VMBO KB Engels study guide

VMBO KB Engels is the English component of the centraal examen for the kaderberoepsgerichte leerweg, the middle of the three vmbo learning routes. It is taken by candidates in their final year at a vmbo school in the Netherlands, and it tests practical English rather than literary or academic English: reading short and longer texts, listening to spoken fragments, writing short functional messages, and holding a short spoken conversation. The written papers are set nationally and taken in the same window for every school; the school-based components (schrijfvaardigheid and gespreksvaardigheid) are organised by your own teacher, who also marks them against the CvTE syllabi. The CvTE publishes the syllabi and the examination programme for the centrale examens vo and manages the state examinations; your school's Examenblad page carries the exact papers, aids and rules for your year. The VMBO KB Engels study guide has 4 sections and about 1,335 words.
