NT2 Programma II study plan

Inventory your current reading and listening level by completing one full Lezen and one full Luisteren practice set under timed conditions and logging your raw scores

Identify and label the function of signal words (oorzaak, gevolg, tegenstelling, opsomming) in five opinion texts

Answer 20 multiple-choice reading questions and justify each chosen option in writing with the sentence in the text that supports it

Practise predicting content from titles and subheadings before reading, then verify your predictions

Complete two 20-minute Luisteren fragments and transcribe the key sentence of each answer

Write three short functional texts (note, invitation, response to a complaint) of 50 to 70 words under a 10-minute limit

Refine your personal phrase bank and speaking templates based on mock-exam gaps

Repeat the full mock exam and confirm improvement in at least two domains

Rehearse exam-day logistics: timing per section, reading question order, and speaking preparation routine
