Nederlands VMBO BB combines a Dutch Facet digital CE (leesvaardigheid, schrijfvaardigheid, luister-/kijkvaardigheid, leervaardigheden at 2F) with an SE for speaking and fictie, graded 1–10 under CvTE/Examenblad rules with no separate candidate sitting fee in regular funded schools. Official tasks are Dutch digital reading/writing/listening — not a full English MCQ paper. This page’s 100 free questions are an English-language MCQ study adaptation of syllabus skills (Dutch terms and short passages retained where the skill requires them) and do not simulate the official Dutch CE.

A.Intensief lezen of every footnote first
B.Zoekend lezen for one phone number only

A.Globaal lezen only the last paragraph for tone

B.Only when you want to finish faster than zoekend lezen
C.Never — BB candidates only skim forever
D.Only for pictures with no text
