About the TestAS Exam
TestAS is the standardized aptitude test for international applicants planning undergraduate study at German universities. It measures general academic reasoning in the Core Test/Core Module and field-related academic aptitude in a selected Subject Module. The test is offered in German and English at licensed g.a.s.t. test centres worldwide, with digital and paper-based formats that measure comparable abilities but use somewhat different task types. Universities may use TestAS scores as a selection criterion, supplementary qualification, or application requirement, and applicants should check the rules of each target university.
