Full guide by section

Which integration exams are there?

Many people hear individual exam names without knowing how they are related. That is why it is useful to first have a complete overview before you start learning each part.

01

An overview only works if you see categories

Language

Reading, listening, speaking and writing are separate skills.

Knowledge

KNM belongs to social knowledge and not to language skills.

Participation

PVT and MAP have a different function than an exam part.

02

How to make this overview useful

1. Use it as a card first

Understand what names exist and how they relate to each other.

2. Then check your personal list

Only then will you see which names are relevant to you now and which later or not.

3. Then choose an initial focus

A complete overview provides peace of mind, but progress only comes if you tackle one part at a time.

03

More names doesn't mean more panic

Overview is meant to pull things apart. Once you see the categories, the journey usually feels smaller instead of bigger.
