Dutch C-test
This test is meant for Dutch native-speaker prospective students with a foreign secondary school diploma. If you did not take Dutch as an exam subject in secondary school but you do want to study in the Netherlands, you can take the C-test. If you pass, you will be issued with a certificate stating that your Dutch is sufficient to successfully follow a degree programme at a Dutch university or university of applied sciences.
Test Format
The test consists of 3 texts whereby every second word is missing half of its letters. If a word has an uneven number of letters, then half + 1 of the letters are missing. You have to complete the words. For example:
De he______ van h____ aantal let______ is wegge________.
Je mo____ de woo_______ weer comp______ maken.
De helft van het aantal letters is weggelaten.
Je moet de woorden weer compleet maken.
There are a total of 100 words to complete. Please read the C-test Instruction carefully to learn more about the test itself.
Test Results
A score of 90% is required for a pass mark. This means your language proficiency is comparable to that of a student in VWO year 5.
Certificate
After the test you will receive 3 certificates. If you would like to receive more certificates, please ask your examiner to indicate this on the application form. Each additional certificate will cost € 1.
If you would like to receive more certificates at a later stage, you will be charged an administration fee of € 10 and € 1 for each additional certificate
Organization of the Test
The entire test will take approximately 1 hour. You will first have a short conversation with a teacher to determine whether your language proficiency is comparable with that of a native speaker. You will then take the test, which lasts 30 minutes. This will be checked immediately and you will be told the result on the spot.
