Two modules.
Both of them trainable.

Germany's Digital Master Assessment Test has a Core Module of three timed puzzle formats and a General Academic Module of academic passages. No syllabus, no past papers, no notes in the room — just speed and accuracy at formats you can practise. Start with a free mock in either one.

What the dMAT actually tests

Two modules, one exam day, and they fail you in different ways.

You sit both. Neither is a knowledge test — there is nothing to revise and no syllabus to cover. People rarely struggle with both: most find one costs them marks and the other does not, which is why we sell them separately.

Core Module · 70 minutes · 56 questions

Three puzzle formats, against a clock

Shapes, mental algebra and grid logic — formats most Indian students have never seen before, run back to back with the timer reset between each. The thinking is not hard. Doing it at this speed, with nothing to write on, is.

  • Figure Sequences — 20 items in 25 min. Figures move, rotate and change colour under a fixed rule set. You predict the next two matrices. The subtest most people lose marks on, purely from unfamiliarity.
  • Mathematical Equations — 20 items in 25 min. Every letter is a whole number from 1 to 20 and exactly one solution exists. Tests mental bookkeeping, not mathematics.
  • Latin Squares — 16 items in 20 min. A 5×5 grid holds A to E once per row and column. Sudoku logic, without the pencil.

General Academic Module · 90 minutes · 30 questions

Academic material you have never seen, applied

Short academic texts and self-contained applied problems, drawn from 8 subject areas. Everything you need is on the screen, so nothing has to be memorised beforehand — and you will meet fields that are not yours.

  • Passage sets — a model, a method or a mechanism, followed by single-choice questions on it. Subject knowledge is not tested. Reading a subject text under a clock is.
  • Applied questions — self-contained problems that state every constant and formula they need. Vectors, hydrostatics, order quantities, research method.
  • Where the marks go — almost never comprehension. It is spending nine minutes on the first text and meeting the last with eleven left. Which is a rehearsable problem.

This is a real question from Mock 1

Four matrices are given. Work out each figure's rule, then pick the pair showing matrices five and six. In the real exam you would have seventy-five seconds and nowhere to write.

Answer it, then open the worked solution underneath. That is what every one of the 280 questions gives you - the rule behind each figure named in plain English, before you have paid us anything.

  1. Triangle: moves diagonally up-right 1 cell per step; bounces off the outer boundary; cycles through three colours; rotates 180 degrees about its own axis each step.
  2. Arrow: moves diagonally up-right, accelerating by one extra cell each step (1, then 2, then 3, ...); bounces off the outer boundary; cycles through three colours; rotates 90 anticlockwise degrees about its own axis each step.
  3. Chevron: moves up 1 cell per step; bounces off the outer boundary; alternates between its two colours; rotates 90 clockwise degrees about its own axis each step.
  4. Apply each rule two further steps from matrix 4 to obtain matrices 5 and 6, then pick each one from its column.

Every one of the 280 questions carries a solution written like this — the rule behind each figure in plain English, not just the correct letter.

What you get

Built to behave like the real test, not like a PDF

10Full-length mocks
430Unique questions
2Modules covered
0Notes allowed

Both modules, 10 full mocks

5 Core Module papers of 56 questions in 70 minutes, and 5 General Academic papers in 90. Mock 1 of each module is free, and nothing repeats between papers — 430 unique questions in total.

Exam conditions, enforced

Timers run per subtest and close it when time is up, the way the exam does. No notes, no calculator, no extensions — and the player flags when you switch tabs, because practising with a browser open trains the wrong habit.

A worked solution for every item

Not an answer key. Each figure's movement rule, each substitution step, each forced deduction, the line of the passage an answer comes from — and what each wrong option is the result of, so a near miss teaches you something.

Written two ways, checked both

Core items come off a rule engine and are verified exhaustively, so there is no fixed bank to memorise. Academic passages are written by hand — nothing generates a good one — then machine-checked for a single defensible answer and arithmetic that works without a calculator.

Who this is for

Indian master's applicants, Summer Semester 2027 onwards

If you hold a bachelor's in engineering, computer science, commerce, economics, business or management and started your APS process on or after 29 June 2026, the dMAT is now one document inside your APS file. Sat once, valid for life, and a low score does not block your certificate.

Roughly half the people who land here do not have to sit it at all. Check before you pay anyone anything — including us.

The honest bit

Nobody has the official questions. Be suspicious of anyone who says they do.

The dMAT is administered by g.a.s.t. and evaluated centrally in Bochum. Its item bank is not public and its scoring model is not published. Any provider claiming real dMAT papers is either guessing or lying.

What can be replicated — precisely — is the format: the published task rules, the item counts, the timing, the no-notes constraint and the three difficulty tiers. That is what we built, for both modules.

We also show you a score. It is your raw result and per-subtest accuracy, plus an estimated band on the published 0–200 scale, labelled as our estimate — because g.a.s.t. does not publish its scoring model, and nobody who quotes you a precise dMAT score can show their working.

Questions

dMAT, answered

Is the dMAT compulsory for me?

The dMAT applies if you are applying for a Master's programme in Germany for Summer Semester 2027 or later, your bachelor's is in engineering (including computer science and IT), commerce, accounting, finance, economics, business or management, and you started your APS process on or after 29 June 2026. Bachelor's applicants, PhD applicants, exchange and partnership students, and anyone who already holds an APS certificate are exempt.

What does the dMAT exam cost?

The exam fee is EUR 150, roughly Rs 16,500 depending on the day's exchange rate, paid directly to g.a.s.t. when you register. That is separate from the Rs 18,000 APS documentation fee, so budget for both. DMAT Club charges only for preparation; we never handle your exam fee or your registration.

Is there a syllabus I can study from?

Not in the traditional sense. The Core Module tests reasoning through three fixed task types - Figure Sequences, Mathematical Equations and Latin Squares - rather than curriculum content. There is no chapter list to cram. Preparation means getting fast and accurate at those exact formats under time pressure.

How is the dMAT structured?

Two modules with a 30-minute break in between. The Core Module runs 90 minutes: 20 Figure Sequences in 25 minutes, 20 Mathematical Equations in 25 minutes, and 20 Latin Squares in 20 minutes. Then the General Academic Module for 90 minutes - every Indian APS candidate sits that same module, whatever the bachelor's field was. Answer formats differ by subtest, and there is no negative marking anywhere.

Can I use rough paper or a calculator?

No. You may not take notes at any point in the dMAT, and no calculator is provided. This is the single biggest reason practising on printed PDFs is counterproductive - it trains a skill the exam forbids. Every DMAT Club mock runs in the browser under the same no-notes conditions.

Should I guess if I do not know an answer?

Yes. There is no negative marking, so a blank earns nothing while a guess has at least a one-in-four chance. Eliminating even one option makes guessing clearly worthwhile. Our mocks flag every blank before you submit.

Are DMAT Club questions the official ones?

No, and no legitimate provider can offer those. Every question on DMAT Club is originally generated by our own engine, built to the same published task rules and difficulty tiers as the official format. That also means you can practise indefinitely without ever repeating a question.

How many mock tests do I get?

Mock 1 is free with a DMAT Club account. The full bundle gives you all five full-length mocks, 280 unique questions, and a worked solution for every single item.
