Both the central creation as well as the correction of the TestDaf examinations are subject to continuous quality control. The TestDaf Institute offers several exam dates during the year. The TestDaf Institute is legally and financially supported by the Society for Academic eV Test Development and receives advice on scientific matters from a board of directors.
