The exam

What the Dutch inburgering exam involves

The inburgering exam shows that you can use enough Dutch and that you know how Dutch society works. It is required for your integration and for many residence purposes. It is run by DUO, under the Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment (SZW).

What are the parts of the inburgering exam?

There are five parts, and this app practises all of them.

  • Lezen (Reading): multiple-choice questions on everyday texts.
  • Luisteren (Listening): questions on short conversations and announcements.
  • Schrijven (Writing): short messages, letters and forms.
  • Spreken (Speaking): talking and responding in short everyday situations.
  • KNM: Knowledge of Dutch Society, over eight themes.

What level do you need for inburgering?

For integration and most residence purposes the required level is A2 of the Common European Framework (CEFR). The KNM questions are also written in simple A2 Dutch. This app practises at A2. (A higher B1 route runs through the Staatsexamen NT2; always check which level applies to your own situation.)

What score do you need to pass?

DUO does not publish the exact number of questions or the raw pass mark for each part; an exam committee decides whether you pass or fail. Because there is no public cut-score, this app uses its own realistic pass mark for mock tests so you can track progress. Treat it as practice, not the official standard.

Which topics does KNM cover?

KNM covers eight official themes: work and income, manners/values and norms, housing, health and healthcare, history and geography, official bodies (instanties), how the country is governed and the rule of law, and education and upbringing.

Are these the official DUO exam questions?

No. The official exam materials are protected and are not reproduced here. Every question, audio clip, passage, model answer and flashcard in this app is written from scratch to match the publicly documented format and A2 level of the inburgering exam, with a Dutch and English explanation for each answer.
