What is the onSET for?
The onSET measures your general language proficiency, either in German or in English.
You receive feedback about your language level immediately after the test. The test lasts a maximum of 40 minutes.
The onSET makes it easy to find your most suitable learning group for your language level, thereby increasing your likelihood of success.
You can predict your level of success in language tests such as the TestDaF. The TestDaF is required for admission to university.
The onSET rating is based on the CEFR and is evidence of your language proficiency, e.g. for employers.
The onSET certificate is an important part of your application for a DAAD scholarship.
