About the Maatschappijleer VMBO GL/TL Exam
Maatschappijleer (gemeenschappelijk deel) is the compulsory VMBO GL/TL civic/social-studies subject in the common curriculum. Examenblad 2026 confirms the eindexamen is schoolexamen only. The official examenprogramma covers ML1/K/1–ML1/K/7: orientation; basic and learning skills; culture and socialisation; social differences; power and influence (parliamentary democracy and rules for living together); and image-formation/stereotyping. SLO notes schools concretise eindtermen in the PTA. The cijfer counts independently in the VMBO slaag-/zakregeling and also features in GL/TL cum-laude averages for the gemeenschappelijk deel. This practice bank is an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation of those programme concepts — not an official SE simulation, Dutch past paper, or substitute for school SE tasks.
Assessment
Eindexamen = Schoolexamen only (no Centraal Examen). Examenblad 2026: “Dit examen wordt alleen als schoolexamen afgenomen.” Examenprogramma units ML1/K/1–ML1/K/7 (orientation; basic skills; learning skills; cultuur en socialisatie; sociale verschillen; macht en zeggenschap; beeldvorming en stereotypering). Each school’s PTA sets number, form and weighting of SE toetsen. Official assessment is typically open tasks and sources in Dutch — not a national MCQ paper. Do not confuse with maatschappijkunde (which can have a CE on GL/TL). This bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation.
Time Limit
Not nationally fixed. SE timing, number of toetsen and forms follow each school’s PTA and examenreglement.
Passing Score
Dutch grading scale 1–10. For SE-only subjects the SE grade is the eindcijfer. On VMBO, maatschappijleer counts independently in the slaag-/zakregeling (not via a havo/vwo-style combinatiecijfer).

Do not treat DUO Staatsexamen subject fees as the school SE fee; those fees apply only to independent DUO Staatsexamen candidates. (College voor Toetsen en Examens (CvTE) sets national programme quality framework; catalogue on Examenblad.nl. The school’s bevoegd gezag administers the schoolexamen under the PTA.)
