TestAS Preparation

Prepare for the TestAS with full timed mock exams, instant score analytics and AI feedback that pinpoints weak areas before German university applications.

About the TestAS

What's included

Frequently asked questions

What does StudienA's TestAS prep include?

Full-length, timed mock exams covering the Core Test (quantitative and formal reasoning) and all four subject-specific modules, drawn from a bank of dozens of complete tests rather than a handful of samples. After each attempt you get an immediate standard-score and percentile breakdown, plus AI-generated feedback that pinpoints specific weak areas by question type rather than just a raw pass/fail score — so your remaining study time targets exactly what's actually holding your score back. Everything is available in English, Vietnamese, Chinese and German, so instructions and feedback are in whichever language you're most comfortable studying in, even though the TestAS itself is sat in English or German.

How many TestAS practice questions are there?

The Free tier includes a limited set of sample questions so you can try the actual format before deciding whether to upgrade. Pro TestAS unlocks the full mock-exam bank — dozens of complete, timed exams across the Core Test and all four subject modules (Engineering; Economics; Mathematics/CS/Natural Sciences; Humanities/Social Sciences) — rather than a fixed, finite pool of a few hundred questions you'll quickly exhaust. New content is added over time as the question bank grows, so repeat practice keeps surfacing material you haven't already memorized the answer to.

Is there a free TestAS practice test?

Yes — the Free tier gives you a limited set of real TestAS-format sample questions with no credit card required and no expiring trial period, so you can evaluate whether StudienA's question style and platform fit how you like to study before committing to a paid plan. The full mock-exam bank, detailed analytics, and AI feedback are part of Pro TestAS, but the free sample is enough to judge the format for yourself first.

How is AI feedback different from just seeing the correct answers?

A plain answer key tells you whether you got a question right or wrong; StudienA's AI feedback instead analyzes your pattern of mistakes across an entire mock exam and tells you which specific skill or question sub-type is actually holding your score back — for example, consistently missing a particular kind of spatial-reasoning item within the Core Test, rather than just 'weak at Core Test' in general. That's a meaningfully different, more actionable signal than a score alone: it tells you what to practice next instead of just how you did, which matters most in the weeks before a test that's only offered a few times a year and can't be casually retaken.

What TestAS score do I need for German university admission?

There's no universal passing score — the TestAS itself doesn't set an admission threshold; each university and program sets its own minimum, and many don't publish a fixed cut-off at all, instead weighing your standard score alongside your other application documents. As a general reference point, the standard score scale centers around 90–110 as the average range, with higher scores strengthening competitive applications; scoring meaningfully above average matters more for high-demand programs (like Mechanical Engineering at top technical universities) than for less oversubscribed courses. Because requirements vary this much by program, check your specific target university's admissions page rather than assuming a single target score applies everywhere — and remember there's no negative marking on the TestAS, so always attempt every question rather than leaving any blank.

Can I retake the TestAS if I'm not happy with my score?

Yes — the TestAS can be retaken, and only your most recent result within the valid window is typically what universities consider (check your target university's specific policy, since a few weight differently). Because it's only offered a handful of times per year, factor a possible retake into your timeline from the start: sitting an earlier available session, rather than the last one before your deadline, leaves you enough runway to sit again if your first result comes in lower than hoped, without having to delay your entire application by a semester. There's no limit on how many times you can sit it, but each attempt costs a new registration fee and takes real preparation time, so most applicants aim to walk in as ready as possible rather than treating a retake as a casual safety net.

Free official TestAS materials vs. StudienA

The two resources do different jobs. Start with the official examples to understand the authentic format, then add repeated timed practice when you need feedback and a training history.

Official TestAS model tasks

Best for learning the current exam structure and seeing authoritative sample questions. They are free and should be part of every preparation plan, but a static document does not diagnose weak task groups or track improvement across attempts.

Open official TestAS preparation materials

StudienA practice and mock exams

Best for repeated, timed simulation with instant scoring, weak-area analytics and a saved performance history across Core and Subject Module practice. The free tier lets you test the workflow before choosing a paid plan.

Use the official material first. Add StudienA when you need more practice volume, realistic timing and feedback between attempts.
