Official HAVO Duits 2026 is CE German reading (2.5 hours; Domein A Leesvaardigheid; mixed item types + N-term) plus school SE for productive skills — not an English MCQ exam. These 100 English MCQs keep German passages/stems for CE-aligned reading, vocab and grammar judgment and explicitly do not replace the German CE reading paper or SE speaking/writing.

About the HAVO Duits Exam

HAVO Duits is a Dutch upper-secondary modern foreign language exam under CvTE rules, catalogued on Examenblad.nl. The Centraal Examen tests only Domein A Leesvaardigheid (German reading) at roughly mixed B1/B2 demand. The Schoolexamen covers listening/viewing, speaking, writing, literature and study/career orientation. This practice bank is an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation that preserves German text in stems for reading, vocabulary and grammar judgment. It does not replace the official German CE reading paper or SE speaking/writing assessments.

Assessment

Eindexamen = CE + SE. Centraal Examen: national German reading paper (Domein A Leesvaardigheid) with mixed item types (~60% score points multiple-choice including gap-fill MCQs; ~40% other forms such as structured, citation and open questions per Syllabus MVT havo). Schoolexamen: school PTA covers remaining domains (listening/viewing, speaking, writing, literature, study/career orientation). Raw CE points convert to a 1–10 grade via the series N-term omzettingstabel.

Time Limit

CE: 2 hours 30 minutes (Examenblad 2026: 1e tijdvak Wednesday 20 May 2026 09:00–11:30; 2e tijdvak Tuesday 23 June 2026 13:30–16:00). SE duration and forms follow each school’s PTA.

Passing Score

Dutch grading scale 1–10; a subject is typically passed at ≥5.5. When both CE and SE apply, the final subject grade is the average of CE and SE. CE points are converted via the published N-term table for that series.

Exam Fee

No separate published per-subject fee for regular secondary-school HAVO candidates (publicly funded). Do not treat DUO Staatsexamen subject fees as the school CE fee; those fees apply only to independent DUO Staatsexamen candidates.

HAVO Duits Study Tips from Top Performers

1Practise CE skills in Dutch/German past papers on Examenblad: main idea, relevant detail, word meaning, cohesion and author stance — not only grammar drills.
2When a question asks for the hoofdgedachte, eliminate options that are true details but not the central message.
3Train connector logic (aber, trotzdem, deshalb, obwohl, während, indem) because CE items often hinge on relations between sentences.
4Use a bilingual dictionary efficiently on timed practice, then try some passages without it so context inference stays strong.
5Keep SE speaking and writing separate: schedule PTA oral/writing tasks; these MCQs only support reading/judgment.
6Check vakspecifieke informatie and the Septembermededeling each year for answer-sheet rules and any announcement changes.
