Who takes the A2 exam?
It depends on when your inburgering started and the route your municipality gave you. Check your situation on our exam finder.
Are the questions in Dutch?
Yes. The exam is in Dutch, so the practice is too. Only the explanations and the app around them are in your language.
Is Kora from DUO or the government?
No. Kora is independent. It has no connection to DUO, CvTE or the IND.
Can Kora tell me if I will pass?
No. Nobody can see the real exam in advance. Kora shows what you practiced and what you got right, so you can decide when to book your exam.
