Question 2

Are the practice exams like the real exam?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The question types, the structure of the parts and the timed format follow the format of the Dutch civic integration exam. For a full rehearsal of exam day, also try the real exam simulation: three parts one after another, in Dutch only.

Question 3

Can I take the same practice exam again?

Accepted Answer

As often as you like. Each practice exam is a fixed set of questions; taking it again lets you measure your progress. Questions repeat as little as possible between practice exams, so different practice exams give you different questions.

Question 4

How does the speaking part work?

Accepted Answer

You listen to the question in Dutch and say your answer into the microphone. You can listen to your recording and record it again if you like. On the results page you compare it with sample answers and, if you wish, request an assessment by an instructor. All you need to do is allow microphone access in your browser.

Question 5

How many correct answers do I need to pass the KNS and Lezen practice exams?

Accepted Answer

In our practice exams, 21 out of 30 questions for KNS and 14 out of 19 questions for Lezen count as a pass. For the current rules of the official exam, follow the announcements of DUO.

Question 6

Can I take them on a phone or tablet?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All practice exams work on phones, tablets and computers; your answers are saved instantly, and you can continue an unfinished practice exam on another device.
