516 practice questions, dealt out over the days you have left
A last mile plan for the dMAT on 26 Sep 2026. Two full papers, and a method built for an exam that lets you write nothing down.
A crash pack, but not a crammer. There is no dMAT syllabus to revise, and the exam board says so plainly: it tests application rather than memorised knowledge. So what is compressed here is practice and method, not notes.
The problem is not that the dMAT is hard
It is that there is almost nothing to practise on, and the clock has nearly run out. Here is the entire official supply, for a three and a half hour exam:
| What officially exists | How much |
|---|---|
| Core Module practice exercises | 18 |
| Sample testlets for the General Academic Module, the half every Indian applicant sits | 4 |
| Full papers in the real structure | None |
| Sittings scheduled after 26 Sep 2026 | None |
Registration closes on 15 Sep 2026 and the test is on 26 Sep 2026. The exam board's own public feed carries one dMAT event worldwide. There is no second attempt to plan around.
Fourteen days, and each one already decided
Open it at the day you are on and do what is on the page. No deciding, no building a plan, no wondering whether you are practising the right thing.
| Day | What you do | Time |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Find your weakest subtest, and read the chapter on working without paper | 60 min |
| 2 to 4 | One method chapter and one set per task type, rough sheet still allowed | 60 min each |
| 5 | Paper one, sat in full and marked the same day | 3 h 15 |
| 6 | The rough sheet goes away, and does not come back | 60 min |
| 7 to 11 | Reading testlets, then full length blocks at exam pace | 60 to 90 min |
| 12 | Paper two, the dress rehearsal | 3 h 15 |
| 13 to 14 | Repair whatever paper two exposed, then taper | 40 to 60 min |
Starting late is normal, so there are three shorter tracks inside as well: seven days, three days, and the evening before. Each one puts the same two chapters first, because those are the ones that change what you do on the day.
Four things you can still fix, and one you cannot
Nobody raises general reasoning ability in a fortnight, and this does not pretend to. What it fixes is everything else, and that is where the marks actually are.
| What it fixes | Why it is worth marks |
|---|---|
| Working without paper | g.a.s.t. states three separate times that you may not take notes, lists notice paper as a prohibited aid, and allows no calculator. Twenty systems of equations get solved in your head. Almost everyone practises with a pen and loses accuracy on the day |
| Format shock | Forty seconds spent working out what a Latin Square is asking is forty seconds off a seventy five second budget |
| Pacing | Three minutes on one hard task trades one mark for the two you never reach. There is an abandon rule, and it is specific |
| Blank answers | The score converts the number of correct answers. Nothing is subtracted for a wrong one, so a blank and a guess cost differently and only one of them is free |
What most sites are still telling you
| What is being said | What the exam board actually publishes | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | "Choose the subject module that matches your degree" | There is no choice. Every applicant going through APS India sits the General Academic Module, whether their degree is mechanical engineering or B.Com |
| 2 | "Latin Squares: 16 tasks in 20 minutes" | That is the TestAS timing. The dMAT gives 20 tasks in 25 minutes, and preparing to the wrong clock is worse than not preparing |
| 3 | "It is pass or fail, so a low score sinks you" | APS India states it is not a pass or fail test for the certificate. The score is still printed on your APS certificate and travels to every German university you apply to |
| 4 | "You get rough paper in the exam" | You do not. Notice papers are a prohibited aid, and so are wristwatches, smartwatches and calculators |
| 5 | "Revise in the thirty minute break" | Consulting notes during the break means exclusion without exception, the fee kept and no certificate issued |
What you get
| # | What you get | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 249 Core Module tasks and 9 reading testlets, split into a set for every working day of the plan | You never open it and wonder what to do |
| 2 | Two full papers in the real structure: three 25 minute Core subtests, a 30 minute break, then 90 minutes of the General Academic Module | One early to diagnose, one late to rehearse |
| 3 | 21 reading testlets, 147 questions, across mathematics, computing, science, engineering, business, economics, social sciences and humanities | The half of the exam with four official sample testlets in existence |
| 4 | A worked answer under every task, written as the steps to hold in your head | Not an answer key. A method you can copy on the day |
| 5 | A chapter on solving without paper: fixed slots, carrying relationships instead of values, and why saying it beats picturing it | The single biggest gap between how people practise and what the exam asks |
| 6 | The anchor and chain method for Mathematical Equations, the ten second triage for Latin Squares, and the three channel read for Figure Sequences | Chosen for what they ask you to hold, not for how short they look on paper |
| 7 | The complete rule grammar for Figure Sequences, as the exam board publishes it | A closed list of six rules. Nothing else can appear, which makes it an elimination tool |
| 8 | Registration, payment and test day, quoted from the terms rather than paraphrased | Arrive after materials are handed out and you are not admitted. No refund |
| 9 | Three shorter tracks for seven days, three days and the evening before | Written for people who started late, because most people do |
| 10 | A chapter on what nobody has published, including the retake policy | Stated as unknown rather than guessed at |
566 pages. 516 practice questions. 21 reading testlets. Two full papers.
Every question here was written for this book
Nothing published by the exam board is reproduced, and nothing is repeated from Nbyula's other dMAT book, so the two can be used together.
Every Mathematical Equations system has exactly one solution, with every value a whole number from 1 to 20. Every Latin Squares grid has exactly one letter that can legally sit in the marked cell. Every Figure Sequence has exactly one rule set consistent with the four matrices you are shown, so the answer is determined rather than merely plausible. Anything that did not meet that standard was cut instead of printed.
Every answer was worked twice, independently, before it was printed. Every fact about the exam comes from g.a.s.t. and APS India, and where something has genuinely not been published, the book says so.
Who this is for
Anyone booked on the 26 September sitting with a fortnight or less to go
Engineering, commerce and business graduates applying for a German master's from Summer 2027 onward
Anyone who has read a great deal about the dMAT and practised almost none of it
Not for you if you are applying for a bachelor's or a PhD, or if you already hold an APS certificate. All three are exempt from the dMAT, and the book says so on its first pages rather than taking your money quietly.
One date exists
Registration closes 15 Sep 2026. The test is 26 Sep 2026. Results are published on 12 Oct 2026, and the certificate is valid indefinitely.
