Self-assessment tests

Self-assessment tests help prospective students determine which subjects best suit their interests and aptitude. Of course, the results cannot replace individual advising sessions (see "downloads and links").

Self assessment tests by the Association of North German Universities

The Association of North German Universities (Nordverbund) has developed self assessment tests to help prospective students identify their interests and check their aptitude for various subjects. These tests are web-based and take between 90 and 120 minutes. At the end of each test, test-takers receive feedback as to whether their interests and abilities suit particular subjects. This final report cannot replace individual advising session. It merely provides a basis for further individual advising.
