See the practice examsUnder the Wet inburgering 2021, B1 is the level of the B1-route. The B1 language exam has the same four parts as A2: reading, listening, writing and speaking. The texts are longer, the tasks ask more of you, and you get more time. On top of that you take KNM.
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.
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 was written or reviewed by a certified NT2 teacher. Nothing is invented by AI: the teacher decides what goes into an exam and whether it resembles what DUO asks.
