How the estimate works
The test samples five frequency bands, from the thousand most common Dutch words to the ten thousandth, and scales your score in each band up to the words it stands for. Each band is capped by the one below, so a few lucky rare words cannot inflate the result.
Why you type the answer
Picking from a list lets you score by luck; typing the meaning does not. Articles, plurals and every dictionary translation are accepted. Three items are invented words that follow Dutch spelling but do not exist, and they never count.
How many words is enough?
About 1,000 to 1,500 words carry everyday conversation (A2). Around 3,000 lets you follow the news and talk at work (B1 to B2). Novels get comfortable near 5,000.
How accurate is it?
Treat the number as a range: two dozen words sampled from ten thousand give a rough estimate, rounded to the nearest fifty. It is best for tracking your progress over time.
