C.Only reference works for German spelling (Nachschlagewerke der deutschen Rechtschreibung)

6Who sets the written Abitur tasks for Geschichte at Leistungskurs level in Berlin 2026, and at what requirement level?
A.Zentral gestellt: set jointly for Berlin and Brandenburg by the SenBJF and the MBJS, at erhöhtes Anforderungsniveau
B.Each Gymnasium writes and marks its own Geschichte tasks, at grundlegendes Anforderungsniveau
C.The KMK writes one identical Geschichte exam for all sixteen Länder
D.Only Brandenburg's MBJS writes the tasks, which Berlin merely adopts unchanged
Explanation: Berlin and Brandenburg run a joint central Abitur: the written tasks are zentral gestellt by the SenBJF (Berlin) together with the MBJS (Brandenburg). As a Leistungsfach/Leistungskurs exam, Geschichte is examined at erhöhtes Anforderungsniveau, demanding deepened methodical command and wissenschaftspropädeutisches understanding.
7Which statement about the Lese- und Auswahlzeit in the Berlin LK Geschichte Abitur 2026 is correct?
A.It is granted on top of the 270 minutes as an extra half hour
B.It is fixed at exactly 30 minutes and invigilators enforce when candidates must stop choosing
C.It applies only to Grundkurs candidates, not to the Leistungskurs
D.It is part of the 270-minute total and should not exceed 30 minutes; candidates may start writing within it
Explanation: The Hinweise state that the Gesamtbearbeitungszeit of 270 minutes already includes an individual reading and selection time that should not exceed 30 minutes. It is an individual phase — candidates themselves decide when to begin working on their chosen task.
8In historical method, what distinguishes a Quelle (source) from a Darstellung (representation)?
A.A Quelle is always a written text, while a Darstellung is always an image
B.A Quelle is a surviving trace from the past itself, while a Darstellung is a later account that interprets the past
C.A Quelle is objective and a Darstellung is always false
D.Quellen are produced by historians, Darstellungen by eyewitnesses
Explanation: Quellen are remnants of the past itself — texts, images, objects, buildings — from which we gain knowledge. Darstellungen are later representations (e.g. a historian's monograph or article) that select, order, and interpret Quellen. The EPA Aufgabenart Erörtern works with Darstellungen, while Interpretieren works with Quellen.
9What is the methodologically correct sequence for working with a historical source in an Interpretation task?
A.Personal opinion first, then selection of fitting quotes, then grading of the author
B.Translation, then memorising, then recitation
C.Formal source analysis (type, author, date, addressee, context), then content interpretation, then evaluation and source criticism in relation to the Themenfrage
D.Counting rhetorical figures, then listing dates, then writing a summary
Explanation: Quellenarbeit begins with the formal analysis (Quellengattung, author, time, context, intended audience), proceeds to interpreting content and message, and ends with an evaluation: reliability, bias, and what the source can and cannot answer for the given Fragestellung.
10What characterises Darstellen in Form einer historischen Argumentation as an EPA Aufgabenart?
A.A thesis-led, evidence-based answer to the Themenfrage that orders facts into a reasoned historical argument
B.A neutral retelling of everything the candidate remembers about the epoch
C.A bullet-point list of dates, names, and battles
D.A creative first-person narrative written from an invented eyewitness perspective
Explanation: Historische Argumentation requires a clear position on the Themenfrage, structured reasoning, and the use of material and own knowledge as evidence for claims. It differs from mere reproduction because facts serve an argument and end in a substantiated Sach- or Werturteil.
