Hi everyone,
I’m currently doing an Ausbildung in Germany and I need a recognized C1 certificate for my school. My school officially accepts Goethe C1, telc C1, and also TestDaF with TDN 4 in all sections.
I’ve looked into different exams, and so far the TestDaF format feels a bit easier for me to understand compared to the others, so I’m considering preparing for it.
I have a few questions for people who have experience with TestDaF:

1.How is the overall structure and difficulty of the exam?

2.Do I have to take all four modules together, or can I book/write TDN 4 separately?

3.To get TDN 4, do I need a specific percentage like 60%, or does the scoring system work differently?

4.How does booking the exam work exactly?
Which section is usually the hardest?

5.Are there any good preparation resources, books, YouTube channels, or study methods you would recommend?

6.If anyone switched from Goethe/telc to TestDaF, what was your experience?

For context: I work during the week and prepare for German alongside my Ausbildung, so I’m trying to understand the exam properly before choosing it.
Thanks a lot!

Hi everyone,
I need a C1 certificate for my Ausbildung and my school accepts TestDaF (TDN 4), Goethe, and telc.

I’m considering TestDaF and have a few questions:

Can you book TestDaF in modules or is it always one full exam?
How does scoring work for TDN 4 (percentage or points)?
Do all four parts need TDN 4 or is an overall score enough?
How is the booking process?
Any tips for preparation or difficulty level?
Thanks!
