About the Saxony Abitur Physics Exam
Saxony Abitur Physik is the state Physics examination for the Allgemeine Hochschulreife, taken as Leistungskursfach or Grundkursfach under SMK regulations (VwV Abiturprüfung 2026). Content follows the KMK Bildungsstandards Physik AHR (2020) as implemented in Sachsen: Elektrische und magnetische Felder; Mechanische und elektromagnetische Schwingungen und Wellen; and Quantenphysik und Materie, with mechanics foundations assumed. This free bank of 100 original multiple-choice questions is an English-language study adaptation with substantial worked-calculation items using real formulas and verified numeric answers. It is not a simulation of the official exam, which is written in German, built from four offered Aufgaben of which three must be worked (one fachpraktisch), and scored in Bewertungseinheiten.
Exam sponsor: Sächsisches Staatsministerium für Kultus (SMK). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.
Assessment
Official written Saxony Abitur examination in Physik, sat as Leistungskursfach or Grundkursfach. Tasks are materialgestützt and relate predominantly to the KMK Bildungsstandards Inhaltsbereiche Elektrische und magnetische Felder; Mechanische und elektromagnetische Schwingungen und Wellen; and Quantenphysik und Materie (SMK Musteraufgaben / VwV Abiturprüfung 2026). This 100-question bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation only — it does not reproduce the German-language multi-part written format or any practical component.
Time Limit
Written: 300 minutes (including Auswahlzeit) + 15 minutes for the fachpraktische Aufgabe at Leistungskurs level; 255 minutes (including Auswahlzeit) + 15 minutes for the fachpraktische Aufgabe at Grundkurs level (VwV Abiturprüfung 2026). Permitted aids include the IQB Mathematisch-naturwissenschaftliche Formelsammlung and a scientific calculator meeting the post-2025 rules. In 2026 the written Physik date was Thursday 23 April 2026 (Nachtermin: Tuesday 19 May 2026).
Passing Score
Subject performance is reported on the 0–15 Punkte scale (Note 1 = 15–13 Punkte, Note 6 = 0 Punkte). Written Physik uses Bewertungseinheiten on the 100-BE scale (Leistungskurs) or 80-BE scale (Grundkurs). The Gesamtqualifikation and Durchschnittsnote follow Saxon Oberstufe/Abitur rules and the national KMK conversion table.
Exam / Certification Fees
No exam fee for regular enrolled school candidates; the Abitur is a state school examination in Sachsen under the SMK. External and second-chance routes follow SMK arrangements and do not carry a published Physik-specific fee.

Saxony Abitur Physics: Suggested Study Strategy
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the official Saxony Physik Abitur exam multiple-choice?
No. The official written paper is a German-language Klausur: four Aufgaben are offered and you must work three, including exactly one with a fachpraktischer Anteil. Tasks combine derivations, numeric calculations, material interpretation and short explanations. This bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation for learning and checking content and calculation skills, not a simulation of the official format.
Why are the questions in English when the exam is in German?
This bank is a study aid for building factual and quantitative command of the Bildungsstandards content in English. Physical quantities, formulas and constants are universal, and German terms — Inhaltsbereich, Formelsammlung, Wirkungsquantum, Bewertungseinheiten — are preserved where useful so you can transfer concepts into German-language revision.
Which content does the exam cover?
Per the KMK Bildungsstandards Physik AHR and Saxon SMK Musteraufgaben/VwV guidance, written Aufgaben relate predominantly to Elektrische und magnetische Felder; Mechanische und elektromagnetische Schwingungen und Wellen; and Quantenphysik und Materie, with mechanics and earlier electricity as assumed foundations.
How much of the exam involves calculation?
A substantial share. Saxon Physik Abitur tasks routinely require applying formulas — Coulomb, Lorentz, induction, oscillator periods, wave relations, photoelectric equation and more — with real numeric setups. This bank emphasises genuine worked-calculation items with verified numeric answers alongside conceptual checks.
How long is the written exam?
VwV Abiturprüfung 2026 sets Gesamtarbeitszeit (including Auswahlzeit) at 300 minutes for the Leistungskursfach and 255 minutes for the Grundkursfach in Physik, each plus 15 minutes for the Aufgabe with fachpraktischem Anteil. Confirm the current VwV through your school or schule.sachsen.de.
When was the exam held in 2026?
In the 2026 main session the written Physik exam was set for Thursday 23 April 2026, with Nachtermin on Tuesday 19 May 2026 (SMK / schule.sachsen.de timetable).
Is there an exam fee?
No. The Abitur is a state school examination in Sachsen and regular enrolled school candidates pay no fee. Schulfremde and second-chance routes follow SMK arrangements without a published Physik-specific fee.
