A.The gradual deterioration of a metal caused by chemical reaction with its environment
B.A sudden mechanical fracture under excessive load
C.The buildup of dust and debris on a surface
D.A loose electrical connection
Explanation: Corrosion is a gradual chemical process, such as oxidation (rusting), that deteriorates a metal over time.

B.Failure caused by a single instance of extreme overload
C.Failure caused by exposure to extreme heat
D.Failure caused by a manufacturing defect present from the start
Explanation: Fatigue failure develops from repeated cyclic stress over time, often at loads well below the material's normal breaking strength.
9What is a 'schematic diagram' used for in technical documentation?
A.To show the components of a system and how they are connected, using standardized symbols
B.To display a photograph of the finished product
C.To list the price of each component
D.To record the daily attendance of factory workers
Explanation: A schematic diagram uses standardized symbols to show a system's components and their connections, not physical appearance.
10When an engineer refers to a product's 'specifications,' they mean:
A.The detailed technical requirements and characteristics the product must meet
B.The marketing slogan used to advertise the product
C.The list of employees who built the product

About the Saarland Abitur Technik-Englisch Exam

Saarland Abitur TE-E is the written Profilfach for the Fachrichtung Technik in the berufliches Gymnasium examination in Technik-Englisch, administered under the GOS-VO. Unlike the general Englisch Kernfach exam, TE-E applies English specifically to technical and engineering content, assessing technical vocabulary, technical reading comprehension, grammar for technical communication, workplace communication, technical writing, and applied data/diagram interpretation. This free MCQ bank trains the underlying content before students practise the official applied case-study examination.

Exam sponsor: Ministerium für Bildung und Kultur Saarland (MBK). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

This 100-question bank is an MCQ study adaptation only — it does not simulate the real applied case-study and structured-problem examination.

Time Limit

180-210 minutes (Grundfach level)

Saarland Abitur Technik-Englisch: Suggested Study Strategy

1Build a technical vocabulary list by topic area (materials, processes, measurements) rather than memorizing isolated words.
2Practice reading real technical manuals, specifications, and safety instructions in English for gist and detail.
3Review passive-voice and conditional structures, since technical description and troubleshooting language relies heavily on both.
4Practice writing short technical process descriptions and summaries in clear, precise English.
5Work with technical diagrams and data sheets in English, practicing how to describe trends and values accurately.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Technik-Englisch (TE-E) as a Saarland Abitur subject?

Technik-Englisch (TE-E) is the applied English profile subject (gN, basic level) for students in the gymnasiale Oberstufe with Fachrichtung Technik, applying English specifically to technical and engineering material rather than literature or general cultural topics.

How does TE-E differ from the general Englisch exam on the Saarland Abitur?

The general Englisch Kernfach exam centers on literature, cultural themes, and mediation/translation, while TE-E works with technical case material, specifications, and data or source texts in English, reflecting the applied-subject format used across the Fachrichtung Technik profile subjects.

Is TE-E a full replacement for general English coursework?

No. TE-E develops technical and workplace English within the Fachrichtung Technik profile; it does not replace general English literature or composition study, and this MCQ bank is a study aid, not a substitute for practising extended English writing.
