Language Exams

Language exams are taken based on the skill level of the students.

We prepare for and offer the following exams:

AATG is a nationally recognized German exam administered by the American Association of Teachers of German.

IVA (Internationale Vergleichsarbeiten) is an exam offered by the Central Agency for German Schools Abroad which provides proof of German language proficiency at levels A1 & A2.

DSD1 (Level A2/B1) provides proof of German language proficiency to study at the college preparatory Studien-kollegs in Germany.

DSD2 (Level B2/C1) This prestigious exam, as well as DSD I and IVA, is designed and approved by the German government. The DSD II exam is taken as the final language exam. It satisfies the language requirements for entrance to universities in German speaking countries. Most American colleges recognize it and award credit.
