About the Hamburg Abitur Physik Exam

Hamburg's zentrale schriftliche Abiturprüfung in Physik is administered by BSFB under A-Heft 2026 and Bildungsplan Studienstufe 2022 (Rahmenplan Physik). Candidates choose three of four material-based Aufgaben. 2026 Schwerpunkte map to Themenbereiche: (1) elektrische und magnetische Felder, (2) mechanische und elektromagnetische Schwingungen und Wellen, (3) Quantenphysik und Materie. Working times: gA 255 / eA 300 minutes without separate Auswahlzeit. Permitted aids: non-programmable non-graphing calculator, drawing aids, approved Formeldokument, Rechtschreibwörterbuch. Papers are German. This free English MCQ bank trains concept recognition and calculation judgment before students practise full official-style tasks.

Exam sponsor: Behörde für Schule, Familie und Berufsbildung (BSFB), Freie und Hansestadt Hamburg. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

Official written Physik (A-Heft 2026): Fachlehrkraft receives four Aufgaben (I–IV) to different Inhaltsbereiche. Prüfling receives all four, chooses and completes three, notes which were worked, and must verify completeness before starting. Aufgabenart: materialgebundene Aufgabe (figures, texts, experiments, tables, graphs). Each Aufgabe focuses on one of Themenbereiche I–III of the Rahmenplan and may include further content. gA and eA share themes; eA has a qualitative/quantitative Additum. Marking uses Bewertungseinheiten / Erwartungshorizont converted to Notenpunkte. This 100-question English MCQ bank is a study adaptation only—it does not simulate official German constructed-response format or selection strategy.

Time Limit

Bearbeitungszeit: gA 255 minutes; eA 300 minutes. A separate Lese- or Auswahlzeit is not granted (A-Heft Physik 2026).

Passing Score

Subject results use Bewertungseinheiten converted to Notenpunkte (0–15). Overall Abitur depends on Gesamtqualifikation under Hamburg APO-AH rules—not a single MCQ percent cut score.

Exam / Certification Fees

Regular school candidates do not pay a separate published statewide Physik subject fee; the exam is taken through the Hamburg Studienstufe pathway. External-candidate fees, if any, are authority-specific and not invented here.

Hamburg Abitur Physik: Suggested Study Strategy

1Drill Inhaltsbereich vocabulary in German even while using this English MCQ bank—the official paper is German.
2Practise field calculations (E=U/d, F=qE, F=qvB, W=½CU²), Federpendel (T=2π√(m/k)), wave relations (c=fλ, double-slit path difference), and photon/de Broglie energies with the Formeldokument.
3Do not treat Thomson’s LC equation, Bohr’s model, or the Rydberg formula as A-Heft 2026 presuppositions.
4Use the full sitting strategically: there is no separate Auswahlzeit—scan all four Aufgaben quickly within the 255/300 minutes.
5After MCQs, work full material-based Aufgaben under timed selection of 3 of 4 tasks.
6Check the current A-Heft PDF, Formeldokument list, and school Abiturkalender before exam day.
