The grades for the subjects social studies, CKV/Design and the profile paper are part of the combined grade. If a student has chosen the subject HavoPro, this grade also forms part of the combined grade. The final grade for each of these components must not be lower than 4. For gymnasts, the subject CKV/Design does not exist. For them, only the grades for social studies and the profile paper are part of the combination grade.

A havo student for whom the subject of mathematics is not part of his/her curriculum must have taken a school exam in mathematics. The result of this is stated on an appendix to the grade list and does not influence the result of the exam.
