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
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.
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.
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.

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.
