Question 1

Is the official Sachsen-Anhalt Abitur Französisch exam multiple-choice?

Accepted Answer

No. The official written paper has three parts, all answered in French: 'Hörverstehen', based on authentic audio material; 'Schreiben mit integriertem Leseverstehen', an extended written response to a chosen literary or non-literary text; and 'Sprachmittlung in die Fremdsprache', a compulsory mediation task based on German-language source material. This bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation for learning and checking the underlying grammar, vocabulary and content — it is not a simulation of the official format and does not train listening comprehension, spoken production, or extended writing.

Question 2

When is the written Französisch exam in 2026?

Accepted Answer

Freitag, 8. Mai 2026 — the final written Abitur exam of the 2026 season in Sachsen-Anhalt, according to the Ministerium für Bildung's official Pressemitteilung: 'Die schriftlichen Abiturprüfungen enden am 8. Mai mit dem Fach Französisch.' Mündliche Prüfungen begin on 11 May 2026 and Zeugnisse are issued by 3 July 2026, with around 5,600 candidates sitting the 2026 Abitur in Sachsen-Anhalt across all subjects.

Question 3

How long is the written exam, and does it include a listening section?

Accepted Answer

Yes — unlike Spanisch and Italienisch, whose written papers add a graded Hörverstehen Prüfungsteil only from the 2027 exam year, Französisch already includes one in 2026, alongside Englisch and Russisch. The Gesamtarbeitszeit is 285 minutes at grundlegendem Anforderungsniveau (30 minutes Hörverstehen, 195 minutes Schreiben mit integriertem Leseverstehen including Auswahlzeit, 60 minutes Sprachmittlung) and 315 minutes at erhöhtem Anforderungsniveau (30 minutes Hörverstehen, 225 minutes Schreiben, 60 minutes Sprachmittlung). Permitted aids are a dictionary (mono- or bilingual) and a German spelling dictionary.

Question 4

Which content areas does the exam cover?

Accepted Answer

The Fachlehrplan Französisch Gymnasium (LISA, valid from 01.08.2022) prescribes eight Themenblöcke for the Qualifikationsphase: Modes de vie en transformation; Valeurs; La France et l'Allemagne au cœur de l'Europe; La France et la francophonie; L'individu dans la société; Le monde du travail; Les médias — multiples formes de communication au XXIe siècle; Les enjeux de la mondialisation. For the written exam's Schreiben-mit-Leseverstehen part specifically, four of these were designated as the binding Themenfelder for the 2026 session: Modes de vie en transformation, La France et la francophonie, L'individu dans la société, and Les enjeux de la mondialisation. At least one Ganzschrift and one film must be studied across the four Kurshalbjahre.

Question 5

Is Hörverstehen and Sprachmittlung restricted to the four binding Themenfelder?

Accepted Answer

No. The four Themenfelder restriction applies specifically to the literary and non-literary Wahlthemen of Prüfungsteil 2 (Schreiben mit integriertem Leseverstehen). The official Hinweise state explicitly that 'die Prüfungsteile Hörverstehen und Sprachmittlung bleiben von diesen thematischen Vorgaben unberührt' — both remain unaffected by the topic restriction and can draw on material from across the wider Fachlehrplan.

Question 6

Can I take Französisch if I only started it in the Oberstufe?

Accepted Answer

Französisch in Sachsen-Anhalt is generally offered as a fortgeführte Fremdsprache, continued from an earlier Schuljahrgang (as a second Fremdsprache from Schuljahrgang 7 or a third from Schuljahrgang 9) rather than begun from scratch in the Qualifikationsphase. Standard gymnasiale-Oberstufe admission rules apply, and at least one fortgeführte Fremdsprache or a Naturwissenschaft must be among your five Prüfungsfächer. Check your school's course offer and the current Informationserlass for the exact pathway available to you.

Question 7

Is there an exam fee?

Accepted Answer

No. The Abitur is a state school examination in Sachsen-Anhalt and regular enrolled candidates pay no fee. External-candidate arrangements are handled by the Landesschulamt and are not a published Französisch-specific fee.
