About the BW Abitur History Bilingual EN Exam
Geschichte bilingual englisch in the Baden-Württemberg Abitur (allgemein bildendes Gymnasium) is the English-medium bilingual History Sachfach governed by Bildungsplan/Bildungsstandards Geschichte, the annual Facherlass, and EPA Geschichte.

Typical Oberstufe Schwerpunktthemen include twentieth-century Herrschaftsmodelle (democracy under threat) and West/East Europe after 1945. Assessment uses Anforderungsbereiche I–III with emphasis on AFB II and Notenpunkte on a 0–15 scale. IBBW publishes Abituraufgaben on behalf of the Kultusministerium. This free bank offers 100 original English MCQs for concept and source-skill practice only; it is an English-language MCQ study adaptation of English-medium bilingual history source analysis and cannot replace timed full written responses.
