FAQ
What is the inburgeringsexamen?
The inburgeringsexamen (Dutch civic integration exam) is a set of tests required for most non-EU/EEA residents in the Netherlands to prove Dutch language ability and knowledge of Dutch society. It covers Reading, Listening, Writing, Speaking, and Knowledge of Dutch Society (KNM), usually at A2 level, sometimes B1.
Do I need A2 or B1 level?
Most people take the inburgering exam at A2 level. DUO can require B1 depending on your integration route. inburgeringprep.com covers both levels.
How much does the inburgering exam cost?
Each of the five official DUO exams costs around €50, so around €250 total if you take them all. Retakes are charged again per attempt, which is why practising until you’re confident matters.
Is the inburgering exam in English?
No. The exam itself is entirely in Dutch. inburgeringprep.com’s platform and instructions are in English, but every practice question and exam task is in real exam-format Dutch, so you train for what you’ll actually see.
Does inburgeringprep.com grade writing and speaking automatically?
Yes. AI grading gives instant feedback on writing and speaking — the two sections that are hardest to practice without a teacher.
Is inburgeringprep.com free?
The first 10 practice items per exam section are free. Full access to all papers and AI grading is available on a Pro subscription.
How is inburgeringprep.com different from DUO’s own oefenexamens?
DUO’s official practice exams are useful but limited in number and give no personalised feedback. inburgeringprep.com adds a much larger practice bank, a full timed exam simulator, and AI grading on writing and speaking, which DUO’s free materials don’t offer.
What happens if I don’t pass a section?
You can retake individual exam sections as many times as needed; each attempt has its own DUO fee. Practicing with realistic mock exams beforehand is the main way to reduce the number of retakes you need.
