School and central examinations

School Exam

The examination consists of the final central written exam and the school examination.

The school exam covers all upper secondary years. This means that in the fourth and fifth year of (t)vwo and in the fourth year of (t)havo, tests may already be taken that count towards the school examination mark. These tests fall under the Programme of Assessment and Completion (PTA).

Another part of the school exam is the profile paper. This paper shows that the student has mastered knowledge and skills and can study actively and independently.

Central Examination 2025

Examination regulations
At the beginning of the preliminary examination and examination year, pupils and parent(s)/carer(s) receive detailed information on the examination regulations. We provide the examination regulations no later than 1 October. They also receive a PTA booklet. This contains the examination regulations, the contents of the examination subjects and the organisation of the examination.

You can also view the 2025 exam schedule online at www.examenblad.nl.

Appeals Committee
We have an official School Examination Appeals Committee. This committee can be called in if you and your child feel that the exam committee has made incorrect decisions during the exams. The appeals committee’s decisions are binding.

Both for the competent authority and the exam candidate.

The postal address of the committee is:

Stedelijk College Eindhoven
Attn: Appeals Committee
P.O. Box 1310
5602 BH Eindhoven

Information Central Exam 2025
On mijneindexamen.nl you can find all general information about the central examinations such as practice exams, tips, rules and the timetable for the central examinations.

The first period for the written central examinations starts on Friday 9 May and ends on Monday 26 May 2025. The results for the first period will be on Thursday 12 June 2025.

The second period for the written central examinations will begin on Tuesday 17 June and end on Tuesday 24 June 2025. The announcement of the results for the second period is on Tuesday 1 July 2025.

The days and times when the Central Examinations will be held in the second period will be announced in March 2025.

The second period is exclusively for candidates who:

  • Examined in the first period and were admitted to the resit.
  • Could not take part in the final exam in the first period for a valid reason. This is the so-called postponed examination.

Provisional results for resits
The examination candidate is allowed to retake the examination for a subject in which he or she has taken examinations in the second period or -if applicable- in the third period. However, the candidate has to request this resit in writing to the programme director. The application makes the examination result provisional. After the resit, the result becomes final. The highest grade obtained will then count as the final grade.
