TestDaF is a German language proficiency test for admission to higher education in Germany. It is offered in a digital and a paper-based version and issues certificates at levels TDN 3, 4 and 5, which are mapped to CEFR levels B2 and C1. For the digital test, a combined certificate can be ordered that shows the best results of individual exam parts from exams taken within a period of up to six months.

The main customers are international applicants to German universities and researchers preparing for stays at German universities. Universities, test centres and language teachers are also addressed as audiences. The test can be taken at over 500 test centres in about 100 countries, and the website states that it is recognised by all German universities and that its certificates are valid indefinitely.

The test has been offered since 2001 and is described as having up to 50,000 participants per year. The paper-based version received the ALTE Q-mark for the fourth time in 2022. The TestDaF is offered by g.a.s.t., and the website is published in German.
