About the BW Abitur Geography Bilingual EN Exam

Baden-Württemberg Geographie bilingual englisch is the English-medium written Abitur Geography assessment for the bilingual / Internationales Abitur Baden-Württemberg pathway. Content follows Bildungsplan 2016 Geographie Leistungsfach—System Erde, physical spheres (relief, atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, pedosphere), anthroposphere, and global challenges (climate change, cities under societal and natural change, disparities, Zukunftssicherung)—assessed with fragengeleitete Raumanalyse, English operators, and academic geography terminology. Official papers emphasize material analysis and constructed English responses rather than multiple choice. This free bank trains concept recognition, spatial reasoning, and operator-aligned judgment in English before students practice full official-style tasks.

Exam sponsor: Kultusministerium Baden-Württemberg (Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports); IBBW supports statewide Abitur task and correction materials. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

Official written Geographie bilingual englisch is a material-based constructed-response and spatial-analysis examination in English under the Internationales Abitur Baden-Württemberg / bilingual pathway. It shares the Geographie written slot and Fächerlass working time of 270 minutes including Auswahlzeit. Tasks use maps, diagrams, texts, and statistics with English geography operators across Anforderungsbereiche I–III (emphasis AFB II). Bilingual aids additionally include monolingual English and bilingual English–German dictionaries plus a German–English atlas glossary. Korrekturrichtlinien section IX addresses language accuracy and answers in German. This 100-question bank is an English MCQ study adaptation only—it does not simulate the official constructed-response format, selection strategy, atlas work, or timed written production.

Time Limit

270 minutes including selection (Fächerlass 2026 Geographie). Terminplan 2026 lists Geographie (inkl. bilingual Englisch) in the shared written window (e.g. Haupttermin 21.04.2026 from 09:00). Confirm exact dates and school instructions on the current KM-BW Detailplan.

Passing Score

Subject performance is reported on the 15-point Notenpunkte scale after conversion from Bewertungseinheiten. Overall Abitur award depends on the Gesamtqualifikation (up to 900 points; typically 600 from Kursleistungen and 300 from the Abiturprüfung) under AGVO/Leitfaden rules—not a single MCQ percent cut score.

Exam / Certification Fees

Regular school candidates do not pay a separate published statewide Geographie bilingual subject fee; the exam is taken through the Gymnasium pathway. Any external-candidate fees are local/authority-specific and not invented here.

Exam sponsor website

Fees, eligibility, and exam policies can change. Confirm them with the exam sponsor before applying or paying.
