U belt de woonstichting over een reparatie.

De medewerker vraagt: wanneer bent u thuis?

A model answer

Ik ben doordeweeks vanaf vier uur ’s middags thuis, en op vrijdag de hele dag. Dinsdagochtend kan ik niet, want dan werk ik.

You record your own answer; it comes back marked against the published criteria.

Ik ___ in Nederland.

A real marked answer

This is what comes back.

Real output of this marking engine, on writing at about B1.

What the candidate wrote

Wij hebben de kaart nodig want het is moeilijk.

The main error

This does not explain why this specific card helps with your mother's limitation.

What they should have written

Mijn moeder kan niet goed lopen, daarom helpt een gehandicaptenparkeerkaart omdat we dan dichtbij de ingang kunnen parkeren.

The official criterion applied

Adequacy: did the answer do what was asked 1 of 3

What most candidates run into

Reading and listening you can practise alone. Writing and speaking you cannot.

Those are the two parts a person marks, against a published prescription, and they are exactly the two where practising on your own tells you nothing about whether you passed.

What this does about it

Every answer you write or record comes back marked, with the sentence you should have written.

The criteria are the published ones, not ours. Every judgement quotes the words you actually wrote, so you can check it yourself.

How it works

Three steps, and the first one is free and takes three minutes.

Find your level

Reading and listening questions, and a result that says Programma I, Programma II, or not yet. No account and no email.

Get the route to your date

One session a day, already chosen for you and weighted towards the things you get wrong, paced against the day you sit the exam.

Sit the mock before the real one

A full timed sitting on the published format: each part on its own clock, and the listening audio plays once, the way it does on the day.

The path

The same four parts at the level you are actually sitting, and a full sitting at the end of it.

Programma I · B1

B1 foundations

Lezen, Luisteren, Schrijven and Spreken at the level asked for work and for mbo-3 or mbo-4 training.

Programma II · B2

B2 practice

The same four parts at the level asked for hbo or university study. You do not have to pass I before sitting II.

Exam simulation

The full timed sitting

Each part sat on its own, on the real clock, in the order the four examinations are actually taken.

Built for candidates starting from scratch

Made for a phone

Short sessions built for the ten minutes you actually have, not an evening you do not.

Real recorded Dutch

Listening fragments with two voices and a real pace, played once, the way the examination plays them.

Writing marked, not ticked

Grammar, word choice, spelling and cohesion, band by band, with your own sentence quoted back.

Speaking marked too

Record an answer on the phone in your hand and the same published criteria are applied to it.

Paced to your exam date

You give us the date. A readiness figure moves against it and says "on track" or "not on this pace".

Nothing invented here

The format and the criteria come from published sources, and every guide links to the page that states it.

Questions

Do I need an account to try it?

No. The three-minute level test and the correction box on this page both work as a guest. An account is only for keeping your progress across devices.

Is the correction really free?

Yes. A free account marks two more pieces of your writing or speaking. Full access costs €39, once.

How does the marking work?

It applies the published assessment criteria to your answer and quotes the words you wrote, so you can check it. This is practice, not an official mark.

What does "ready on my date" mean?

You give us your exam date, and a readiness figure moves against it as you work. The answer is "on track" or "not on this pace".

Is this the official examination?

No. It is an independent practice service. Nothing on this site is reproduced from an examination paper, and this site awards nothing and cannot register you for anything.

Before you book

Three things worth reading, none of them behind a payment.

Guides

How the examination actually works

Two programmes, four parts booked separately, the pass mark of 500, and the listening audio that plays once.
