Will my dMAT score appear on my APS certificate?

Yes, your dMAT score appears on the APS certificate issued via g.a.s.t. Since every university that receives your APS documents sees the same certificate, you cannot hide a weaker result from some applications. The score travels with your file to every programme you apply to.

Yes, your dMAT result is printed directly on the APS certificate that g.a.s.t. issues, and that certificate goes out with your application to every German university you apply to. There is no version of the certificate that omits or masks the score for a particular application.

The Practical Consequence

Because the same certificate reaches every programme on your list, you cannot sit the dMAT again just to try for a better number in front of a specific university, and you cannot choose which admissions committees see your result. Every reader of your APS file sees the same figure.

My Advice

Since the score is permanent and visible everywhere, put in real preparation before the 26 September sitting rather than treating it as a formality you can redo later. One focused month of practice on the core module task types is worth far more than hoping for a second attempt.
