About the HAVO Fries Exam
HAVO Fries (Friese taal en cultuur) is a Dutch upper-secondary Frisian language-and-culture exam under CvTE rules, catalogued on Examenblad.nl. The 2026 Syllabus Fries havo (Versie 2; no content changes vs 2025) assigns the Centraal Examen exclusively to Domain A Leesvaardigheid: analysing and interpreting Frisian written texts (main idea, text relations, author intentions/views/feelings, standpoints and argument types). The official CE is a 2.5-hour written paper (open/short answers), not an MCQ-only test. This practice bank is an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation that preserves Frisian wording in stems and options when the language skill itself is being tested, and also covers SE Domains B–F for broader revision.
Assessment
Eindexamen = CE + SE. Centraal Examen: one national written sitting on Domain A Leesvaardigheid (Frisian articles and reports) with open and short-answer questions scored via correctievoorschrift; raw points converted to a 1–10 grade with the series N-term omzettingstabel (2026 1e tijdvak scoreschaal example: 46). Answers may be in Frisian or Dutch; text citations must be in Frisian. Schoolexamen: Domains E and F plus at least two of B–E per school PTA. Official assessment is not pure multiple-choice.
Time Limit
CE: 2.5 hours (Examenblad 2026: 1e tijdvak Wednesday 27 May 2026 09:00–11:30; 2e tijdvak Thursday 18 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 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.
