Staatsexamen NT2 (State Exams Dutch as a Second Language) Syllabus

Staatsexamen Nederlands als tweede taal (State Examination of Dutch for  Second Language) Syllabus/Subject

Each NT2 exam is scored between 100 and 900 points, with a pass mark being a minimum of 500 points. Marks below 300 and above 600 are very rare.

- Reading & Listening:

As multiple-choice papers, the criteria for marking Reading (Lezen) and Listening (Luisteren) exams are straightforward, as there is only one correct answer per question.

- Writing:

The Writing (Schrijven) examination is marked firstly on the basis of the content, namely that it is adequate. This means that it is legible, written in Dutch language and contains the correct information, which is set out logically.

The text should also be addressed to the correct persons or people and perform the correct function (i.e. as a letter of complaint or an email to colleagues, etc.). Texts are judged on the basis of grammar, such as correct word order and use of preposition and verbs. Words are also judged on the basis of being used and spelled correctly.

- Speaking:

In the Speaking (Spreken) exam, aspirants must understand the text and speak in Dutch. Answers are assessed for logical and on grammar, as in the Writing exam. Lastly, marks are awarded for correct pronunciation, pace (i.e. not too slow) and logical consistency.
