A.A prose composition into Greek and an oral recitation
B.A source analysis of German secondary texts and a historical essay
C.A Texterschließung/Übersetzung (text comprehension and translation) task and an Interpretationsaufgabe (interpretation task)
D.A grammar multiple-choice section and a vocabulary dictation
Explanation: The Berlin PS 2026 Leistungskurs prescribe two Aufgabenformate: Texterschließung (Dekodierung) and Übersetzung (Rekodierung) of a Greek original, plus an Interpretationsaufgabe on a Greek text with an attached German translation. Candidates choose one Aufgabe from each pair of offerings.
2How do the task parts count toward the final grade (Gesamtnote) in the 2026 Berlin Altgriechisch LK Abitur?
A.Texterschließung/Übersetzung 50% (10% comprehension, 40% translation), Interpretation 40%, Sprache und Form 10%
B.Translation 80% and Interpretation 20%
C.Interpretation 60%, translation 30%, vocabulary test 10%
D.All sub-tasks weighted equally at 25% each
Explanation: PS Altgriechisch 2026 LK fix the weighting: Texterschließung und Übersetzung together 50% (10% Texterschließung, 40% Übersetzung), Interpretation 40%, and Sprache und Form 10%. Translation quality is therefore the single biggest lever.
3Approximately how long is the Greek original text set for the Texterschließung/Übersetzung task in the Leistungskurs (as opposed to the Grundkurs)?
A.About 60 words
B.About 100 words
C.About 200 words
D.About 145 words (Grundkurs about 130 words)
Explanation: PS Altgriechisch 2026 specify a Greek original of ca. 145 words for the Leistungskurs and ca. 130 words for the Grundkurs. The slightly longer LK text matches the higher Anforderungsniveau.
4Which statement correctly describes the Interpretationsaufgabe prescribed for 2026 Altgriechisch LK?
A.It uses a Greek text with an attached German translation (EPA type II), consists of several sub-tasks, and may include visual material
B.It requires translating a second unseen text without any dictionary
C.It is an English-language essay on Greek history with no text provided
D.It asks for a free retelling of a myth learned by heart, with no textual basis
Explanation: The interpretation task follows EPA type II: the Greek original is given together with a German translation, so candidates analyse rather than decode. It comprises several Teilaufgaben centred on Anforderungsbereich II (Transfer, Analyse, Reorganisation) and can include visual sources.
5When and with what working time does the Altgriechisch Leistungsfach written exam take place in the 2026 Haupttermin?
A.Monday 04.05.2026, 300 minutes including Lese- und Auswahlzeit (max. 30 minutes), per Prüfungsschwerpunkte Altgriechisch 2026 LK
B.Monday 04.05.2026, 90 minutes like a normal Klausur

D.Two exam days of 150 minutes each in June 2026
Explanation: The official Prüfungsplan sets LF ALT-GRIECHISCH for Monday 04.05.2026 (written exams begin 09:00). Prüfungsschwerpunkte Altgriechisch 2026 Leistungskurs set the Arbeitszeit at 300 minutes including individuelle Lese- und Auswahlzeit of at most 30 minutes.
6Which aids are permitted in the Berlin Altgriechisch Abitur according to PS 2026?
A.No aids of any kind at any point
B.Any online machine translator on a school laptop
C.A personal bilingual edition with the candidate's own translations
D.A bilingual (Greek–German) dictionary and a German orthography reference work
Explanation: PS Altgriechisch 2026 allow a Zweisprachiges Wörterbuch and a Nachschlagewerk zur deutschen Rechtschreibung. Electronic translators and annotated bilingual editions are not permitted. The dictionary matters most for the Übersetzung of the unseen Greek text.
7The four 2026 Prüfungsschwerpunkte (a Fortschreibung of 2025) tie the tasks to the four Kurshalbjahre. Which Schwerpunkt applies specifically to the Leistungskurs (the Grundkurs instead sets 'Gute Politiker – schlechte Politiker')?
A.Das Bild des Sokrates
B.Mensch und Gott bei Homer
C.Heldenfiguren in der Tragödie
D.Wahrheit und Täuschung
Explanation: PS Altgriechisch 2026 list Heldenfiguren in der Tragödie as LK Interpretationsthema 3, while the GK document lists Gute Politiker – schlechte Politiker for the same slot. Sokrates, Homer, and Wahrheit und Täuschung appear for both levels.
8Why is Sokrates' reliance on written sources a particular problem for reconstructing 'das Bild des Sokrates'?
A.All his manuscripts were burned in the library of Alexandria
B.He wrote nothing himself, so we depend on portraits by Platon, Xenophon and Aristophanes that diverge
C.His works survive only in Latin translations by Cicero
D.Athens banned all writing about him after 399 BC
Explanation: Sokrates left no writings; the 'Socratic problem' is that our main witnesses — Platon's dialogues, Xenophon's Memorabilia and Aristophanes' comedy Wolken — paint incompatible pictures. Reconstructing the historical Sokrates means triangulating these biased sources.
9In 399 BC Sokrates was condemned to death by an Athenian court. Which charges (Anklagepunkte) were brought against him?
A.Corrupting the youth and not honouring the gods of the city while introducing new divine powers (asebeia)
B.Treason with Sparta during the Peloponnesian War
C.Embezzlement of temple funds and perjury
D.Teaching rhetoric for money without a licence
Explanation: The formal indictment by Meletos, Anytos and Lykon accused Sokrates of corrupting the young (διαφθείρειν τοὺς νέους) and of not recognising the city's gods while introducing new daimonia. Behind it lay political resentment after the fall of the Thirty in 403 BC.
10What is the elenchus (ἔλεγχος) in the Socratic method?
A.A sacrificial ritual Sokrates performed at Delphi
B.A form of poetic praise for Athenian war heroes
C.A refutation technique that tests a partner's claim through questions until its contradiction with other beliefs becomes visible
D.A mnemonic device for memorising Homer
Explanation: In the elenchus Sokrates questions an interlocutor's definition (e.g. of piety or courage) until the partner sees that it conflicts with his own other convictions. The method exposes false certainty and initiates the search for knowledge, as seen in Platon's early dialogues.

Berlin Abitur Ancient Greek LK: Suggested Study Strategy

1Use Auswahlzeit to pick the Übersetzung author/theme you can parse fastest; return unused tasks before deep work.
2Drill full German Übersetzungen of ~145-word Attic/epic passages under timed conditions with only print dictionary + spelling reference.
3For Interpretation, practise AFB II analysis on bilingual texts: structure, Stilmittel, values, and Heldenfigur evaluation.
4Map the four 2026 Schwerpunkte to authors you actually read in Q1–Q4; LK tragedy focus is Heldenfiguren, not GK Politikertypen.
5Remember Übersetzung is 40% alone within the 50% Texterschließung/Übersetzung block—accuracy beats elegant paraphrase that drifts.
