Almanya’da Tıp kazanma şansını artıran sınav: TestAS 🇩🇪

Main ideas / lessons

Purpose of the TestAS exam (Germany)

• TestAS is an entrance-related exam designed to increase chances of admission to university.
• It is especially important for fields (including medicine) where admissions are constrained by NC (Numerus Clausus)-type factors and where baseline acceptance odds can be low.

Exam structure: two major parts

1. Part 1 — Core / “Cortest” section

   • Focuses on problem-solving and logic-oriented questions (e.g., IQ-test style items and number sequence tasks).
   • The content is not specific to the major/degree program you apply for.
   • In practice, this means applicants face a shared style of questions.

2. Part 2 — Department-specific section

   • Content varies by degree program.
   • The speaker’s experience focuses on medicine, describing science/medical-type topics (e.g., questions resembling biochemistry/physiology).

What boosts your score most

• While question content changes, the questions remain within consistent “types”.
• Therefore, once you learn the approach, the key advantage becomes time management.

How scoring is described (ETS/ENSI framing)

• The system is described as somewhat similar to university entrance exam ranking systems.
• Scoring involves percentiles/ranking (how you compare to other candidates).
• Example mentioned:
  • Getting “120–130 correct” can yield extra points based on your percentile converted into ENSI points.
• Points are calculated separately for:
  • The Core / logic (Cortest) part
  • The department-specific part (for medicine: the medicine-specific subsection)
• At some universities, strong TestAS performance (e.g., around 99% percentile) is emphasized.
• The speaker also notes that in almost all universities, a good GPA still helps.

Methodology / study instructions (detailed)

Use targeted practice materials

• Search online for a “TestAS self-testing model” PDF set.
  • The speaker suggests a Google query like: “TestAS model … test”
  • This produces a PDF (~72 pages) with similar questions for each section (or at least representative practice).
• Prefer practice across multiple resources, not only one book.

Learn question approaches (not just content)

• Logic questions have repeatable solution strategies.
• After learning the method for each question type, the main work becomes:
  • speed
  • consistency

Time management training (core recommendation)

• Solve practice questions with real timing discipline.
• Specifically:
  • Give yourself 10–15 minutes less than the official time during practice.
• Rationale:
  • In the exam, stress may cause you to freeze on a single logic point even if you know the solution at home.

If you get stuck: use clarification strategies

• The speaker describes learning with a friend who had previously taken TestAS:
  • The friend wasn’t used for broad topic explanations.
  • Instead, they explained a few specific questions the speaker didn’t understand.
• For modern support, the speaker suggests using AI tools/apps to understand how the correct answer is reached.
• Always verify that the explanation aligns with the intended logic.

Vocabulary / comprehension support (German language issue)

• If German text questions feel hard to understand, the speaker recommends:
  • reading a book covering those topics, or
  • searching articles and YouTube tutorials focused on the relevant vocabulary/wording.
• After taking an E.B.-model test (wording unclear in the source), the speaker advises:
  • extract words from the questions
  • memorize them for later.

Additional notes about a similar exam for German students

• The speaker claims German students take a comparable university-entry exam.
• They mention the exam may change slightly over time (current name possibly changing next year).
• Books for that exam may help with logic/IQ, but the speaker warns:
  • the difficulty of interactions may be higher than TestAS
  • question types may differ
  • therefore, it’s not fully recommended
• Overall conclusion from this point:
  • since the structure is similar, international students are not inherently disadvantaged.
