How to practise this part
- 1
Study one theme at a time, not all mixed together. The questions are grouped by theme and it sticks better that way.
- 2
Think practically: “what do I do in this situation?” is almost always the question.
- 3
Read the explanation after every mistake. KNM repeats the same principles in different situations.
Frequently asked questions
- What does KNM ask about?
- Practical knowledge of housing, work, healthcare, education and the rule of law in the Netherlands — not language questions. The themes were revised on 1 July 2025.
- Do I have to memorise everything?
- No. KNM tests how the Netherlands works in practice: who you call, where you apply, which rule applies. Practice questions beat memorising lists here.
