The dMAT consists of two modules: a core module and a subject module.
The core module measures general study aptitude and consists of three subtests testing general cognitive skills.
The subject modules measure subject-specific aptitude. For this purpose, the subject knowledge acquired during previous studies and the ability to apply this knowledge are tested. The tasks consist of a combination of a typical problem and related questions. The dMAT therefore requires specialised knowledge and application skills, but not purely memorised factual knowledge.
The duration of the examination is three and a half hours with a break between the examination modules.
