1According to KM Bayern's Abitur 2026 timetable, on which date did the written Leistungsfach examinations including Religionslehre (evangelisch, katholisch, israelitisch, orthodox) and Ethik take place?
A.Monday, 11 May 2026
B.Wednesday, 13 May 2026
C.Tuesday, 28 April 2026
D.Wednesday, 6 May 2026
Explanation: KM Bayern scheduled the written Leistungsfächer (erhöhtes Anforderungsniveau) — including Religionslehre — on Wednesday, 13 May 2026. 11 May was the corresponding day for remaining gA subjects; 28 April was Deutsch and 6 May was Mathematik.
2What is the official working time for the written Abitur in Religionslehre at erhöhtes Anforderungsniveau (GSO Anlage 8 / ISB IlluPA overview)?
A.210 minutes
B.240 minutes
C.270 minutes
D.300 minutes
Explanation: GSO Anlage 8 and the ISB overview for Religionslehre set 270 minutes at eA and 210 minutes at gA. The longer eA block matches the denser vernetzung and higher Bewertungseinheiten (120 BE) expected of a Leistungsfach paper.
3How many Bewertungseinheiten (BE) does the written eA paper in Religionslehre maximally award, according to ISB Illustrierende Prüfungsaufgaben guidance used for Bavarian Religionslehre from 2026?
A.90 BE
B.100 BE
C.120 BE
D.150 BE
Explanation: At erhöhtes Anforderungsniveau the written Religionslehre paper is scored out of 120 BE; at gA the maximum is 100 BE. Notenpunkte are then derived from the share of BE achieved.
4Which statement best captures how eA differs from gA in the written Orthodoxe Religionslehre Abitur, according to EPA-style criteria reflected in Bavarian IlluPA guidance?
A.eA replaces constructed response with machine-scored MCQs
B.eA shortens the paper to 150 minutes and removes choice among tasks
C.eA demands greater differentiation and abstraction, denser networking across Lernbereiche, more open task framing, and greater independence in structuring the answer — while still choosing one of four tasks
D.eA draws exclusively on IQB common task pools
Explanation: Both levels use one-of-four constructed-response tasks. The eA distinction lies in depth: higher differentiation/abstraction, vernetzung across Lernbereiche, openness of the prompt, and Selbstständigkeit in structuring — not in switching to MCQ or IQB pools.
5In LehrplanPLUS OR12 LB 1 (eA, ca. 28 Std.), what does the anthropological formula 'homo religiosus' primarily affirm?
A.That only ordained clergy are truly religious
B.That human beings are by nature open to transcendence and ultimate questions
C.That every citizen must belong to a registered church
D.That religious people are scientifically superior
Explanation: Homo religiosus names the human as a being oriented toward transcendence and meaning. At eA the Lernbereich expands conceptual work on definitions of religion and criteria of orientation amid plurality.
6Which feature most rigorously distinguishes 'religion' from a secular Weltanschauung in the curriculum's Begriffsklärung?
A.Having shared moral norms
B.Forming a community with rituals
C.Constitutive reference to a transcendent divine reality answered in revelation, worship and prayer
D.Offering an origin story for the cosmos
Explanation: Ethics, community, ritual and cosmogonies can all appear in secular worldviews. What marks religion strictly is the relation to transcendence expressed in revelation and worship.
7Why does OR12 LB 1 insist on holding 'Wahrheitsanspruch' and 'Toleranz' together rather than collapsing one into the other?
A.Because the state must declare which religion is true
B.Because tolerance requires abandoning every truth claim
C.Because genuine dialogue respects persons and real differences without dissolving truth claims into relativism
D.Because truth claims make dialogue impossible
Explanation: The curriculum rejects both coercive adjudication of truth by the state and relativism that empties religions of substance. Tolerance means esteem for persons plus critical Unterscheidung among claims.
8A classmate says: 'Brand loyalty to a tech company is a religion — logos, pilgrimages to product launches, sacred founders.' Which eA-level analysis fits the curriculum's distinction between religion and Religionsäquivalent?
A.Any community with symbols is ipso facto a religion
B.The analogy correctly notes functional similarities (ritual, identity, meaning), but without constitutive transcendence the phenomenon remains at most a Religionsäquivalent
C.Brand loyalty can never involve ritual or myth
D.It becomes a full religion once the company owns large buildings
Explanation: eA trains precise Abgrenzung: functional analogies illuminate how meaning-making works, yet the transcendence criterion prevents equating fandom or brand cults with religion proper.
9Which list best names functions of religion in culture and society as treated in OR12 LB 1?
A.Answering ultimate questions of meaning, coping with contingency, forming community, and orienting ethical action
B.Eliminating all suffering, replacing state law, and guaranteeing wealth
C.Providing laboratory methods, weather control, and stock forecasts
D.Enforcing political uniformity and forbidding all doubt
Explanation: Religion's sinnstiftendes Potential includes meaning, contingency-coping, community and ethical orientation — not technical mastery of nature or coercive politics.
10At eA, students are expected to 'arbeiten Kriterien für die eigene religiöse Orientierung heraus' amid plurality. Which criterion set best matches an Orthodox educational aim rather than indifferent relativism?
A.Choose whatever maximizes social prestige
B.Test claims by coherence with Scripture and Holy Tradition, fruit in love and truthfulness, and capacity for dialogue without self-erasure
C.Always prefer the numerically largest religion
D.Refuse all criteria, since every claim is equally true
Explanation: Orthodox orientation criteria bind conscience to living Tradition while leaving room for respectful encounter. Relativism and prestige-maximizing are not the curriculum's goals.
