This test gives an indication based on grammar, vocabulary and reading. It is not an official exam and does not lead to a diploma or certificate. We determine your final starting level together in the free intake.
Questions about the level test
How do I know which level suits me?
Take the free online level test: within 10 minutes you see your level and which course suits you. In the free intake interview we then determine your final starting level and goals together.
Are the level test and the intake really free?
Yes. The online level test and the intake interview are free and you are not committed to anything. You only pay if you decide to take a course.
How accurate is the online level test?
The test gives a good first indication based on grammar, vocabulary and reading. Speaking and writing cannot be tested fairly online; a teacher assesses them in the free intake, where you determine your final starting level together.
Do I get a certificate or diploma from the level test?
No. The level test helps you choose the right course. You only get an official diploma after an official exam, such as the civic integration exam or the State Exam NT2. Those exams are administered by the Dutch government, not by TaalPro.
Where can I find free practice exams?
The government offers free practice exams, without logging in: for the civic integration exam A2 and KNM on inburgeren.nl, for the State Exam NT2 on oefenexamensnt2.nl and for the exam abroad on naarnederland.nl. All links and tips are in the guide Free practice exams. Want to know where you stand first? Take the free level test.
