About the VMBO GL/TL Frans Exam
VMBO GL/TL Frans is a Dutch secondary French exam under CvTE rules for the gemengde and theoretische leerwegen, catalogued on Examenblad.nl. The Centraal Examen tests Leesvaardigheid with French texts at roughly A2 depth (CvTE coupling: most candidates who pass Frans GL/TL CE have demonstrated about A2). The CE is administered exclusively on paper (120 minutes). The 2026 paper windows are 12 May and 22 June, both 13:30–15:30. This practice bank is an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation: French passages and skill-critical wording stay in French; stems, explanations and feedback are in English. It is not an official translation or a simulation of the paper CE’s mixed open/MCQ format.
Assessment
Eindexamen = CE + SE. Centraal Examen: one national written reading sitting (Leesvaardigheid) with mixed item types — multiple-choice, voorgestructureerde and open questions — scored via correctievoorschrift; raw points converted to a 1–10 grade with the series N-term omzettingstabel. Delivery: paper CE only on the national rooster (Frans vmbo gl/tl is not digital Facet). Schoolexamen: school PTA covers remaining MVT skills. Official assessment is not pure multiple-choice.
Time Limit
CE: 2 hours (Examenblad 2026: 1e tijdvak Tuesday 12 May 2026 13:30–15:30; 2e tijdvak Monday 22 June 2026 13:30–15:30). 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 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 VMBO GL/TL candidates (publicly funded). Do not treat DUO Staatsexamen subject fees as the school CE fee; those fees apply only to independent DUO Staatsexamen candidates.

Connectors and text relations
Track cause, contrast, addition, consequence, concession and purpose across sentences and short paragraphs.
Paper CE only
Frans vmbo gl/tl is administered exclusively on paper (vakspecifieke informatie Examenblad); not Facet digital.
