Try these sample questions to test your HAVO Russisch (elementair) exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1In the elementary HAVO Russisch programme, Domain A Leesvaardigheid primarily trains you to…
A.Write long formal essays in Russian
B.Identify relevant information, main ideas and key meanings in written Russian texts
C.Translate Dutch literature into Russian poetry
D.Sit a national Centraal Examen reading paper only
Explanation: The elementary examenprogramma Domain A lists skills such as selecting relevant information, stating the main idea, interpreting key elements, seeing text relations and inferring author intent. It is school SE reading work, not a national CE paper and not Domain D writing.
2You need the opening hours of a Moscow museum from a short Russian webpage. Which Domain A move comes first?
A.Memorise every adjective ending in the page
B.Scan for the information that matches your fixed need (opening times)
C.Ignore numbers because they are never relevant
D.Rewrite the whole page as a poem
Explanation: Domain A explicitly includes indicating which information is relevant given a fixed need. Scanning for opening hours is that skill at elementary level.
3Which Cyrillic letter typically represents the sound /m/ as in English “map”?
A.Н н
B.М м
C.Р р
D.В в
Explanation: М м is “em” and sounds like English m. Н н is n, Р р is a rolled r, and В в is v.

A./p/ as in “pen”
B.A trilled /r/
C./b/ as in “bat”

A.The colour of the item
B.The price / how much it costs
C.The seller’s age
D.The shop’s founding year

C.It will snow tomorrow only
D.There is no weather mentioned

10In a short email «Я живу в Амстердаме», which element states where the writer lives?
A.Я
B.живу
C.в Амстердаме

About the HAVO Russisch (elementair) Exam

Russisch (elementair) on HAVO is catalogued by CvTE on Examenblad.nl as an SE-only subject: there is no Centraal Examen. The elementary modern-foreign-languages examenprogramma covers Domains A (reading), B (viewing/listening) and C (speaking/interaction); Domain D (writing) does not apply to Russisch. SLO places Russisch elementair havo roughly at ERK A2 for these skills. Official assessment is school-designed in Dutch/Russian per the PTA, not a national MCQ paper. This free bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation for elementary Russian concept and strategy practice — distinct from full Russisch havo, which includes a national CE for reading.

Assessment

Eindexamen = Schoolexamen only (no CE). Examenprogramma domains for elementary MVT: A Leesvaardigheid; B Kijk- en luistervaardigheid; C Gespreksvaardigheid; D Schrijfvaardigheid (explicitly does not apply to Arabisch and Russisch). SE covers A–C (and optional school-chosen components). Distinct from full Russisch havo (CE reading + SE for other domains, including literature pathway).

Time Limit

School PTA (no national CE sitting or fixed national duration published for Russisch elementair havo on Examenblad)

Passing Score

Dutch grading scale 1–10; a subject is typically passed at ≥5.5. Because the subject is SE-only, the reported subject grade is the school SE grade as a whole number from 1 to 10.

Exam Fee

No separate published per-subject fee for regular secondary-school HAVO candidates (publicly funded). Do not treat DUO Staatsexamen subject fees as a school SE fee; those fees apply only to independent DUO Staatsexamen candidates. (College voor Toetsen en Examens (CvTE); catalogue and examenprogramma on Examenblad.nl; school SE designed and marked under the school PTA)

HAVO Russisch (elementair) Study Tips from Top Performers

1Treat Domains A–C as the whole official programme for Russisch elementair — do not assume a national CE reading paper like full Russisch.
2Confirm in your PTA how reading, listening/viewing and speaking are weighted; schools design the SE forms.
3Build Cyrillic decoding and high-frequency A2 vocabulary first — they unlock every domain.
4For listening, practise note-taking of names, numbers, places and main ideas while audio plays once or twice.
5For speaking, rehearse social scripts: greetings, asking for information, describing people/places, and repair strategies (asking to repeat).
6Use these English MCQs for concept drill, then switch to your school’s Russian-language SE assignments for authentic format practice.
