Who needs B1?
People on the B1 route, and anyone who needs B1 Dutch for work or study. Check your situation on our exam finder.
How do B1 writing and speaking work?
You type or say your answer, like on the real exam. Kora marks it on the official criteria and shows what to fix. Pronunciation is not marked yet.
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.
