HAVO Wiskunde B CE (CvTE / Examenblad) is a ~3-hour open written national paper on functions, geometry and applied differentiation (domains B–D), graded on the Dutch 1–10 scale with SE+CE. Regular school candidates pay no separate exam fee. These 100 English MCQs are a study adaptation — not an official CE or translation.

Sample HAVO Wiskunde B Practice Questions

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

1For f(x) = 3x − 5, the value of f(4) is
A.7
B.12
C.−2
D.17
Explanation: Substitute x = 4: f(4) = 3·4 − 5 = 7.
2The vertex of the parabola y = (x − 3)² + 2 is at
A.(3, 2)
B.(−3, 2)
C.(3, −2)
D.(2, 3)
Explanation: In y = a(x − h)² + k the vertex is (h, k) = (3, 2).
3Solve 2x + 7 = 15.
A.4
B.11
C.8
D.−4
Explanation: 2x = 8, so x = 4. Check: 2·4 + 7 = 15.
4Simplify 5² · 5³.
A.5⁵
B.5⁶
C.25⁵
D.5
Explanation: aᵐ · aⁿ = aᵐ⁺ⁿ, so 5² · 5³ = 5⁵.
5If g(x) = 2ˣ, then g(3) equals
A.8
B.6
C.9
D.5
Explanation: g(3) = 2³ = 8. This calculation establishes the correct option.
6log₁₀(1000) equals
A.3
B.2
C.4
D.100
Explanation: log₁₀(10³) = 3. This calculation establishes the correct option.
7The period of y = sin(x) (x in radians) is
A.
B.π
C.π/2
D.
Explanation: sin x has period 2π.
8Solve x + y = 10 and x − y = 2. The value of x is
A.6
B.4
C.8
D.5
Explanation: Adding gives 2x = 12, so x = 6 (then y = 4).
9For f(x) = x² − 4x, f(1) equals
A.−3
B.−5
C.3
D.5
Explanation: f(1) = 1 − 4 = −3. This calculation establishes the correct option.
10The amplitude of y = 4 cos(3x) is
A.4
B.3
C.12
D.1/4
Explanation: Amplitude is |a| = 4; the factor 3 affects period only.

About the HAVO Wiskunde B Exam

HAVO Wiskunde B is the Netherlands senior-secondary Mathematics B subject for HAVO, with a national centraal examen set under CvTE and published on Examenblad.nl. The 2026 syllabus CE covers Domain B (standard functions, equations/inequalities, sinusoids), Domain C (plane geometry with trig and analytic methods), and Domain D (difference quotients, derivatives and applied change analysis), always with Domain A mathematical skills. Official papers are open written tasks (not MCQ-only) lasting about 3 hours.

Assessment

Eindexamen = schoolexamen (SE) + centraal examen (CE). CE tests domains B (functions, graphs and equations), C (geometric calculations) and D (applied analysis) with domain A skills. Official CE is a written paper with open calculation/reasoning items; SE follows the school PTA.

Time Limit

Centraal examen approximately 3 hours (2026: 13:30–16:30 on scheduled CE days)

Passing Score

Dutch 1–10 scale. Subject eindcijfer averages SE and CE (rounded per national rules). Overall HAVO diploma pass rules apply (core subjects, CE average, and limited insufficient grades) — see Rijksoverheid HAVO eindexameneisen.

Exam Fee

No separate candidate fee for regular HAVO school candidates (exam delivered through the school as part of publicly funded secondary education). Staatsexamen candidates pay separate DUO fees. (College voor Toetsen en Examens (CvTE); documents and schedules on Examenblad.nl)

HAVO Wiskunde B Exam Content Outline

Domain B

Functions, graphs and equations

Power, exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric standard functions; graph features and simple transformations; solving equations and inequalities; systems of two linear equations; sinusoidal models f(x) = d + a sin(b(x − c)) or cos forms.

Domain C

Geometric calculations

Plane geometry: distances and angles with trigonometric ratios, Pythagoras, sine rule and cosine rule; analytic-algebraic calculations from figures and coordinates in context.

Domain D

Applied analysis

Change via difference quotients and thenamediagrams; interpreting the derivative and slope graphs; differentiating power functions with rational exponents using sum, difference and (linear-inner) chain rules; applying derivatives in profile-style contexts.

HAVO Wiskunde B Study Tips from Top Performers

1Use the CvTE Syllabus wiskunde B havo 2026 on Examenblad as the checklist — CE is domains B, C and D plus domain A skills.
2Drill exact algebra with power, exponential, log and sinusoidal equations before relying on the graphics calculator.
3For geometry, rehearse sine/cosine rules and coordinate methods on multi-step plane figures, not isolated formula recall.
4In applied analysis, practise difference quotients, then derivatives of rational powers with sum/difference/chain rules, and interpret slopes in context.
5Work official past CE papers from Examenblad for timing and written-method marks; use these MCQs for rapid calculation drill.
6Remember CE answers must show working; MCQ practice builds speed but does not replace written justification.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is HAVO Wiskunde B?

HAVO Wiskunde B is the Mathematics B subject in Dutch higher general secondary education (havo). The national centraal examen is developed under the College voor Toetsen en Examens (CvTE) and documented on Examenblad.nl. The 2026 syllabus CE covers functions/graphs/equations (domain B), geometric calculations (domain C) and applied analysis (domain D).

How long is the HAVO Wiskunde B centraal examen?

The 2026 centraal examen sessions are scheduled for 3 hours (13:30–16:30), including the 1e tijdvak on Tuesday 19 May 2026 and the 2e tijdvak on Thursday 18 June 2026, per the Examenblad Wiskunde B havo page.

How is HAVO Wiskunde B graded?

Dutch secondary subjects use a 1–10 cijfer scale. The subject eindcijfer combines the schoolexamen and the centraal examen. Diploma pass/fail follows national HAVO rules (including core-subject limits and CE-average requirements) published by the Rijksoverheid — there is no single published percentage pass mark for Wiskunde B alone.

Is there a candidate fee for regular school pupils?

Regular HAVO school candidates do not pay a separate per-subject centraal-examen fee; the exam is administered through the school. Separate DUO fees apply only to Staatsexamen pathways, which are a different candidate route.

Are these official CvTE exam questions?

No. Official HAVO Wiskunde B CE papers are open written calculation and reasoning tasks in Dutch. This bank is an original English-language multiple-choice study adaptation aligned to the CvTE 2026 syllabus domains for practice — not an official translation or a simulation of CE format.
