About the LO HAVO (common core) Exam

Lichamelijke opvoeding (gemeenschappelijk deel) is the compulsory HAVO physical education subject for all candidates in the common core. Examenblad 2026 confirms it is examined only as a schoolexamen (no centraal examen). The official examenprogramma covers Domains A (Vaardigheden), B (Bewegen), C (Bewegen en regelen), D (Bewegen en gezondheid) and E (Bewegen en samenleving), with A/C/D/E addressed in connection with B. Domain B requires variety across spelen (slag- en loopspel, two doelspelen, one terugslagspel), at least two activities from turnen/atletiek/bewegen op muziek/zelfverdediging, and at least three new activities. Domain C requires supportive/leadership roles (instructor, coach, referee/jury, organiser). Official assessment is practical and typically closed with voldoende or goed — unlike numbered subjects on the Dutch 1–10 scale. Official language is Dutch. These practice items are an English MCQ study adaptation of knowledge and judgment about PE, safety, motor learning and health; they cannot certify physical performance.

LO HAVO (common core) Study Tips from Top Performers

1Map your school PTA to Domains A–E and check that spelen, two-from-four activity areas, three new activities, and at least two regulating roles are covered.
2Practise classifying activities (doelspel vs terugslagspel vs slag- en loopspel) and explaining broadening vs deepening in Domain B.
3Link health knowledge to personal load management and a realistic training plan (Domain D) — absolute elite performance is not the LO goal.
4Treat safety, fair play and regulating roles (set-up, coaching, refereeing, organising) as assessable competencies, not extras.
