Total score

—

Estimated score (per official formula).

ÖSYM/MEB exams subtract one quarter of wrongs from corrects; international exams (SAT, GRE, TOEFL) have no wrong-answer penalty. The result is an estimate and final scoring varies by scaling table and year.

Formula

TestDaF wird je Bereich in Niveaustufen TDN 3, TDN 4 und TDN 5 bewertet (TDN 5 = höchstes B2/C1-Profil). Universitäten verlangen meist mind. TDN 4 in allen Bereichen. Der Rechner schätzt richtig gelöste Aufgaben pro Bereich; die offizielle TDN-Stufung erfolgt durch das TestDaF-Institut.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is the estimate?

The formula mirrors the TestDaF Institut 2026 guideline. OBP/AOBP, year and AYT/TYT mix influence the final result and are not captured here.

How do wrong answers count?

Following classical ÖSYM logic, every 4 wrong answers cancel one correct: net = correct - (wrong / 4). LGS and a few others use different rules and explain those on their page.
