home country, describe a graph and take a position.

Each task shows its Vorbereitungszeit and Sprechzeit. Prepliq’s partner plays the person you talk to and reacts to what you say.

Prepliq rates each task on five criteria of its own:

  • Aufgabenerfüllung — did you do what the situation asks?
  • Kohärenz / Diskursfähigkeit — does your answer flow and hang together?
  • Wortschatz — the range of your words.
  • Strukturen / Korrektheit — your grammar.
  • Aussprache / Intonation — judged on how clearly your answers come through.

Every task gets a TDN level, so you see which situations still hold you back. So the seven kinds of speaking task are nothing new on exam day.

Speaking · Task 4 · Stellung nehmen

  • Situation

    Eine Kommilitonin möchte, dass alle Seminare nur noch online stattfinden. Nehmen Sie Stellung.

Exam day readiness

Are you ready for the TestDaF? Your readiness from every mock test

Your Prepliq dashboard turns every TestDaF model test you take into one readiness card. Full papers and single sections both count.

TestDaF gives each section its own level, so the card reads section by section, with no overall number. It answers four questions:

TestDaF → exam day readiness

Based on the 1 test you've finished with a score

A TDN level for each section

TestDaF confidence

How much evidence stands behind your TestDaF estimate. It grows with every section you cover and every test you take.

Practised TestDaF Reading, Listening and Writing but never Speaking? Then Speaking shows “Not measured yet”. The seven speaking tasks need their own practice.

Need TDN 4 in every section for your university? Then the card shows which section is still at TDN 3.

Ask yourself: would I reach my level in every section if I sat the TestDaF now? Your own results in the model test give the answer. Readiness is Prepliq’s estimate from your practice, not a TestDaF result.

New questions, repeats and history

Unlimited TestDaF model tests with unique questions

The TestDaF-Institut’s model tests are fixed papers. After a second try, you know their answers. Prepliq writes new TestDaF papers, so a level that holds on new texts is one you can trust before exam day.

Start a new TestDaF mock test

With full access, Start new test gives you a new TestDaF model test with unique questions: new texts, new recordings, new graphs and new speaking situations. Take all four sections or one.

Retake a TestDaF test

Want another go at the same TestDaF paper? Retake this test brings back the same questions, and its result card says it was a retake. An unfinished test waits on your dashboard.

Your TestDaF history

Every TestDaF test you finish, all four sections or one, stays in your history with its date, time and score. Its row shows your lowest section level, never a pass or fail.

PDF or online with Prepliq

TestDaF model test: PDF or online with Prepliq?

The TestDaF-Institut publishes Model Tests 01 and 02 for the paper TestDaF as PDFs, one booklet for each section. You can print them and write on them.

But the papers are fixed, and they can’t rate your graph text or answer you in a speaking task. Prepliq’s TestDaF practice test has the same four sections and parts, online.

Use the PDF to see the official paper. Use Prepliq to measure each section as often as you need.

What learners say about the mock tests in Prepliq

Learners tell how they get ready for their exam with Prepliq’s model tests.

it helps a lot
rayane

Translated from Spanish

Greetings, it is very important to practice every day and if you make a mistake, try it again until you succeed. That helped me a lot, thank you very much Prepliq. I feel very grateful for this application and I wish everyone good luck.
gabyGoetheB1

Translated from Spanish

I have two children, so I could only practice after nine at night. Twenty minutes a day for six weeks and it was enough to feel ready for the exam.
NereaGoetheA2

Translated from Romanian

A month ago, my practice tests were around 60 percent. Now I am getting over 80 and, for the first time, I feel ready for the real exam.
BogdantelcB2

Translated from Italian

I have been preparing for the C1 for three months. What helps me the most is that the feedback tells me what to correct, not just a grade. My results in the exercises finally look like C1 level.
IlariaGoetheC1

Translated from Arabic

This was my first exam in a new country and I was afraid of everything. After taking the full exam here once, from beginning to end, most of that fear faded away.
RashatelcA2

Translated from Serbian

Reading was never my problem, but I would freeze up when someone spoke to me. I listened to the audio recordings here at full speed over and over again, and that solved the problem.
TijanaGoetheB1

Translated from Portuguese

I used to panic about the speaking part. After practicing here every day, it feels like a normal conversation now. The real exam is in ten days and that part is the one that scares me the least.
LeandroTestDaF

Translated from Ukrainian

I only have my evenings because of my full-time job, so I do one practice section per evening. The exam is next Saturday, and I actually feel ready.
YarynatelcB2

Translated from Turkish

The writing feedback was, to be honest, harsh. However, it kept showing me the same three mistakes, and after correcting them for two weeks, my letters became much better.
SinanGoetheB2

Translated from French

A friend told me about Prepliq, it helped him before his exam. I find it useful too.
WassimTestDaF
ChatGPT recommended me Prepliq when I asked how to practise for the exam. Thank goodness this website exist.
AnalyntelcB2

Translated from Spanish

With the PDF exam models, I could only check my reading and listening comprehension answers. No one could tell me if my letter was correct or listen to me speak. Now I finally receive corrections on what I write and say, and those were my weakest parts.
MarianaGoetheB1

Translated from Georgian

I did the same practice test so many times that I knew the answers by heart. That says nothing about your level. Now I am practicing with questions I have never seen before, and when my score goes up, I know it is real.
TeklatelcB2

Translated from Arabic

Studying alone was the hardest part for me. Then I kept seeing that other people were practicing at that very moment, someone finished a full test in the middle of the night, and someone else improved their score. It seems simple, but it kept me going.
ImaneGoetheB1

Translated from Persian

What scared me was not German, but the exam itself. After a few complete practice runs here, I know all the sections, what comes first and how much time I have for each one.
ParisaGoetheB2

Translated from Serbian

For my citizenship application, I need a B1 certificate, and the deadline is close. I practiced here every day after work. My last three practice exams were above the passing threshold, now I just want to pass the real one.
AlmirtelcB1

Translated from Albanian

The telc exam costs almost 200 euros, and if you fail, you have to pay the whole fee again. I waited until my test results were stable to book the date. Now, the money part doesn't scare me anymore.
ErindtelcB1
I need the certificate for my Masters. My problem was always running out of time, so I kept doing full timed exams here until that stopped happening.
NikhilTestDaF

Translated from Polish

I failed the telc B1 on my first attempt. This time, I practiced the speaking part here almost every evening. My retake exam is in two weeks, and I'm not as nervous as I was the first time.
KingatelcB1

Practice test questions

TestDaF model test: questions and answers

Answers about the TestDaF model test in Prepliq: marking, the graph text, the speaking tasks, TDN levels and readiness.

What is the TestDaF model test in Prepliq?

Prepliq’s TestDaF model test is a full German practice test online, with the same four sections and parts as the paper TestDaF.

You practise Reading, Listening, Writing and Speaking. Prepliq checks every answer, rates your graph text and plays the person in seven speaking situations. Each section gets a TDN level.

How does the TestDaF practice test work online?

In Prepliq’s TestDaF model test, you pick all four sections or one and answer online.

Prepliq checks your answers, shows each one next to the correct one and gives each section a TDN level, with no total.

How do I start the TestDaF model test?

You start Prepliq’s TestDaF model test with “Start full TestDaF model test”.

Want to practise one section only? Choose “One TestDaF section” and the section you need.

Can I practise only writing in the TestDaF model test?

Yes, in Prepliq you start TestDaF Writing as its own section, with its own clock.

That works for all four sections. The result goes into your history and counts toward your readiness card.
