I must say right away that I have not taken any of this yet and am trying to figure it out based on reviews and exam samples.
Why is it needed, because visa problems are solved by level B1? B2 level exams may be needed to study not at the university, but at educational institutions of a lower rank. Exam B2-C1 "Medicine" is needed for physicians. Exams for C1 are a more specific level, it is needed mainly only for admission to universities (or for some particularly corrosive employer who is trying to cut off unwanted job seekers by demanding a piece of paper with C1). I would say that even if a piece of paper, in fact, is not really needed, passing the exam is useful because the preparation structures knowledge well.
In Germany, they mostly take tests from the Goethe-Institut B2 or C1 or Telc tests. Those who want to study at universities take either DSH or TestDaF - other certificates are usually not accepted. Recently, a new exam from Tels C1 Hochschule has been actively trying to get to these two, but its "acceptability" by universities is in question.
As the Deusch Test für Zuwanderer (DTZ,) already discussed, some of the exams for higher levels are also stepped: depending on the results shown, you can get both level B2 and level C1, or something in between. The Goethe-Institut tests go on separate levels, Telc tests are both individual and stepped (Beruf, Medizin), DSH and TestDaF are stepped. Each exam has its own characteristics and easy / difficult tasks and its own grading system. Therefore, one person can pass one test and fail another at the same level.
The average opinion for the hospital is that at level B2 Telk is easier than Goethe (as well as at level B1), and at level C1 the complexity is distributed in ascending order as follows: Goethe, Telk, DSH, DaF. In the Volkshochschule and the courses from the Arbeitsamt, they usually give Telk, but sometimes also Goethe.
Differences in levels (again, the average opinion of the hospital). B2 differs from B1 by doubling the required vocabulary, there are not so many new topics in terms of grammar - those topics that were previously covered "as a whole" and superficially are deepened (a lot of attention to different types of complex sentences, adjectives, passive). C1 is distinguished by digging in style (you need to know synonyms for words), requirements for the use of formal expressions (typical phrases for discussions, descriptions of graphs and tables) and the need to use complex constructions of the literary language (subjunctive, passive in different forms and alternative passive constructions, nominal constructions - the ability to convert them into verbs and vice versa, indirect speech).
Goethe B2 and Telk B2
Goethe B2 changes from next year 2019. The old exam will be accepted until the end of the year or until the middle of the next - depending on the place of delivery. Apparently, there will be problems with books for preparation, as publishers will not have time to react so quickly. Data for the new exam.
Telk can be retaken in parts, Goethe, perhaps, too.

Telc B2-C1 Beruf
The texts and tasks of the test are business-oriented (the word Beruf implies professional activity in general, but the tasks are such that not every working person can cope, since it has nothing to do with this at all, i.e. I would define the exam as intended for business - sales , marketing, etc.).

DHS
This test is prepared and conducted by universities, focusing on the general structure and rules of the exam. Therefore, there may be universities that do not accept the results of a test taken at another university, although recently the universities seem to have agreed on the mutual recognition of test results. The complexity of the test differs from university to university. In some places the number of retakes is limited. Not everyone is allowed to take the exam - each university has its own access rules. Many universities post samples of their tests online. A convenient option is to enroll for the test preparation semester, which makes it possible to be considered a student and the oral part can be counted.
The exam is considered to be easier than the DaF in the "speaking" part, as you need to communicate with the examiner. On the other hand, it has a grammatical part that is not in DaF.
Test level - B2 - C1, for admission to a university you need to get an average level of DHS 2. Points are calculated for the entire exam on average, and not separately in parts, but some universities do not allow the second part of the exam if the first is not passed to level 2, or do not issue a certificate if the second part fails.
Test example.
1. Reading and grammar 90 minutes (60 and 30 minutes respectively)
Leseverstein. This is a text on 3 A4 pages followed by a block of tasks (add sentences, answer questions in full sentences, choose a title).
Grammatik or Wissenschaftssprachliche Strukturen. Consists of 5 blocks, each with 2-3 questions. For example:

TestDaF (Test Deutsch als Fremdsprache)
This is an old, stable test that has many reviews, preparation books, and examples. Test results are accepted at all universities. Compared to the DSH test, many consider this test more difficult, since the oral part is slandered on a computer microphone at the same time as other test takers in the same room and each part of the exam is scored separately, rather than an average mark is displayed. Some universities in Germany are guided by the average score of this test, others do not accept its results if at least one part has a grade of 3. On the other hand, the test is standard, it is taken more often than the DHS, it is not tied to a particular university and is taken not only in Germany but also beyond.
The test covers the material of levels B2 - C1. A person who has received TDN3 (TestDaF-Niveaustufe 3) is considered to have a level of B2, TDN4 - between B2 and C1, TDN5 - full C1.
The test can be repeated any number of times. The certificate is not limited in time, but universities may have their own opinion on this if the student does not live in a German-speaking country.
1. Reading 60 minutes
2. Listening 40 minutes
Listen to the text once (taking notes), write answers to the questions. Listen to the second task 1 time, answer yes / no. The third text - twice, write the answers to the questions.
3. Writing 60 minutes
Description of a graph or diagram, expressing your opinion on this issue.
4. Oral part 30 minutes
Answers to questions on situations are dictated to the microphone (7 situations, from everyday ones (recording somewhere, answering a friend on a certain topic) to the need to speak out on a discussion topic).
Telc C1 Hochschule
A new exam that claims to be recognized for study at universities (which must be checked at each individual university). The structure is the same as in the Telk C1 exam, but scientific topics and topics related to student life are chosen. In the "Letter" part, you need to speak on quotes. In the oral part, a short report (preparation on one of the proposed topics - 20 minutes) and a discussion on a quote.
Like other languages, German also has levels. Which are evaluated by a single European system.
Assessed: listening comprehension, reading, speaking and writing. In fact, everything just knowledge of the language is assessed in 3 steps with two sub steps: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2.
Now let's look at each of the steps in more detail.
All levels of German:
First stage level A1 on which are all who have just begun to learn German, i.e. This survival rate
Assumes you have little knowledge of the German language. You already know a small number of initial words and understand very simple or partially understand simple phrases in slow speech. You can ask your interlocutor simple questions: Where are you from? Where do you work? etc. When reading the text in German, it remains incomprehensible to you. You can recognize in the text only a few familiar words that you have learned before.
Level A2:
Assumes that you already have the basic concepts. You understand what is being said in simple, single phrases. Recognize frequently used words in sentences. You can already tell about yourself, talk about popular topics such as: shopping, work. You already understand German short texts and can write simple short messages.

Level C2:
Your knowledge is at the level of native German speakers.
How to quickly learn German to level B2:
AT " orange book» approaches to ranking information systems according to the degree of reliability (security) are determined.
For the first time, four levels of confidence have been introduced in the criteria - D, C, B and BUT, which are divided into classes. There are only six security classes - C1, С2, В1, В2, ВЗ, А1(listed in order of severity).
Level A has the highest security. Each class expands or supplements the requirements specified in the previous class and represents a significant difference in the trust of individual users or organizations.
As you move from level With to BUT ever more stringent requirements are placed on the reliability of systems. Levels C and B are subdivided into classes ( С1, С2, В1, В2, ВЗ) with a gradual increase in reliability. Thus, in total, six safety classes are practically used - С1, С2, В1, В2, ВЗ, А1. In order for a system to be assigned to a certain class as a result of the certification procedure, its security policy and warranty must satisfy the following requirements. Since the requirements are only added during the transition to each next class, only new ones are additionally entered, which is inherent in this class, grouping the requirements in accordance with the previous presentation.
Each security class includes a set of requirements, taking into account security policy elements and assurance requirements.
Level D
This level is intended for systems that are considered unsatisfactory.
Level C
Otherwise, arbitrary access control.
Class C1
The security policy and level of assurance for a given class must meet the following critical requirements:
the trusted computing base must manage the access of named users to named objects;
users must identify themselves, and authentication information must be protected from unauthorized access;
the trusted computing base must maintain an area for its own execution, protected from external influences;
hardware or software must be available to periodically check the correct functioning of the hardware and firmware components of the trusted computing base;
protection mechanisms must be tested (there are no ways to bypass or destroy the protections of the trusted computing base);
the approach to security and its application in the implementation of a trusted computing base should be described.
Class C2
(in addition to C1):
access rights must be granular to the user. All objects must be subject to access control.
When a stored object is allocated from the resource pool of the trusted computing base, all traces of its use must be eliminated.
each user of the system must be uniquely identified. Each logged action must be associated with a specific user.
the trusted computing base must create, maintain, and protect a log of logging information relating to access to objects controlled by the base.
testing should confirm the absence of obvious weaknesses in the mechanisms for isolating resources and protecting registration information.
Level B
Also called forced access control.
Class B1
(in addition to C2):
the trusted computing base must manage the security labels associated with each subject and stored object.
the trusted computing base must ensure the implementation of forced access control of all subjects to all stored objects.
the trusted computing base must ensure the mutual isolation of processes by separating their address spaces.
a group of specialists who fully understand the implementation of a trusted computing base must subject the architecture description, source and object codes to thorough analysis and testing.
there must be an informal or formal model of the security policy supported by the trusted computing base.
Class B2
(in addition to IN 1):
all system resources should be labeled (for example, ROM), directly or indirectly available to subjects.
to the trusted computing base, a trusted communication path must be maintained for the user performing the initial identification and authentication operations.
it should be possible to register events related to the organization of secret channels of exchange with memory.
the trusted computing base must be internally structured into well-defined, relatively independent modules.
the system architect must carefully analyze the possibilities of organizing covert memory exchange channels and evaluate the maximum throughput of each identified channel.
the relative resistance of the trusted computing base to penetration attempts must be demonstrated.
the security policy model should be formal. A trusted computing base must have top-level descriptive specifications that accurately and completely define its interface.
in the process of developing and maintaining a trusted computing base, a configuration management system should be used to control changes in top-level descriptive specifications, other architectural data, implementation documentation, source code, a working version of the object code, test data and documentation.
tests should confirm the effectiveness of measures to reduce the throughput of covert information transmission channels.
VZ class
(in addition to IN 2):
1) for arbitrary access control, access control lists indicating the allowed modes must be used.
Level A
It is called verifiable security. Class A1
(in addition to EOI): 1) testing must demonstrate that the implementation of the trusted computing base conforms to the formal top-level specifications.
in addition to descriptive, formal top-level specifications should be presented. It is necessary to use modern methods of formal specification and verification of systems.
The configuration management mechanism should cover the entire life cycle and all security related components of the system.
the correspondence between formal top-level specifications and source code must be described.
If you are learning Russian and want to:
- test your own knowledge and motivate yourself for further study of the Russian language;
