How the listening exam works

In the Luisteren (listening) exam you watch short videos and listen to conversations and announcements: at the doctor, at work, on the phone. Each fragment comes with two or three multiple-choice questions. You hear a fragment once, so you have to listen carefully the first time.

DUO's own practice exams for A2 have 25 questions in 45 minutes. DUO does not publish an official count; this is what the start screen of their practice exams shows.

How you practise here

Our ten Luisteren A2 practice exams are recorded by different voices at the pace of the real exam. After every question you get the teacher's explanation, and you can replay the fragment to hear what you missed.

Frequently asked questions

Can I replay a fragment in the real exam?

No, in DUO's exam you hear every fragment once. Our practice exams work the same way during the exam; after you answer, you may listen again.

Is practice exam 1 really free?

Yes. With a free account you take practice exam 1 in full, with explanations. Practice exams 2 to 10 are in the Luisteren module.

Do I need headphones?

They help. The conversations have background noise, and headphones make the details easier to catch. In the real exam you get headphones too.
