Question 4 / 30
Who is the head of state of the Netherlands?
Every question in our packs works like this: the Dutch as the exam gives it to you, the meaning in a language you already read.
There are five different Dutch exams and most people are told the wrong one. Three questions and you will know which is yours, what it costs, and where to register.
Where are you right now?
Why do you need Dutch?
What level do you need to reach?
Most people meet these exams one at a time, years apart. Seeing the whole road early makes each gate easier to plan for.
Before you move
A1
Three parts — KNS, Lezen, Spreken — taken at a Dutch embassy or consulate. You need this before the MVV application. €150 in total, €50 per part, results within eight weeks.
After you arrive
A2
Reading, listening, writing, speaking and KNM. This is the older route, the fallback level under the 2021 law, and the minimum for naturalisation.
The standard route
B1
The default under the Wet inburgering 2021. Same five parts, one level higher. Dropping back to A2 is only allowed after 600 hours of certified coursework.
For work and study
B1 / B2
Programma I for mbo 3–4. Programma II for hbo, university and professional registration. Four skills, no KNM.
Nearly every practice book in this market is written entirely in Dutch — for people who are, by definition, still learning Dutch. When you get a question wrong, the explanation of why is also in a language you cannot read yet.
We keep the exam material exactly as the exam gives it: Dutch, at the real level, at the real pace. Everything around it — the reasoning, the grammar note, the study plan — is available in English, French, Arabic and Turkish.
Original questions written to match each exam's format, difficulty and topic coverage. Instant download. Fourteen days to change your mind.
