Exams & PTA
The final exam in secondary education consists of the school examination (also known as PTA or SE) and the central written exam (CE). The PTA starts in the examination year. In the pre-exam year, there may be tests, practical assignments or a portfolio that are already part of the school exam. Before 1 October, all exam students receive their PTA (programme of examination and conclusion), which lists the SE’s that will be taken.
.
The CE is the same nationwide for all pupils of the same type of education. Students are given the same exam questions for their compulsory subjects and electives. The central exam is always at the end of the last school year. The Ministry of Education, Culture and Science sets the central exam. For questions about the exam or the pta, contact the exam board: examen@grotius-lvo.nl
