Sample Bavaria Abitur Italian eA Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Bavaria Abitur Italian eA exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Complete with the congiuntivo presente: "Dubito che Luca ___ la verità." (dire)
A.dica
B.dice
C.direbbe
D.disse
Explanation: After dubitare che (doubt), Italian requires the congiuntivo: Dubito che Luca dica. The indicativo would assert the fact rather than frame it as doubt — a core eA mood contrast.
2Choose the correct form: "È necessario che voi ___ prima delle otto." (arrivare)
A.arriviate
B.arrivate
C.arrivereste
D.arrivaste
Explanation: Impersonal expressions of necessity (è necessario che, è importante che) take the congiuntivo: arriviate (2nd person plural presente).
3Complete: "Sebbene ___ molto stanca, Chiara ha finito il saggio." (essere)
A.fosse
B.era
C.sarebbe
D.sia stata
Explanation: Sebbene/benché require the congiuntivo. With a past main clause (ha finito), the congiuntivo imperfetto fosse is the natural past-aligned choice for a simultaneous past concession.
4Select the correct periodo ipotetico of realtà: "Se ___ tempo, vengo con te." (avere)
A.ho
B.avessi
C.avessi avuto
D.avrò avuto
Explanation: The periodo ipotetico of realtà pairs se + indicativo with an indicativo result: Se ho tempo, vengo.
5Complete the possibilità pattern: "Se ___ di più, passeresti l'esame." (studiare)
A.studiassi
B.studi
C.hai studiato
D.avessi studiato
Explanation: Possibilità uses se + congiuntivo imperfetto and condizionale presente: Se studiassi di più, passeresti.
6Choose the irrealtà del passato: "Se ___ avvisato, non sarei partito." (essere)
A.fossi stato
B.fossi
C.sono stato
D.sarò stato
Explanation: Past counterfactual: se + congiuntivo trapassato + condizionale passato: Se fossi stato avvisato, non sarei partito.
7Complete: "Prima che il treno ___, dobbiamo comprare i biglietti." (partire)
A.parta
B.parte
C.partiva
D.partirebbe
Explanation: Prima che always takes the congiuntivo: Prima che il treno parta.
8Which form best completes this past emotion trigger? "Temevo che non ___ in tempo." (arrivare)
A.arrivasse
B.arrivi
C.arrivava
D.arriverà
Explanation: A past emotion verb (temevo) triggers congiuntivo imperfetto for a simultaneous feared event: arrivasse.
9Complete with the congiuntivo passato: "Mi dispiace che tu non ___ alla festa." (venire)
A.sia venuto/a
B.venga
C.venissi
D.sei venuto/a
Explanation: Present regret about a prior event uses congiuntivo passato after mi dispiace che: sia venuto/a.
10Choose the correct continuation: "Avrei telefonato, ma non ___ il tuo numero." (avere)
A.avevo
B.avrei
C.avessi
D.ho avuto
Explanation: The second clause states a real past obstacle, so indicativo imperfetto avevo is natural beside condizionale passato avrei telefonato.

About the Bavaria Abitur Italian eA Exam

Italienisch as Leistungsfach (erhöhtes Anforderungsniveau) is a modern foreign language in the Aufgabenfeld sprachlich-literarisch-künstlerisch, taught with 5 weekly hours in the Qualifikationsphase and examined as a compulsory written Abitur subject. officialLanguages: ['it'] — the object language of the exam is Italian (Italian texts, Italian production, German→Italian mediation); German is the administrative language of the Bavarian Abitur. The 2026 written eA exam (first G9 cohort) follows LehrplanPLUS Gymnasium Italienisch 12/13 (erhöhtes Anforderungsniveau), whose Kompetenzbereiche cover Hör-/Hörsehverstehen, Leseverstehen, Sprechen, Schreiben and Sprachmittlung at a higher cognitive and linguistic ceiling than gA, with Themengebiete including migration, autonomous regions, sustainability, current social issues, literature and culture. Compared with gA, eA uses longer Schreiben bases (max. 1000 vs 800 words), longer total working time (~315 vs ~285 minutes) and more abstract mediation tasks while keeping the same three-part structure and 20/55/25 weighting. This free bank offers 100 original English-language MCQs — with Italian text where the language itself is the tested skill — as a study adaptation only; it discloses that it is an English MCQ adaptation, not an official translation of any Abitur task, does not simulate live listening or extended writing, and cannot replace preparation for the constructed-response paper or the Kolloquium.

Exam sponsor: Bayerisches Staatsministerium für Unterricht und Kultus (KM Bayern); the Staatsinstitut für Schulqualität und Bildungsforschung (ISB) publishes LehrplanPLUS curricula and illustrierende Prüfungsaufgaben. Italienisch is not in the IQB common task pools, so tasks are Bavaria-specific.. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

Per the KM regulations for modern foreign languages at erhöhtes Anforderungsniveau, the written eA Italienisch exam has three parts: A Hörverstehen (~30 minutes; 20 %), B Schreiben (225 minutes; 55 %; choice between fictional and non-fictional text of max. 1000 words; B.1 comprehension, B.2 analysis, B.3 production with B.3.1/B.3.2 choice) and C Sprachmittlung (60 minutes; 25 %; situated mediation of a German text of 400–650 words into Italian, with eA distinguishing itself by complexity, abstractness and task demand). Marks combine 60 % language and 40 % content, and the Sperrklausel caps a Teilaufgabe at 3 Notenpunkte if either dimension is insufficient. This OpenExamPrep bank is a free English-language MCQ study adaptation — not an official translation, not a format simulation, and not a substitute for official writing, listening and oral practice. Disclosure: English MCQ adaptation of receptive/mediation judgment and grammar/culture skills.

Time Limit

Written eA exam date 2026: 13 May 2026 ('alle weiteren Abiturprüfungsfächer – erhöhtes Anforderungsniveau', km.bayern.de).

The Abitur certificate (Allgemeine Hochschulreife) requires a Gesamtqualifikation of at least 300 of 900 points: up to 600 from Q-phase coursework and up to 300 from the five Abitur exams (KM Bayern).

Bavaria Abitur Italian eA: Suggested Study Strategy

1Drill the full congiuntivo paradigm, including trapassato after past triggers (avevo paura che fosse partito) and after conjunctions that shift back in time.
2Practise mixed periodo ipotetico patterns (Se avessi studiato, ora saprei…) until tense pairing is automatic under time pressure.
3For Schreiben B.2, annotate literary and non-literary texts for narrative perspective, modality and argument structure before drafting analysis.
4Train Sprachmittlung on abstract German sources (migration statistics, sustainability policy, regional autonomy): mark audience, register and what to omit or explain interculturally.
5Build pronoun and relative-clause chains under hypotaxis: pronomi doppi + cui/il cui + preceding-object agreement in one sentence.
6Use the official ISB illustrierende Prüfungsaufgaben for full-format writing and listening rehearsal; use this MCQ bank for targeted grammar, vocabulary, Landeskunde and mediation-judgment drills only.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the official Bavarian Italienisch eA Abitur a multiple-choice test?

No. The official written eA exam is constructed-response: Hörverstehen, Schreiben and Sprachmittlung with authentic texts. This bank is a free English-language MCQ study adaptation only — disclosed as such, not an official translation and not a format simulation.

When is the 2026 written eA Italienisch exam?

On 13 May 2026, the date km.bayern.de sets for 'alle weiteren Abiturprüfungsfächer – erhöhtes Anforderungsniveau' (all eA subjects other than the separately dated core subjects).

How does eA timing and text length differ from gA?

At eA, Hörverstehen is ~30 minutes (20 %), Schreiben 225 minutes (55 %) and Sprachmittlung 60 minutes (25 %) — about 315 minutes total. The Schreiben text basis may run up to 1000 words (vs max. 800 at gA). Weighting of the three parts is the same 20/55/25 structure.

What is Sprachmittlung at eA?

Prüfungsteil C asks you to mediate a German text of 400–650 words into Italian within a situated, addressee-oriented task. eA distinguishes itself by complexity, abstractness and claim level of the source and task — it is still not literal translation.

How is the exam marked?

In Schreiben and Sprachmittlung, language counts 60 % and content 40 %; the Sperrklausel caps a Teilaufgabe at 3 Notenpunkte if either language or content is insufficient. Overall, the Abitur requires at least 300 of 900 points (up to 600 from coursework, up to 300 from the exams).

Who sets the Italienisch eA Abitur tasks in Bavaria?

The Bayerisches Staatsministerium für Unterricht und Kultus regulates the exam; the ISB publishes LehrplanPLUS and the illustrierende Prüfungsaufgaben. Italienisch is not part of the IQB common task pools, so the tasks are Bavaria-specific. As Leistungsfach, eA Italienisch is a compulsory written Abitur subject.
