Digital TestDaF Speaking: Weighing Options
Updated: 23 September 2026 · Checked against official exam sources
Weighing options is an official digital TestDaF speaking task; candidates evaluate alternatives in a given situation.
A way to approach it
Compare two options using the same criterion, such as time, cost or learning value. Give one advantage and limitation for each.
Final check
Do more than list options: make a conditional choice and summarise your reason in a final sentence.
Practise with the official sample
Try the TestDaF-Institut sample before reading its explanation. Compare your answers with the key and, where available, the transcript. Record why each mistake occurred and rehearse with a timer because the digital test does not let you return to a previous task.
