Sample Flanders Jachtexamen Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Flanders Jachtexamen exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1How is the Flemish theoretisch jachtexamen organised by the Agentschap voor Natuur en Bos (ANB)?

A.The Walloon examen de chasse, which also counts as the Flemish theory paper

B.A single national Belgian oral exam administered by Selor

C.A digital multiple-choice exam of 60 questions, taken in Dutch only

D.A Code 95 professional-driver knowledge test with a hunting module

Explanation: Flanders organises its own theoretisch jachtexamen under the Jachtadministratiebesluit of 25 April 2014. It is a digital multiple-choice paper of 60 questions covering wetgeving, fauna, and jachtwapens en munitie. There is no unified Belgian hunting exam; Wallonia runs a separate examen de chasse.

2What is the official pass standard for the Flemish theoretisch jachtexamen?

A.A simple majority of all 60 questions, with no per-vak minimum

B.At least 70% overall, with fauna allowed to compensate for a failed weapons vak

C.At least 50% in each vak and at least 60% overall (36/60)

D.A jury deliberation if you score 49% in one vak

Explanation: Jachtadministratiebesluit article 54 requires at least half the marks in every vak and at least 60% overall, which is 36 out of 60. Both conditions must be met together. ANB’s exam FAQ states there is no deliberation if you miss either threshold.

3How are answers scored on the Flemish theoretisch jachtexamen?

A.Correct +2, blank 0, wrong 0 (no penalty)

B.Correct +1, blank −0.5, wrong −1

C.Correct +1, blank 0, wrong −0.5

D.All unanswered questions are marked as correct

Explanation: Vlaanderen.be and ANB both state that a correct answer scores one point, a blank answer scores zero, and a wrong answer costs half a point. Guessing when you can eliminate nothing is therefore worse than leaving the item blank.

4What are the minimum ages for the Flemish theory exam and for a jachtverlof?

A.16 on the theory day and 16 for a jachtverlof

B.18 on the theory day and 21 for a jachtverlof

C.At least 17 on the day of the theoretisch jachtexamen; a jachtverlof requires age 18

D.21 for both the theory exam and the jachtverlof

Explanation: ANB and Vlaanderen.be require candidates to be at least 17 on the day of the theoretisch jachtexamen. A Flemish jachtverlof may only be applied for from age 18, together with medical fitness, a reliable record, and proof of hunting competence.

5What is the registration fee for the Flemish theoretisch jachtexamen, and is it refundable?

A.EUR 180, refundable with a medical certificate

B.EUR 40, refunded automatically if you fail

C.EUR 70, and it is not refunded even if you cannot attend

D.EUR 186, the same as an ordinary jachtverlof

Explanation: Jachtadministratiebesluit article 50 and the ANB pages fix the theory fee at EUR 70. Paid theory fees are not refunded, including where the candidate cannot sit for medical or other reasons. The EUR 180 figure is the full practical-exam fee, not the theory paper.

6In which language may the Flemish theoretisch jachtexamen be taken?

A.Dutch, French or German, at the candidate’s choice

B.English if the candidate has no Belgian rijksregisternummer

C.Dutch only; an interpreter is not allowed

D.French, because hunting law is a federal matter

Explanation: The 2026 theory-exam reglement states that the exam is taken exclusively in Dutch and that an interpreter is not permitted. Hunting is a regional competence of the Flemish Gewest, so Walloon or federal language rules do not apply in the Leuven hall.

7Where and when is the 2026 Flemish theoretisch jachtexamen scheduled?

A.Once only, in August 2026, on the Herentals clay range

B.On demand at any ANB provincial office throughout 2026

C.Jointly with the Walloon examen de chasse in Namur in March 2026

D.Saturday 25 April 2026 and Saturday 30 May 2026, at KU Leuven’s Van den Heuvelinstituut

Explanation: Vlaanderen.be lists two 2026 theory sittings: Saturday 25 April and Saturday 30 May, both at the Van den Heuvelinstituut, Dekenstraat 2, 3000 Leuven. The practical exam is a separate August event. Candidates are summoned no later than five days beforehand.

8How many theory questions does each vak of the Flemish jachtexamen contain?

A.20 wetgeving, 20 fauna and 20 jachtwapens en munitie

B.10 wetgeving, 40 fauna and 10 jachtwapens en munitie

C.15 wetgeving, 30 fauna and 15 jachtwapens en munitie

D.30 wetgeving, 15 fauna and 15 jachtwapens en munitie

Explanation: Jachtadministratiebesluit article 48 sets vak 1 wetgeving at 15 questions, vak 2 fauna at 30 questions (photos and other visual material may be used), and vak 3 jachtwapens en munitie at 15 questions. Because fauna is half the paper, identification errors are especially costly under the −0.5 penalty.

9What are the current ANB fees for a Flemish jachtverlof?

A.Ordinary EUR 70; Sunday-only EUR 40; no provincial supplements

B.A single national fee of EUR 250 collected by the federal Wapendienst

C.Ordinary EUR 186; Sunday-only EUR 127; West-Flanders later adds a EUR 15 provincial tax

D.Ordinary EUR 48; Sunday-only free for WBE members

Explanation: ANB’s jachtverlof page lists EUR 186 for an ordinary (every-day) jachtverlof and EUR 127 for a Sunday-only jachtverlof. West-Flanders later charges a EUR 15 provincial tax on the provincial assessment notice. EUR 70 is the theory-exam fee, not the licence.

10When must a hunter in Flanders hold civil-liability hunting insurance?

A.Only when hunting grofwild with a kogelgeweer

B.Only if the hunter is not a member of a WBE

C.Anyone hunting in Flanders with a firearm must hold liability insurance covering injury and property damage from transporting, carrying or using weapons before, during and after the hunt, valid at least as long as the jachtverlof

D.Never; ANB’s jachtverlof fee includes state insurance

Explanation: ANB requires every person who hunts with a firearm in Flanders to hold a civil-liability hunting insurance. It must cover bodily and material damage to third parties arising from transporting, carrying or using weapons before, during and after the hunt, and it must last at least as long as the jachtverlof.

About the Flanders Jachtexamen Exam

The theoretisch jachtexamen is the first step toward a Flemish jachtverlof. Agentschap voor Natuur en Bos runs a Dutch digital paper of 60 three-choice questions on wetgeving, fauna, and jachtwapens en munitie, with a 50% per-vak and 60% overall pass and a half-point penalty for wrong answers. 2026 sittings are 25 April and 30 May in Leuven. A later practical tests safe firearm handling and shooting. Hunting competence is regional: this exam is the Flemish ANB route, not Wallonia's examen de chasse (different age, scoring and pass marks). This bank is an English-language four-option MCQ study adaptation, not an official translation or a simulation of the Dutch three-choice sitting.

Exam sponsor: Agentschap voor Natuur en Bos (ANB) and the Flemish jachtexamencommissie. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

Flanders requires both a theoretical and a practical jachtexamen before a first jachtverlof. Theory is a Dutch digital MCQ of 60 items with three choices, maximum one hour, with −0.5 for a wrong answer. Practical vak 1 (safe handling) must be passed at 12/20 per onderdeel before shotgun and rifle. This English four-option bank is a study adaptation of Bijlage 1 knowledge — not an official translation, not a three-choice computer simulation, and not a substitute for the shooting tests.

Time Limit

Maximum one hour for the digital theory sitting (Reglement theoretisch jachtexamen 2026 Art. 9). Practical days typically start at 08:00 on published August dates.

Passing Score

Theory: at least 50% in each vak and 60% overall (36/60); +1 / 0 / −0.5. Practical: vak 1 at least 12/20 per onderdeel; shotgun 10/20; rifle 10/20.

Flanders Jachtexamen: Suggested Study Strategy

1Drill the three-vak pass rule: a 36/60 overall score still fails if any vak is under 50%.

2Wrong answers cost half a point, so skip when you cannot eliminate options on the official three-choice paper.

3Learn Bijlage 1 species lists rather than generic European game lists — Flanders tests named mammals, waterfowl, corvids and all raptors/owls.

4Keep Flemish rules separate from Walloon opening times and Dutch hunting-exam practice.

5Memorise jachtverlof vs jachtvergunning, WBE, faunabeheerplan, wildrapport (by 1 April) and grofwild afschotplan labels.

6Complete all 100 practice questions, then sit the official Dutch digital paper. This bank is not a format simulation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Flanders jachtexamen?

It is the competence exam required before a first Flemish jachtverlof. ANB runs a theoretical digital paper and a later practical covering firearm handling and shooting. Both parts must be passed.

Is this the same exam as Wallonia's hunting test?

No. Hunting is a regional competence. Flanders uses the Dutch theoretisch jachtexamen (60 items, 50% per vak and 60% overall, −0.5 for wrong answers, age 17). Wallonia's examen de chasse uses different branch pass marks, no wrong-answer penalty, and a minimum age of 16. This bank covers only the Flemish ANB exam.

How many official theory questions are there?

60 three-choice items: 15 wetgeving, 30 fauna, 15 jachtwapens en munitie (Jachtadministratiebesluit Art. 48). This page's 100 four-option English questions are a study bank, not the official paper.

What is the pass mark?

At least half the marks in each vak and at least 36/60 overall. A correct answer scores 1, a blank 0, and a wrong answer subtracts 0.5.

How much does it cost in 2026?

EUR 70 for theory and EUR 180 for a full practical (Jachtadministratiebesluit Art. 50). Fees are not refunded. A later ordinary jachtverlof is EUR 186.

In what language is the official exam?

Dutch only. The 2026 reglement forbids an interpreter. This practice bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation, not an official translation and not a simulation of the Dutch exam environment.

Does this bank replace the practical shooting tests?

No. The official practical includes safe handling (minimum 12/20), 10 clay-pigeon shots and 10 rifle shots on a 10 cm target. These MCQs can teach safety, sequencing and recognition, but they cannot certify shooting skill.
