The exam format

What the speaking section actually involves

Speaking is the first component of the Basisexamen Inburgering MVV. The section lasts 30 minutes. The examiner is pre-recorded. You hear the questions through headphones and speak your answers into a microphone. There is no live conversation.

Part 1 consists of 10 personal questions. These are open-ended but predictable in structure: questions about your daily life, family, work, hobbies, and plans. The exam draws from a public question pool, so the topics are knowable in advance.

Part 2 consists of 12 sentence completions. You hear the beginning of a sentence in Dutch and have to complete it naturally. This tests basic Dutch sentence structure and vocabulary recall under mild time pressure.

Human evaluators assess whether your response is appropriate and understandable, including its pronunciation. Your final result is reported as a grade from 1 to 10. You do not need native-sounding Dutch; you need to answer the prompt and be understood.

BibPrep generates clear, consistent Dutch audio for every prompt and example answer, so you can replay the entire bank instead of preparing from a silent PDF.

Active speaking

Listen, record, compare

Hear the prompt, record your own response, play it back, compare it with a clearly labelled example, and practise the real 10-question plus 12-completion workload in a timed mock.

Coverage is checked against the government's current Naar Nederland Speaking A1 list (March 2024). BibPrep creates the audio and example answers as training tools.

Personal feedback

An example answer cannot tell you what went wrong

When you practice alone, you have to judge your own Dutch. Speaking Coach transcribes what you said and checks whether it answers the question and whether the Dutch works. If something needs changing, you see why and get a better answer to try.

What a check looks like

Almost there

Wat gaat u morgen doen?

What are you going to do tomorrow?

You said

Ik morgen ga werken.

I am going to work tomorrow.

You could say

Ik ga morgen werken.

You answered the question and the meaning came across. In Dutch the verb comes second. Ga has to move in front of morgen: ik ga morgen werken.

When your answer falls short, it gives you a better Dutch answer to the same prompt.

Yes. Your first 10 checks are free with a BibPrep account, so you can find out whether the feedback helps before you pay anything. No card details are needed. A check that fails or cannot be assessed does not use one up.
