Testas (Test Für Ausländische Studierende) is developed exclusively for foreign students and plays a particularly important role when entering medicine.
If you simplify it strongly, then this is something like a test on IQ.
This certificate improves the average score, and therefore the chances of admission. This is especially important for future doctors.
Medicine is one of the most popular specialties in Germany in the number of those entering universities, as well as in ratings of the most popular and highly paid professions. The medicine has a very large competition, as a result of which it is almost impossible to act with an average score. Moreover, due to a large competition, universities provide very small quotas to receive foreign students.
In this regard, the question often arises: "How to enter medicine?" One of the options is Testas. Important: it is a plus not in all universities, it is important to watch the requirements of each educational institution separately.
