Do I have to pass Telford to study in Germany? For this problem, first of all, the German College Language Proficiency Test (TestDaf), referred to as "Telford", is a standardized intermediate and advanced test based on the language expression ability in the university life environment. This kind of examination was held abroad before, and all German students studying in Germany applied in Germany, which was very inconvenient and uneconomical. Since 2003, the Telford Examination Center has been set up in China. German students who are going to study in China can take this foreign language examination in China.
Pass to enter a German university
All freshmen in German universities are required to have "Telford" test scores. The test questions come from Telford Examination Institute and are divided into four parts: reading comprehension, listening, writing and speaking. There are no restrictions on the age and education of candidates who take the Telford exam. Middle school students, college students and graduate students can sign up for the exam no matter how many times. Candidates can take the exam at will, but they must pass all the exams every time, and they can't just retake part of the four parts.
The "Telford" test distinguishes language ability according to grades 3 to 5, with grade 5 being the highest level. If all four parts of the exam reach Grade 5, candidates' language ability can adapt to all university courses in Germany.
The certificate of "Telford" exam is recognized by all universities in Germany, and there is no time limit for the validity of this certificate.
