About the VMBO BB Biologie Exam
VMBO BB Biologie is a Dutch secondary biology exam for the basisberoepsgerichte leerweg under CvTE rules, catalogued on Examenblad.nl. The Syllabus biologie vmbo 2026 (Versie 2; no content changes vs 2025 per vakspecifieke informatie) places BB CE on BI/K/3, BI/K/4, BI/K/6, BI/K/9, BI/K/11 and BI/K/12. From 2025 the CE is only flexible digital Facet (bb-flex), not paper. Official CE language is Dutch; this practice bank is an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation covering those CE concepts plus selected SE study topics (e.g. BI/K/5 schimmels/bacteriën, BI/K/10 bescherming).

Centraal Examen: flexible digital exam in Facet (bb-flex) during the national afnameperiode; open/short-answer style items scored via correctievoorschrift; raw points converted to a 1–10 grade with the N-term omzettingstabel.

Is the official Centraal Examen multiple-choice?
No. The official CE is a flexible digital exam in Facet with open and short-answer style items scored with a correctievoorschrift and converted to a grade using the N-term omzettingstabel. This page’s 100 questions are an English-language MCQ study adaptation for concept practice, not an official CE simulation.

What score do I need to pass?
Dutch secondary grades use a 1–10 scale; a subject is typically passed at 5.5 or higher. When both CE and SE apply, the final subject grade is normally their average. CE raw scores are converted via the flex-series N-term table published on Examenblad.
How much does VMBO BB Biologie cost for school candidates?
Regular secondary-school VMBO BB candidates do not pay a separate published per-subject CE fee; schooling is publicly funded. DUO Staatsexamen subject fees apply only to independent Staatsexamen candidates and should not be cited as the school exam fee.
Which syllabus should I use for 2026?
Use the Syllabus biologie vmbo 2026 (CvTE) and the examenprogramma biologie vmbo linked from the Examenblad subject page. Vakspecifieke informatie biologie vmbo bb states the 2026 syllabus has no content changes versus 2025, and that Facet bb-flex is the regular CE form.
Are these practice questions in Dutch like the official exam?
