About the BRP Exam
The Berufsreifeprüfung (BRP) is an Austrian federal qualification established under the Berufsreifeprüfungsgesetz (BRPG) that provides individuals with initial vocational training (apprenticeship / Lehrabschluss, BMS) full, unrestricted access to Austrian and European universities, Fachhochschulen, and colleges (uneingeschränkte Allgemeine Hochschulreife). The examination consists of four modular partial exams (Teilprüfungen): German (standardized central Klausur plus oral presentation), Mathematics (standardized central Klausur), a Modern Foreign Language (typically English at CEFR B2 level), and a Vocational Field (Fachbereich) related to the candidate's professional occupation. Candidates must complete at least the final partial exam before a statutory commission at an accredited public higher school. This practice question bank provides an English-language MCQ study adaptation training core mathematical competencies, German text-analysis principles, professional English, and applied business/technical concepts.
Assessment
Four distinct partial examinations: 1. Deutsch (central SRDP Klausur + oral), 2. Mathematik (central SRDP Klausur), 3. Lebende Fremdsprache (written or oral), 4. Fachbereich (applied vocational project or exam). At least one exam must be taken at a public higher school.
Time Limit
270 to 300 minutes per written exam; total testing time varies across the 4 modules.
Passing Score
Grade 4 (Genügend) or better on the 1–5 scale for each of the 4 partial exams.
Exam Fee
Free of charge under the 'Berufsmatura: Lehre mit Reifeprüfung' funding programme, which covers both preparation courses and the Teilprüfungen for apprentices. Other candidates pay federal stamp duties per step (roughly €21 on admission, €27.80–€55.60 per Teilprüfung depending on whether an oral part is included, €36.30 for a Kompensationsprüfung and €21 per certificate; rates are set nationally and change from time to time) plus any course fees charged by the adult-education provider. (Standardised papers from the Bundesministerium für Bildung (BMB), Abteilung III/6; the credential and its adult-education framework sit with the Bundesministerium für Frauen, Wissenschaft und Forschung (BMFWF); examinations are held by the Prüfungskommission of the admitting public höhere Schule under the Berufsreifeprüfungsgesetz (BRPG).)
BRP Exam Content Outline
Standardized German (Deutsch)
The seven standardized text types (Erörterung, Kommentar, Leserbrief, Meinungsrede, Textanalyse, Textinterpretation, Zusammenfassung), text analysis, and the oral examination.
Standardized Mathematics (Angewandte Mathematik, Cluster P)
The BHS Angewandte Mathematik paper: Teil A (24 points) plus Teil B Cluster P (18 points), 42 points in 270 minutes, covering arithmetic, algebra, functional modelling, calculus and statistics.
Foreign Language (English B2)
CEFR B2 reading comprehension, grammar in context, professional terminology, and written/oral discourse.
Vocational Specialty & Project Methodology (Fachbereich)
Discipline-specific business administration, accounting, technical systems, and project methodology.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Berufsreifeprüfung (BRP)?
The Berufsreifeprüfung (also known as Berufsmatura) is an Austrian federal examination pathway governed by the BRPG that allows people with completed vocational training or apprenticeships to earn a full, unrestricted university entrance qualification (Hochschulreife).
What are the four partial exams of the BRP?
The BRP comprises four partial examinations: German (central standardized Klausur plus oral presentation), Mathematics (central standardized Klausur), a Modern Foreign Language (typically English at CEFR B2 level), and a Vocational Specialty (Fachbereich) drawn from the candidate's professional domain.
Who is eligible to take the Berufsreifeprüfung?
Eligibility requires a completed vocational education (such as a Lehrabschlussprüfung / apprenticeship certificate, completion of a 3-year Fachschule/BMS, or Meisterprüfung). Candidates must be at least 19 years old to sit for their final partial exam.
What is 'Lehre mit Matura'?
'Lehre mit Matura' is a government-funded initiative in Austria allowing apprentices to prepare for and sit the Berufsreifeprüfung free of charge during their apprenticeship period.
Where are BRP exams taken?
Preparation courses can be taken at adult education institutes (such as WIFI, BFI, or VHS), but candidates must be registered at an accredited public higher school (Externistenprüfungsschule), where at least the final partial exam must be taken before an official commission.
Does the Berufsreifeprüfung publish percentage weightings between its four Teilprüfungen?
No. Each of the four Teilprüfungen is graded separately on the 1–5 scale and all four must be positive; no official percentage weighting exists between them. The percentages shown on this page describe how our practice bank distributes its own questions, not an official blueprint.
How are practice questions on OpenExamPrep adapted for the BRP?
The BRP is conducted in German. Deutsch and the Fachbereich each combine a written paper with an oral examination, and the Fachbereich may instead take the form of a project with presentation and discussion. This bank is an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation, not an official translation and not a simulation of the exam format. It trains foundational mathematical problem solving, text-type recognition, grammatical analysis and business/technical concepts, but it cannot substitute for the written Klausuren, the oral examinations or the Fachbereich project.
