For the inburgering A2 exams, KNM, Reading, and Listening results typically appear online within a week, but Writing and Speaking often take longer, usually 4 to 6 weeks after your exam date. If you took your exams on June 4, expect Writing and Speaking results around early to mid-July, though delays can happen due to volume. Check your DUO account regularly, and note that results are released in batches, not all at once.
DUO processes exams in order of completion, so your specific wait depends on when your speaking and writing tests were graded and uploaded. The official guideline is up to 8 weeks, but most candidates see results within 4-6 weeks. To track progress, log into your DUO inburgering portal (www.inburgeren.nl) and look under "Mijn Inburgering" or "Resultaten." Results appear as a status change from "In behandeling" (in process) to a score. If you haven't seen anything after 8 weeks, contact DUO via their contact form or phone, but be patient as they handle many candidates.
A practical tip: join online forums like r/learndutch or Facebook groups for inburgering candidates where people post their result timelines. This gives you a rough idea of current processing speeds. Avoid checking multiple times daily; set a weekly check instead to reduce stress. Also, note that DUO does not send email notifications for results, so you must check manually.
If your results are delayed beyond 8 weeks, first verify your exam dates and personal details are correct in your account. Then call DUO at their general number (listed on their site) and ask for an update on your exam batch. Be polite and have your BSN and exam reference number ready. Remember that delays are usually due to high exam volumes, not errors. For future exams, consider taking all parts on the same day to potentially speed up processing.
