I had my exam on 17 June 2015 and would like to share my experience. First of all, one needs to finish studying the NaarNederland CD, which is the official and cheapest way of learning Dutch. KNS is the easiest section and all from the CD; Reading is also easy;Speaking however is a bit worrying for all of us I understand. There is no standard frame how to give your answers, however, a short and simple answer is advised to avoid making extra mistakes. One thing you could be happy about is the faces appearing in the Speaking section are those who are in the NaarNederland CD, at least you feel familiar. One of the official at the Embassy was really kind enough to help me to translate one question because I did not understand. I was so worried about the Speaking part because I confirmed I've made grammar mistakes and given wrong answer. Hence, I would advise you to give simple answers instead of constructing sentences if you are not too sure about the grammar. Dutch grammar is so tricky! The result will be sent to you and your partner's email, so you don't need to visit the Embassy for the result. Mine was out in 2 weeks time, which was pretty fast. I got KNS (10), Reading (9) and Speaking (7). As long as you finish the NaarNederland CD and learn some basic terms, there is no need to be nervous for the Speaking part. Good luck!
