About the LO VMBO GL/TL (common core) Exam

Lichamelijke opvoeding (gemeenschappelijk deel / LO1) is the compulsory VMBO physical education subject for all candidates in the common core, including gemengde leerweg (gl) and theoretische leerweg (tl).

LO VMBO GL/TL (common core) Study Tips from Top Performers

1Map your school PTA to LO1/K/1–K/9 and check that spel variety, turnen, bewegen op muziek, atletiek, zelfverdediging, two actuele activities, and regulating tasks are covered.
2Practise classifying activities (doelspel vs terugslagspel vs slag- en loopspel) and explaining safety and rules within each unit.
3Link health knowledge to personal load management and realistic conditioning — absolute elite performance is not the LO1 goal.
4Treat safety, fair play and regulating roles (set-up, coaching, refereeing, organising) as assessable competencies, not extras.
5Use these English MCQs for concept checks only; complete your real SE practical work and dossier in Dutch per your school PTA.
