Are there official dMAT information videos, and what do they show?
Yes. g.a.s.t. hosts official information videos on the digital form of the dMAT at d-mat.de, alongside the written preparatory materials. The videos show the test's on-screen interface and navigation, while the PDF materials cover content and rules, preparing you for both what is asked and how to navigate it.
Yes, official dMAT information videos exist, and you will find them at d-mat.de rather than inside the written preparatory materials. They are worth watching because they show you the digital test interface itself, which is a different kind of preparation from learning the content and rules through the PDF document.
Written Materials vs Information Videos
| Resource | Format | What It Shows You |
|---|---|---|
| Preparatory materials | Written document | Instructions, rules, timing, worked examples and graded practice exercises |
| Information videos | Video, hosted at d-mat.de | The digital test's on-screen interface and how navigation between questions looks |
How to Use Both Resources Together
- Work through the written materials first to understand what each task type is asking of you and how the rules work.
- Watch the information videos once you already know the content, so you can focus purely on how the interface presents that content on screen.
- Watch the videos again in your final week of preparation, close to test day, so the click-through experience feels familiar rather than new.

My Advice
Do not skip the videos just because they are not the "real" study material. Walking into an unfamiliar digital interface under exam pressure wastes minutes you cannot get back, so give the videos fifteen focused minutes in your last week and remove that surprise entirely.
