How it works

  1. Try a free question

    Pick one of the free topics and answer a practice question. Sam explains the answer.

  2. Take the diagnostic

    A short set of questions from every topic. At the end you see your result per topic group.

  3. Practise your weak topics

    Use the diagnostic result to pick where to start, then practise topic by topic.

Questions

Is this really enough to pass?
Nobody can promise you a pass. Practice helps you know the topics and the format of the exam. Sam covers all 13 topics, and the full mock exam runs 45 minutes, like the real exam. How much you need depends on where you start.
What is KNM exactly?
KNM (Kennis van de Nederlandse Maatschappij) is the civic knowledge test. The exam lasts 45 minutes and is taken on a computer. It's one of the requirements for the inburgering process.
I've tried other prep sites - why is this different?
Most prep sites give you PDFs to read or quiz you on Dutch grammar. HeloMate focuses on the KNM exam topics, and Sam explains every answer. No grammar, no filler.
Is it really free? What's the catch?
Right now it costs nothing. HeloMate is free while we test it, and we haven't set a launch price yet.
Who is HeloMate not for?
HeloMate is not for people looking for leaked exam answers or shortcuts. It is for people who want to learn the topics and understand why an answer is right.
