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.
