Independent practice material
Exam practice for the Dutch and German integration exams
ExamenStart builds practice material for official exams that decide whether someone may work, study or live in a country. Every question is written by us on the basis of the publicly available official syllabus, and every question cites the law, article or learning objective it rests on — so you can check the reasoning yourself instead of taking our word for it.
The exam sites are in the language of their exam: the Dutch material is in Dutch, the German material is in German. Use the language selector at the top to switch.
What is available
What every exam site has in common
- Every answer explainedNot just right or wrong: the reason, plus the article, section or learning objective it comes from.
- Full mock examsTimed, in the same shape as the real exam, with a breakdown per theme and every mistake listed afterwards.
- Free to startA set number of questions per theme and one complete mock exam, without an account and without an email address.
- One price per examEach exam is sold separately. Buying one does not unlock another.
Where the questions come from
The official questions of these exams are not public. For the Dutch KNM exam, DUO publishes two practice exams; for the German AEVO exam the chamber of industry and commerce publishes a single sample set of 48 tasks. Neither comes with an explanation per question, and neither is a full question bank.
We do not copy, translate or reproduce any of that official material. Instead we write our own questions against the official syllabus and cite the source for each one, and we link to the official material so you can download it yourself.
What we do not promise
- No guarantee that you will pass. We do not know your exam and we do not know how your exam board marks an individual paper.
- No legal advice. The citations are evidence for a practice question, not an opinion on your situation.
- Not an official source. Always check the rules, fees and deadlines with the authority that runs your exam.
ExamenStart is an independent site. It is not connected to DUO, Cito, the Dutch Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment, the German chambers of industry and commerce, the German chambers of crafts or the German Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training.
