TestDaf vs Goethe Zertificat test

Most of the content on TestDaF is related to academic vocabulary or student life. GZ covers a wider range of topics. The hearing portion of TestDaF is rather simple; the first two listening activities were easy, but the final test was much more challenging. The first listening assignment in GZ is,  a bit more difficult than the first one in TestDaF. The second is a radio interview, typically with academic instructors, researchers, or artists. Unlike GZ, where only the first task requires written replies, TestDaF’s L-tasks all demand written responses.

In GZ, reading is much more difficult than in TestDaF. Multiple choice answers are provided for this section of TestDaF, making it simpler to receive a high score. The C1 Goethe reading component is trickier.

The worst portion of this exam is Exercise 2 (Aussage).

The speaking segment is where the biggest variances exist. You always converse with the computer at TestDaF. I’m unsure of how useful it is.

GZ test writing is a little simpler in TestDaF. Not many points to include in the essay.
