What This Summary Helps You Do

Use this summary before timed practice. It trains the B2 Lezen habit: text role first, question type second, evidence last.

Recognize whether a question needs global reading, paragraph comparison, close reading, or searching.

Find evidence across longer arguments, formal rules, examples, and exceptions.

Avoid traps around quoted opinions, paragraph roles, conditions, and overstated conclusions.

The official result is scaled. A score of 500 or higher passes; recent public exams needed around 25 correct answers, but the raw number can vary.

Exam timing

0-4 min

Scan the booklet

Look at the six texts, the question counts, and which final text is search-heavy.

4-76 min

Read the context and questions first. For each question, decide whether you need the whole argument, one paragraph, or one sentence.

76-94 min

Navigate the final text

For the long guide or regulation text, use headings, section numbers, amounts, and keywords before reading sentences closely.

94-100 min

Final check

Answer every question. Only change an answer when you can point to stronger evidence.

Reading strategy

Text Types, Questions, And Traps

Texts You Should Recognize Fast

B2 Lezen uses substantial texts from work, education, public life, and formal guides. The final text is often best handled by searching.

  • Work texts: advice articles, staff guides, selection procedures, leadership, workplace communication, and policy changes.
  • Education texts: reflective articles, study-book sections, program descriptions, academic rules, research summaries, and university websites.
  • Persuasive or opinion texts: an argument with examples, objections, and a careful conclusion.
  • Descriptive texts: a concept, program, organization, or strategy explained through definitions and examples.
  • Reflective texts: a topic is weighed from different sides rather than simply promoted.
  • Search-heavy guides: numbered rules, contact routes, amounts, deadlines, rights, duties, and exceptions.

Question Types That Come Back Often

B2 questions often ask you to understand a paragraph's role, the writer's intention, the relation between ideas, or a condition hidden in a formal text.

  • What is meant by this sentence or phrase?
  • Why does the writer mention this example?
  • Which conclusion follows from this paragraph?
  • What is the writer's main purpose?
  • Which statement matches the text exactly?
  • Which option best summarizes the paragraph?
  • Which heading or section answers this person's question?
  • Which condition, exception, or procedure applies in this situation?

Guides, Regulations, And Long Search Texts

The last B2 text often rewards precise navigation through formal information. Do not read it from start to finish before the questions.

  • Read the person's situation first and mark the keyword: ziekmelding, dossier, vergoeding, klacht, ruilen, gift, incident, or deadline.
  • Use headings, article numbers, bold labels, tables, and contact details as navigation.
  • Check whether an exception changes the rule for the person in the question.
  • For amounts and deadlines, read the sentence before and after the number.
  • For obligations, notice the difference between must report, may request, can be approved, and is not allowed.

Common Traps

B2 traps often use a true detail in the wrong argumentative role, an overstated conclusion, or a missed limitation.

  • Choosing a detail that is true but only illustrates the main point.
  • Treating a quoted person as if the writer agrees completely.
  • Missing a contrast after however, although, on the other hand, or at the same time.
  • Ignoring that a rule applies only if all conditions are met.
  • Choosing the broadest answer when the question asks about one paragraph.
  • Using outside knowledge about work or university rules instead of the text.

Worked examples

Original B2 Exam Examples

Worked Example 1: Work Instruction

Context: A learner reads advice about making team meetings more useful.

Besluiten nemen in plaats van alleen praten

Veel teams vergaderen elke week, maar ontdekken aan het einde dat vooral informatie is uitgewisseld. Volgens organisatieadviseur Mira Smit komt dat doordat agendapunten vaak worden ingebracht zonder duidelijk doel.

Zij adviseert medewerkers om bij elk agendapunt vooraf te formuleren wat er na de bespreking anders moet zijn. Gaat het om informeren, kiezen, advies vragen of een probleem oplossen? Pas als dat helder is, kan de voorzitter bepalen hoeveel tijd nodig is en wie zich moet voorbereiden.

Smit waarschuwt wel dat een strakke agenda geen doel op zich is. Een vergadering mag ruimte laten voor twijfel, mits duidelijk blijft welk besluit uiteindelijk genomen moet worden.

Vraag. Waarom moeten medewerkers volgens Smit het doel van een agendapunt formuleren?

Vraag. Wat zegt Smit over een strakke agenda?

Worked Example 2: Search Text

Context: A learner reads a short staff guide.

Ziekmelding en roosterwijziging

Bent u ziek op een werkdag? Bel dan voor 08.00 uur de planner. Een bericht via e-mail of chat is niet voldoende.

Heeft u dezelfde dag een afspraak met een client, dan belt u ook de teamleider. Die beslist of de afspraak wordt verplaatst of door een collega wordt overgenomen.

Een dienst ruilen kan alleen via het roosterportaal. Dien uw verzoek minstens 48 uur van tevoren in. De ruil is pas geldig nadat de coordinator deze heeft goedgekeurd.

Vraag. Noor is ziek en heeft om 10.00 uur een clientafspraak. Wat moet zij doen?

Vraag. Wanneer is een geruilde dienst geldig?

Before exam day

Final Checklist

  • I read the context line, title, headings, and questions before slow reading.
  • I know whether the question asks for purpose, role, detail, inference, opinion, condition, or summary.
  • I can point to the exact Dutch sentence, heading, table detail, or exception that supports my answer.
  • I separate the writer's view from examples, quotes, objections, and background information.
  • I watch for however, although, unless, provided that, except, at the same time, and therefore.
  • I use headings and section numbers for the final search text.
  • I answer every question before the 100 minutes are finished.
