About the HAVO Italiaans Exam
HAVO Italiaans is the full-track Dutch upper-secondary Italian exam subject. Examenblad 2026 confirms it is examined only as a schoolexamen (no centraal examen). The examenprogramma moderne vreemde talen covers Domains A (reading), B (viewing/listening), C (conversation/speaking), D (writing), E (literature), and F (study/career orientation). Because Italian has no CE, Leesvaardigheid is also assessed in the SE. SLO handreiking places HAVO streefniveaus near ERK B1 for receptive skills and A2+/B1 for productive skills. Official SE tasks are typically open productive/receptive tasks in Italian (and Dutch instructions as set by the school), not pure MCQ. This practice bank is an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation that keeps Italian in stems/options when testing linguistic skill.
