In the Spreken (speaking) exam you talk to the computer. You see a video or a picture, hear a question and answer out loud. You say what someone is doing, what you would do, or you explain something. Your answer is recorded.

DUO's own practice exams for B1 have 16 questions in 30 minutes.

How you practise here

Our ten Spreken B1 practice exams work exactly like that: you record your answer in the browser. Then you get feedback against the teacher's rubric and listen to a model answer, so you hear what a good answer sounds like.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to speak perfect Dutch?

No. At A2 what counts is that you can be understood and that you answer the question. A verb mistake does not cost you the question; no answer at all does.

Is practice exam 1 really free?

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

Does recording work on my phone?

Yes, in the browser of your phone, tablet or computer. Nothing to install. Do practise on a laptop at least once: the real exam is taken on a computer.
