What the figures show
- B1 sittings are almost **six times** their 2021 level — a consequence of the Wet inburgering 2021.
- B2 grew far more slowly: 14,826 to 22,268 sittings.
- At A1 the first-time pass rate was 72% (2020: 77%).
- More than three-quarters of A1 candidates are women, and women pass about 6 points higher than men.
ماذا يعني هذا لك
- Do not assume B1 “usually works out”: about half of all attempts do not pass.
- More candidates means longer queues — register early.
- Compare your preparation with where it actually goes wrong: Listening and Reading.
أسئلة شائعة
Are these people or attempts?
Sittings, so attempts: one candidate can sit several parts and several attempts.
Why is A2 missing?
The A2 integration exam runs through DUO and is reported separately, not in the CvTE annual report.
