On Friday, May 8, the exam period begins for thousands of secondary school students. In the first exam period, students take their central exams for vmbo, havo, and vwo. This period continues until the end of May and is an important moment in their school career.<\/p>\n
The coming weeks will involve making exams, waiting for results, and sometimes tension at home. Schools inform students about the exact schedules and rules. After this first exam period, a second exam period follows in June, intended for retakes or for students who missed an exam.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"knop","knop":{"title":"More about the exam periods and the central exams","url":"https:\/\/oudersenonderwijs.nl\/kennisbank\/examens\/centraal-examen\/","target":""},"kleur":"primary"},{"acf_fc_layout":"extra_inhoud_blok","inhoud":"
