News on the aptitude tests for the winter semester 2020/21
1. Postponement of the dates
Due to the current developments regarding the corona virus, several aptitude test dates had to be postponed.
2. Freiversuchsregelung
According to our “Eignungsprüfungsordnung” (aptitude test regulations) of 31.10.2016 in the version of 25.05.2020 you can only repeat the aptitude test once, i.e. you have two attempts in total. Due to the various difficulties that applicants face because of the corona pandemic, the HfMDK has exceptionally introduced a so-called “free shot regulation” for the aptitude test in the summer semester 2020. This means that your participation in the test has no effect on the number of possible attempts to participate. Therefore, if you are taking the aptitude test for the first time, you will have two more attempts if you fail. If you are taking the test for the second time, you will still have one more attempt if you fail.
