Reviewed against official sources - Updated 2026-05-10
A2 reading questions usually test practical information: times, prices, dates, places, rules, and simple messages.
Read the question first. Then scan the text for the exact information. You do not need to understand every word. You need to find the part of the text that answers the question.

Reading exam habits
- Underline names, dates, times, and prices in your mind.
- Watch for negative words like niet, geen, nooit, and zonder.
- Do not choose an answer only because it repeats one word from the text.
- If a question is hard, choose the best answer and move on.
What to practice next
After short notices, practice emails and forms. These often contain more information and require you to compare two or three details before choosing an answer.
