About the VMBO GL/TL Fries Exam

VMBO GL/TL Fries (Friese taal en cultuur / Fryske taal en kultuer) is the Frisian language-and-culture subject for the gemengde and theoretische leerwegen. Unlike Fries vmbo bb (SE-only), GL/TL has a national Centraal Examen: a 120-minute paper CSE focused on leesvaardigheid (FR/K/6) and leervaardigheden (FR/K/3), plus a school SE for other exameneenheden. Examenblad 2026 lists CSE 1e tijdvak on 22 May (09:00–11:00) and 2e tijdvak on 18 June (09:00–11:00). Vakspecifieke regels: open answers may be in Fries or Nederlands; citeervragen must be in Fries; spelling is not deducted unless meaning is harmed. Official programme languages are Dutch and Frisian (registry officialLanguages: nl, fy). This practice bank is an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation; Frisian snippets appear where the language skill is tested. It does not substitute for CE open answers or school SE oral/writing performance.

Assessment

Eindexamen = CE + SE. Centraal Examen: paper CSE in national tijdvakken; tekst-met-vragen open/short-answer items scored via correctievoorschrift; raw points converted to a 1–10 grade with the N-term omzettingstabel. Syllabus GT places CE on FR/K/3 (leervaardigheden) and FR/K/6 (leesvaardigheid). Schoolexamen: school PTA covers FR/K units marked must-on-SE (and may include CE units), plus FR/V/1–2 for GL/TL. Official assessment is not a pure MCQ bank. Official languages: Dutch and Frisian (nl + fy).

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 normally the average of CE and SE. CE points are converted via the published N-term table for the paper CSE series.
