Question 1

What is DutchExam?

Accepted Answer

DutchExam is an online practice platform for the Dutch Inburgering exam. It covers Reading, Listening, Writing, Speaking, and KNM with AI-powered feedback for writing and speaking practice.

Question 2

What is the difference between A2 and B1?

Accepted Answer

A2 covers basic everyday Dutch and is the standard requirement for most integration routes. B1 is part of the Inburgering 2021 programme and requires a higher level of language proficiency. Your required level depends on your integration route. Always confirm with DUO or your municipality.

Question 3

Is B1 Inburgering the same as Staatsexamen NT2?

Accepted Answer

No. The B1 Inburgering exam (Inburgering 2021) is a separate exam from the Staatsexamen NT2. They are different exams with different formats, even though both assess language at B1 level.

Question 4

What's the difference between Free and Pro?

Accepted Answer

The Free plan includes a limited number of tests and daily AI feedback limits. The Pro plan unlocks additional tests, detailed analytics, and extended AI assistant usage.

Question 5

Do I get a certificate from DutchExam?

Accepted Answer

No. DutchExam is a practice platform. It provides results and progress tracking to help you prepare, but official certification comes only from passing the Inburgering exam administered by DUO (Dienst Uitvoering Onderwijs).

Question 6

How is the Inburgering exam scored?

Accepted Answer

Each section is scored separately using criteria set by DUO. You must meet the official pass threshold for each section. DUO determines the exact scoring methodology. DutchExam does not replicate the official scoring process.

Question 7

How do the AI Writing and Speaking assistants work?

Accepted Answer

The AI Writing Assistant analyses your written text and provides feedback on grammar, structure, and vocabulary. The AI Speaking Assistant transcribes your recorded spoken response and analyses pronunciation, fluency, and content. Both are practice tools — their feedback is approximate and does not replicate official DUO scoring.

Question 8

How accurate is the AI feedback?

Accepted Answer

The AI feedback is designed to help you identify areas for improvement in grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and structure. It provides a useful approximation but may not match official DUO scoring exactly. Use it as a learning tool alongside your overall preparation.

Question 9

Can I use DutchExam on any device?

Accepted Answer

Yes. DutchExam works on desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. For speaking practice, you need a device with a microphone.

Question 10

How is my progress tracked?

Accepted Answer

Pro users have access to detailed progress tracking across sections. Free users receive basic scores after each test. Your dashboard shows your activity and test history.
