Official A2 Inburgering (Civic Integration) Practice Exams: 15 DUO Mocks

Use DUO's official A2 practice exams for the inburgeringsexamen (civic integration exam). DUO provides three Writing PDFs, three Speaking mocks, three Listening mocks, four Reading mocks and two Kennis van de Nederlandse Maatschappij (KNM, knowledge of Dutch society) mocks. DUO recommends a desktop computer. Its Speaking practice does not work in Safari.

Your Persoonlijk Plan Inburgering en Participatie (PIP, personal integration and participation plan) or Mijn Inburgering shows whether A2 is part of your route. Check either source before you practise.

• DUO's A2 practice page is the official directory. Return there if a direct mock link changes.
• The current directory contains 15 mocks across five exam parts: Writing, Speaking, Listening, Reading and KNM.
• DUO recommends a desktop computer. If you use a phone or tablet, rotate the device.
• DUO says its Speaking practice does not work in Safari. Open those three mocks in another browser.
• The official mocks come first. Inburgering.org resources later in this guide are extra, non-official practice.
• Your PIP or Mijn Inburgering shows whether A2 is part of your exam route.

Your required exams depend on the integration law that applies to you. Under the Civic Integration Act 2021 (Wet inburgering 2021), your municipality records your route and required exams in your PIP. You can also see them in Mijn Inburgering. Under the 2013 Act, your required exams depend on when your integration duty began. Mijn Inburgering shows your required exams and level.

Read the A2 inburgeringsexamen guide if you need the full route, registration and results overview. This page stays focused on the official A2 mock directory and a practice workflow.

Keep at least one official mock unused until the final stage. Use it after you have studied the gaps from your first attempt.

1. Diagnose: take one official mock for each required part. Record the tasks, words and instructions that slowed you down.
2. Train: use a skill summary, focused exercises and regular Dutch study to work on one recorded gap at a time.
3. Check: take a different official mock on a desktop computer. Compare the same problem areas with your first attempt.
