Checked by a certified NT2 teacherWhat is the Dutch A2 inburgering exam?
The inburgering exam at A2 consists of four language exams: Lezen (reading), Luisteren (listening), Schrijven (writing) and Spreken (speaking). You take them separately, often on different days, and you pass them separately. On top of that you take KNM, the exam about Dutch society. At the time of writing each part costs 50 euros at DUO.
DUO publishes how long each part takes, but not the number of questions and not how many you need to get right. The numbers below come from the start screens of DUO's own practice exams. The guide on the language exams explains the format in more detail.
How you practise for the A2 exam here
For every part there are ten practice exams with the same structure, the same number of tasks and the same time as DUO. In reading and listening you see after every question whether you were right, with an explanation. In writing and speaking you get feedback against the teacher's rubric and a model answer.
Every task is drafted with the help of AI and then fully checked by a certified NT2 teacher. She decides what goes into an exam and whether it resembles what DUO asks.
