Administration LVS BES
Assistance in preparation and administration
We can support the schools in the preparation and administration of the tests. You can send an email to helpdesk.lvsbes@derolfgroep.nl.
Scheduling tests
It is important to schedule when and which tests will be administered at your school during the testing period. The digital Reading, Listening and Basic Math test is administered in the classroom. The Writing paper test is also administered in the classroom. The Speaking test is administered individually (teacher and student).
Example of testing period LVS BES (Basic Math, Reading, Listening, Writing, Speaking per language1)
Day 1 | Day 2 |
1 lesson for Reading | 1 lesson for Listening |
1 lesson for Writing | 1 lesson for Basic Math |
1 The speaking tests are administered individually. Therefore we advise to spread those tests over a longer period of time/multiple lessons.
2 If a student has to take tests for Dutch as a Foreign Language and English, you should spread the tests over more than two days.
All information about the tests can be found in the Test Administration Manual.
Preparing for the tests
We recommend taking a look at the sample tests with your students in class the week before the tests. Your students can also do these sample tests themselves. The sample tests consist of a limited number of questions so that your students can get used to the method of questioning and answering.

- Instructional videos test platform LVS BES
- Test Administration Manual
There are sample tests NVT and English for the levels PreA1-A1 and A2-B1: online for Reading and Listening, on paper for Writing and Speaking. In these sample tests two levels are combined, the ‘real’ tests consist of one level.
There are two sample tests for Basic Math, one for primary education (level group 3-1S) and one for secundary education (level <1F- 1F).
Let your students make a sample test that corresponds with the level you want to test.
