Three ways to challenge your thinking.
Pick a task. Start at your level. Build up to the harder questions.
Mathematical Equations
A + B = 11A × B = 28Two relationships. One way in.
Find your way to the answer.
Untangle linear and quadratic relationships. Build the instinct to substitute, test and move on.
Latin Squares
Make every clue count.
Connect deductions across rows and columns when one quick elimination is no longer enough.
“I took the dMAT.
It was tougher than
my practice.”
So I rebuilt the questions around the difficulty I actually encountered. This is the practice I wanted before I sat the exam.

- Patterns that make you look twice
Repeated silhouettes, turns of 90°, 180°, then 270°, and diagonal steps growing from 2 to 3 to 4.
- Algebra with real time pressure
Mixed linear and quadratic systems that reward bounds, substitution and quick candidate testing.
- Logic beyond one-step elimination
Longer, connected deductions and fewer obvious shortcuts in Latin Squares.
Original generated practice, not recalled exam questions. Difficulty is informed by one test taker’s experience and is not officially calibrated.

A few things
worth knowing.

What is the dMAT Core Module?
The Core Module has three subtests. Each gives you 25 minutes for 20 questions, about 75 seconds per question. The three subtests test different things but share a rhythm: read the constraint, find the one thing that fixes the answer, commit, move on.
What are the three dMAT Core Module task types?
Figure Sequences, Mathematical Equations and Latin Squares. Figure Sequences: Work out the rule governing each figure in a 4 x 4 matrix series, then pick the next two matrices. Mathematical Equations: Find the whole number each letter stands for so every equation in the system holds at once. Latin Squares: Deduce the letter in the question-mark field of a 5 x 5 grid using only row and column elimination.
How long do you get per dMAT question?
About 75 seconds. Each subtest gives you 25 minutes for 20 questions, and the clock runs across the whole subtest rather than per question, so time saved on an easy one is time available for a hard one. dMAT Trainer times every practice question against that pace and marks anything slower than it.
Is there a penalty for a wrong answer in the dMAT?
There is no penalty for a wrong answer, so never leave a question blank. Guess if you have to.
Can you take notes during the dMAT?
You may not take notes at any point during the exam.
Is dMAT Trainer free?
Yes. The free plan gives you generated practice questions up to a daily limit, each with a worked solution, and there are no ads at any point. A one-off ₹499 payment removes the daily limit and adds timed exam sets and seed replay. There is no subscription and nothing to cancel.
Is dMAT Trainer official?
No. This is an independent practice tool, not affiliated with or endorsed by g.a.s.t. or the TestDaF-Institut. The official preparatory materials on d-mat.de are the authoritative source, and where this app and those materials disagree, the official materials are correct.
How many practice questions are there?
There is no fixed number. Every question is generated from a seed rather than drawn from a bank, so the supply does not run out. The official preparatory materials ship six exercises per task type, which is what this app exists to extend.
