ExamenOverzicht

What ExamenOverzicht does

ExamenOverzicht is a privately held Dutch educational publisher founded in 2012 and headquartered in Utrecht. The company produces exam preparation materials for students taking the Dutch national final exams (eindexamens) at three secondary-education tiers: VMBO (BB, KB, and TL/GL tracks), HAVO, and VWO. Its core offering consists of printed summary books (samenvattingen), practice books (oefenboeken), explanation video sets (uitlegvideo's), and a digital question-bank product called ExamenChallenge. It also operates a digital platform via a mobile app (iOS and Android, 50,000+ downloads) and an e-commerce storefront at examenoverzicht.nl, plus a two-day in-person examentraining product delivered through partner Eindsprint at venues across 10+ Dutch cities.

The underlying technology combines physical printed materials with a proprietary digital platform: QR codes in physical books link to explanation videos, digital summaries are accessible in-app, and the ExamenChallenge provides progress tracking against summary topics. Content is written by top students and reviewed by teachers, and is also used as official teaching material by tutoring providers including Luzac and Eindsprint Examentraining. Pricing is one-time/per-student: €19.95 for summaries, €21.95 for practice books, €24.95 for video sets, €34.95 for ExamenChallenge, €5 for flashcards, €4 for branded notebooks, and €350 for the in-person two-day examentraining, with bundles offering up to 21% discount.

The business model is primarily direct-to-consumer self-serve e-commerce with a secondary professional-services revenue stream (in-person training) and a nascent B2B channel through tutoring-company partnerships. The company has served 200,000+ students and claims 100,000+ satisfied customers with a 9.0/10 rating across 3,342 Feedback Company reviews. Geographic focus is entirely domestic (Netherlands), and there are no disclosed funding rounds, institutional investors, or M&A activity.

Direct peers

• Samengevat (ThiemeMeulenhoff): Samengevat publishes printed study summaries for Dutch secondary education (HAVO/VWO). It is the most direct competitor to ExamenOverzicht's printed samenvattingen, though it lacks ExamenOverzicht's app and integrated practice-question ecosystem.
• StudyGo: StudyGo offers digital study summaries and practice materials for Dutch secondary school students. It is comparable to ExamenOverzicht's digital summaries and ExamenChallenge on the online prep side, though its content depth by subject is narrower.
• Mr. Chadd: Mr. Chadd is a Dutch online tutoring platform that provides one-on-one and group lessons across secondary-school subjects. It competes with ExamenOverzicht's examentraining line and shares the same Dutch student and parent buyer.
• Lyceo: Lyceo is one of the largest Dutch providers of exam training and tutoring at VMBO/HAVO/VWO levels. It is comparable as a Dutch exam-prep and tutoring services company targeting the same secondary-school student segments.
• Slim.nl: Slim.nl is a Dutch online practice and tutoring platform covering secondary school subjects. It overlaps with ExamenOverzicht in providing online exam practice questions and progress tracking for VMBO/HAVO/VWO students.
• Bijles Aan Huis: Bijles Aan Huis is a major Dutch in-home tutoring network. It competes for the same Dutch secondary-student budget with personalized tutoring, a more service-intensive alternative to ExamenOverzicht's small-group examentraining.
• Eindsprint Examentraining: Eindsprint is a Dutch exam training provider and ExamenOverzicht's operational partner for in-person examentraining. It competes in the same small-group exam coaching niche, particularly for retake students, and serves a directly overlapping customer base.
• Squla: Squla is a Dutch online adaptive-learning platform for primary and early secondary school students. It is comparable as a Dutch EdTech company combining digital practice content with school-channel distribution, although Squla targets younger grades.

Broad incumbents

• Khan Academy: Khan Academy is a global free online learning platform with explanatory videos and practice exercises. While not Dutch-specific, it competes for student attention with free video explanations and exercises that overlap with ExamenOverzicht's ExamenChallenge and uitlegvideo's.
• ThiemeMeulenhoff: ThiemeMeulenhoff is one of the largest Dutch educational publishers, producing textbooks, digital learning materials, and the Samengevat summary line. It is comparable as a Dutch educational publisher operating at much greater scale across the K-12 stack.
