CoreForge, the dMAT practice platform I founded

The digitaler Mastertest (dMAT) is an aptitude test that international applicants to German Master’s programmes may be asked to sit. g.a.s.t. and the TestDaF-Institut run it, with DAAD support. You sit the Core Module and one subject module in a single session of roughly 3.5 hours, break included; it is taken on a computer, in English, with single-choice answers.

From the Summer Semester 2027 intake, India APS applicants whose previous degree is in Engineering, Commerce / Accounting / Finance / Economics, or Business / Management must take the dMAT with the General Academic Module. Bachelor’s and PhD applicants and officially confirmed exchange, partnership or double-degree students are not affected. The ‘Do I need the dMAT?’ checker matches your degree against APS India’s official list; confirm on aps-india.de before you act.

Core Module practice (Figure Sequences, Mathematical Equations and Latin Squares) at easy difficulty in 3-question sets, plus your results, answer review and history, and Brain Gym levels 1 to 3. No card, no expiry. The public demo also gives anyone 10 questions a day without an account.

Pro adds every difficulty and set size, the full timed Core Module, the General Academic Module across all 8 topic areas, every subject module, unlimited mock exams and the full dMAT simulation, Learn, analytics, a mistakes notebook, weekly leagues and an AI tutor. It is monthly or yearly, cancels in one tap and has a 7-day money-back guarantee on the first purchase. Current prices are on the pricing page.

No. Unofficial practice tool. Not affiliated with g.a.s.t., TestDaF-Institut, APS, or the DAAD. Question formats follow publicly documented dMAT task types, and all questions are originally generated.

Core tasks are freshly generated in the official formats rather than drawn from a stored bank. Figure sequences must pass a strict inferability check so the rule is uniquely deducible, equation systems are brute-forced to have exactly one whole-number solution, and Latin squares are verified so every valid completion agrees on the answer cell. General Academic Module questions keep the official shape, a reading passage with single-choice questions of exactly four options and one correct, and each one passes a validator before it ships.

Forty short, seeded drills for the speed, attention, memory and reasoning the Core Module leans on, ten levels each. One round a day plays without an account, and the Free plan opens levels 1 to 3. It is practice-adjacent, not part of the exam.

Yes. The ‘Do I need the dMAT?’ page has a Hindi summary (हिंदी में) of what the dMAT is, who has to sit it, what the paper covers, fees and registration, and scoring. The exam itself is sat in English.
