Exam instrument · Inburgering A2

Don't book your exam until the numbers say you're ready.

Slagen is not a language journey. It's a deadline machine for the Dutch inburgering exams: built around your booked date, calibrated on your official DUO practice scores, honest enough to tell you to move the date — or to stop preparing and go pass.

Why readiness is money · facts dated 2026-07-16

The cheapest exam is the one you take once.

Every inburgering exam part costs its own fee, every retake costs it again — plus at least two weeks of waiting for a new slot and up to eight weeks for results. Slots in busy regions fill months ahead. Guessing whether you're ready is the expensive habit.

The instrument, uncropped

Three parts. No feed, no fluff, no forever.

01 · DEADLINE MACHINE

Your date runs the app

Set the booked exam date and your real free minutes. Slagen prices your ambition — pass (65%), solid (80%), excellent (92%) — into a daily contract that fits your actual life, and tells you when it doesn't fit.

02 · CALIBRATION

Anchored to official scores

Once a week you sit an official DUO practice exam (we link them; we never copy them) and log your score. Readiness recalibrates on ground truth — and shows the delta even when it's unflattering. An estimate you can trust because it's allowed to disagree with you.

03 · EXAM-TRUE TRAINING

Drills that feel like the exam

Natural Dutch voices at exam pace. Mock exams that play audio once, like the real player. Scores in the exam's own …/25 language. Mistakes become tomorrow's lesson automatically.

Honesty as a feature

An app that will tell you to leave.

Subscriptions earn more the longer you stay unready. Slagen is one-time, so our incentives point the same way yours do: at the exit. Each week the instrument gives you one verdict and one job.

READY

"Book it. Stop preparing." When your official practice scores clear the gate, more studying is procrastination with a clean conscience.

ON TRACK

"One thing this week." Not a dashboard of guilt — the single highest-value fix, chosen from your own mistakes.

BEHIND

"Consider moving the date." Said early, with the numbers on the table — while rebooking is still cheap. No app that bills monthly will ever say this to you.

Readiness is an estimate based on your practice data — not a guarantee of an exam result. It's decision support; the decision stays yours.

Open receipts

Built inside the exam, not above it.

Slagen's maker sits the Luisteren A2 exam on 17 August 2026 — prepared exclusively with this app and the official practice exams. The scores below are real, logged as they happen, published win or lose. That's the standard of honesty the app holds you to; it would be strange to hold ourselves to less.

Next checkpoint: official practice exam #2, Sunday 26 July. This page updates after every checkpoint.

What's inside · counts as of 2026-07-16

Deep where the exam is deep. Empty where it isn't.

LUISTEREN

90 listening items · 10 themes

Dialogues with natural neural voices at exam pace, distractor traps like the real thing, play-once mock exams scored in …/25.

KNM

140 questions · full topic map

Aligned with the official themes — health, housing, work, history, politics. The part most language apps barely mention.

WOORDEN

572 words · 16 decks

Frequency-first order, articles always included, separable verbs shown split — the #1 listening trap trained explicitly. Spaced repetition does the rest.

SCHRIJVEN & SPREKEN

Writing + speaking tasks

Official assignment formats with instant AI feedback — clearly labeled as AI, and it works with made-up personal details.

PLANNER

A plan that fits your life

Morning, lunch, evening slots → daily contract, calendar export, printable week. Miss a day? One free repair a week. No hearts, no guilt.

OFFICIAL

Every DUO practice exam, linked

The real benchmarks, one tap away. We link the official material and never copy it — that's the deal that keeps your training honest.

The A2 window · verified 2026-07-16

Naturalization still takes A2. Officially set to change.

FACT 1

Naturalization today requires the inburgering exam at A2 (or NT2 B1/B2) — per the official DUO pages.

FACT 2

The January 2026 coalition agreement confirms the intent to raise the language requirement to B1. B1 is roughly twice the study hours of A2 for most learners.

FACT 3

No fixed date: the change needs a royal-decree amendment (the responsible minister previously estimated ~a year of process). The window is open — and documented to be closing.

No countdown theatrics: these are dated facts with primary sources — check them yourself at inburgeren.nl and duo.nl. We re-verify weekly and update this page when anything moves.

Eerlijke antwoorden

Honest answers, droog as intended.

Is Slagen affiliated with DUO or the government?

No. Slagen is an independent study tool. The official practice exams belong to DUO — we link to them as your weekly benchmark and never copy their content. Your exam registration, fees and results are between you and DUO.

Will this app make me pass?

No app can promise that, including this one. What Slagen does: turns your booked date into a daily plan sized to your real minutes, trains you in the exam's own format, and calibrates your readiness against official practice scores so your booking decision is evidence, not hope. The minutes are still yours to put in.

Why one-time instead of free-with-subscription?

Because incentives leak into products. A subscription needs you to stay; we need you to leave passed. One price, aligned interests, and the app is free while in beta anyway — judge it yourself before anything opens.

What happens to my data?

It stays in your browser on your device. No ads, no analytics cookies, no tracking pixels — on this page or in the app. An optional account exists only if you want sync across devices; AI feedback works with made-up personal details by design.

Which exams does it cover?

All five Wi2013 A2 parts. Deepest today: Luisteren (the maker's own next exam — see the receipts above) and KNM. Lezen, Schrijven and Spreken tracks are in and growing in that order. B1/NT2 comes after the A2 mission is done.

Phone or laptop?

Both. It's a web app — open the link, and on a phone you can install it to your home screen in two taps. Works offline once loaded; audio included.

Ready when your date is.
