Country-level guidance for Germany

Scores run on the 10–160 scale; English-taught programs generally want 105–125. Acceptance is at the program level.

Admission is not the same as the visa

For German student-visa processing, English-language proof ties to the university's admissions decision rather than a nationally mandated test type. If your English-taught program admits you on a DET score, that admission generally supports the visa. German-taught programs need German proof separately.

Applying from Equatorial Guinea

At about $70 the DET is taken online from Equatorial Guinea — no test-centre travel, and far cheaper than IELTS. Equatorial Guinea is the only Spanish-speaking country in Africa, so Spain is the leading destination (study in Spanish); English-taught programmes need Duolingo English Test/IELTS.
