Online Tools for Inburgering: Official Practice and a Simple Study Routine

Use official websites first. For the A1 basisexamen abroad, practise with Naar Nederland. For A2 and KNM, use the DUO practice exams on inburgeren.nl. For Staatsexamen NT2 B1/B2, use the official NT2 practice environment. Then add one or two simple tools for daily vocabulary, listening, writing or speaking practice. Do not let an app decide which exam you need: check Mijn Inburgering, your DUO letter or your PIP.

• Official practice is the safest starting point because it shows the real exam style better than social-media PDFs.
• A1 abroad, A2/KNM and NT2 B1/B2 use different official practice routes.
• Make computer-based practice on a computer or laptop when possible, especially for NT2 practice.
• Use extra tools for repetition: vocabulary, short listening, short writing, pronunciation and grammar review.
• Avoid apps that promise secret official questions or guaranteed pass results. Use named official materials, such as Naar Nederland or DUO practice, instead of random question packs.
• Keep the routine small. Two or three reliable tools used every week beat ten apps opened once.

The word inburgering can mean different exams. Choose the official practice route that matches your situation before you start collecting apps.

Extra tools can help a lot, but give each one a clear job. A flashcard app is good for repeating words. Easy Dutch news is good for listening and reading. A grammar site can explain one pattern. A speaking partner can help you answer without freezing. None of these tools replaces the official exam instructions.

• Inburgering.org: use the free exam practice hub for extra practice after you know your official route.
• Vocabulary: make small lists from your own mistakes, not huge lists of random words.
• Listening: choose short clips and listen twice; first for the main idea, then for details.
• Writing: practise practical messages, forms and short emails, then check one grammar point at a time.
• Speaking: record short answers and listen for clear pronunciation, complete sentences and silence.
• Grammar: study the problem you actually make this week, such as word order or past tense.

A small routine works better than a long list of apps. Pick one official practice route and two supporting tools, then repeat the same pattern for a few weeks.

• Monday: make 20 minutes of official practice and write down the hardest task.
• Tuesday and Wednesday: train the weak point with one extra tool.
• Thursday: repeat a short task without looking at your notes.
• Friday: review vocabulary and one grammar point from your mistakes.
• Weekend: make a longer practice block on a computer and decide the next weak point.

• Practising for A2 when your official route is NT2 B1/B2, or the other way around.
• Using only a phone when the real exam or official practice works better on a computer.
• Collecting PDFs without reviewing mistakes.
• Memorising sample answers instead of learning how to answer a new prompt.
• Paying for a tool before checking whether it matches your exam and level.

If you want one place to start, use our free exam practice hub. If you are still unsure which route applies to you, read which Dutch exam you need and then check Mijn Inburgering before you pay for anything.
