Sample Sachsen-Anhalt Abitur Information Technology Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Sachsen-Anhalt Abitur Information Technology exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1The Sachsen-Anhalt Fachlehrplan Informationstechnik lists the basic building blocks of program flow (Grundstrukturen von Programmabläufen). Which set names the three classical control structures of structured programming?
A.Sequence (Sequenz), selection (Selektion), and iteration (Iteration)
B.Sequence (Sequenz), recursion (Rekursion), and inheritance (Vererbung)
C.Selection (Selektion), encapsulation (Kapselung), and polymorphism (Polymorphie)
D.Iteration (Iteration), aggregation (Aggregation), and instantiation (Instanziierung)
Explanation: Structured programming is built from exactly three control structures: sequence (statements executed one after another), selection (a condition chooses between alternative branches), and iteration (a block is repeated). The Fachlehrplan adds the Funktionsblock as a fourth structuring element for modularisation, but the three flow-control primitives are sequence, selection and iteration.
2What structural property distinguishes a Struktogramm (Nassi-Shneiderman diagram) from a Programmablaufplan (flowchart)?
A.A Struktogramm is built from nested rectangular blocks with no connecting arrows, so unstructured jumps cannot be drawn
B.A Struktogramm may only represent sequences, while loops must always be drawn as a Programmablaufplan
C.A Struktogramm shows the runtime memory layout of variables, while a Programmablaufplan shows control flow
D.A Struktogramm is written in a specific programming language, while a Programmablaufplan is language-independent
Explanation: A Struktogramm partitions one outer rectangle into nested sub-rectangles. Because control flow is expressed purely by nesting rather than by arrows, an arbitrary GOTO-style jump has no notation — the diagram enforces structured programming. A Programmablaufplan uses shapes joined by directed arrows, which can express unstructured jumps.
3Trace the algorithm and give the printed value: s ← 0 FOR i ← 1 TO 5 DO IF i MOD 2 = 1 THEN s ← s + i END IF END FOR OUTPUT s
A.9
B.15
C.6
D.25
Explanation: i MOD 2 = 1 is true exactly for the odd values 1, 3 and 5. The accumulator therefore receives 1 + 3 + 5 = 9. The even values 2 and 4 fail the condition and are skipped.
4Bubble sort ascending compares each adjacent pair from left to right and swaps if the left element is larger. What is the array after exactly ONE complete pass over [5, 1, 4, 2, 8]?
A.[1, 4, 2, 5, 8]
B.[1, 2, 4, 5, 8]
C.[1, 5, 4, 2, 8]
D.[5, 1, 4, 2, 8]
Explanation: Pass 1: (5,1) swap → [1,5,4,2,8]; (5,4) swap → [1,4,5,2,8]; (5,2) swap → [1,4,2,5,8]; (5,8) no swap. Result [1, 4, 2, 5, 8]. One pass guarantees only that the largest element has bubbled to the last position.
5How many key comparisons does linear (sequential) search need in the worst case on an unsorted array with n elements?
A.n
B.n / 2
C.log₂(n)
D.n²
Explanation: In the worst case the sought key is in the last position or absent entirely, so every one of the n elements must be compared: n comparisons.
6A sorted array holds 100 elements. What is the maximum number of key comparisons binary search needs to decide whether a given key is present?
A.7
B.10
C.50
D.100
Explanation: Each comparison halves the remaining search interval: 100 → 50 → 25 → 12 → 6 → 3 → 1 → 0. That is 7 halvings, matching ⌊log₂(100)⌋ + 1 = 6 + 1 = 7 comparisons in the worst case.
7In a C/Java-style language a two-dimensional array is declared as int m[4][6]. How many int elements does it hold?
A.24
B.10
C.35
D.20
Explanation: In C/Java-style declarations the numbers are element counts, so the array has 4 rows of 6 columns: 4 × 6 = 24 elements, with valid indices m[0][0] to m[3][5].
8Trace the nested loop and state the final value of count: count ← 0 FOR i ← 1 TO 4 DO FOR j ← i TO 4 DO count ← count + 1 END FOR END FOR
A.10
B.16
C.6
D.12
Explanation: The inner loop starts at j = i, so it runs 4 times for i = 1, 3 times for i = 2, 2 times for i = 3 and 1 time for i = 4. Total = 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 10.
9A program must repeatedly insert new elements at the FRONT of a collection of n elements. Which comparison of an array with a singly linked list is technically correct?
A.The linked list needs only a constant number of pointer assignments, while the array must shift all n existing elements one position to the right
B.Both structures need to shift all n elements, so insertion cost is identical
C.The array is faster because contiguous memory allows insertion without moving elements
D.The linked list is slower because every insertion requires re-sorting the whole list
Explanation: A singly linked list inserts at the front by creating a node, pointing its next reference at the old head and updating the head reference — a constant amount of work independent of n. An array stores elements contiguously, so making room at index 0 forces every existing element to move up one slot: n move operations.
10Which statement describes the Wasserfallmodell (waterfall model) of software development named in the Fachlehrplan?
A.Phases such as analysis, design, implementation and test run strictly one after another, each being completed and documented before the next begins
B.A rough version of the product is built immediately and then repeatedly refined together with the customer
C.Development and operation merge into a continuous loop with automated deployment several times a day
D.Each phase is executed by an independent team in parallel and the results are merged at the end
Explanation: The waterfall model is the classical sequential model: each phase produces a completed, documented result that is the input to the next phase, and the flow is meant to run only downwards. Its strength is planning and documentation discipline; its weakness is that late requirement changes are expensive.

About the Sachsen-Anhalt Abitur Information Technology Exam

Sachsen-Anhalt Abitur Informationstechnik is the written examination in the profile subject of the berufliches Gymnasium in the Fachrichtung Technik, alongside Ingenieurswissenschaften. Its content is defined by the Fachlehrplan Informationstechnik Berufliches Gymnasium (Stand 01.08.2023), which develops informationstechnische Handlungskompetenz across analysis, development/design and evaluation. The Qualifikationsphase covers structured modelling with algorithms and data structures, object-oriented modelling with UML, data transmission in networks including addressing and data security, and the design, normalisation and querying of relational databases. This free 100-question MCQ bank — written in English and including genuine traced algorithms, subnetting calculations, normalisation cases and UML readings — trains the underlying content before pupils practise the official structured German-language Klausur.

Exam sponsor: Ministerium für Bildung des Landes Sachsen-Anhalt (MB), supported by the Landesinstitut für Schulqualität und Lehrerbildung (LISA) and the Landesschulamt. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

Official central written Abitur examination in the Profilfach Informationstechnik of the berufliches Gymnasium, Fachrichtung Technik. The paper draws on the Fachlehrplan Informationstechnik Berufliches Gymnasium (Stand 01.08.2023), whose Qualifikationsphase is organised into four competency areas: informationstechnische Systeme strukturiert modellieren, informationstechnische Systeme objektorientiert modellieren, Datenübertragung in Netzwerken realisieren, and Datenbanken erstellen und nutzen. Tasks require analysis, development and evaluation — for example designing and tracing algorithms, implementing and testing classes, planning IPv4 addressing, and normalising and querying a relational database, always with written justification. This 100-question bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation only and does not simulate the real German free-response format.

Sachsen-Anhalt Abitur Information Technology: Suggested Study Strategy

1Work all four Qualifikationsphase competency areas in rotation — the written paper can draw on structured modelling, object orientation, networks and databases in the same session.
2Trace algorithms with a written trace table instead of reading them: one column per variable, one row per iteration, and check the loop start index and whether comparisons are strict.
3Practise subnetting until the block-size method is automatic: block size = 256 minus the interesting mask octet, then locate the host address between two subnet boundaries.
4Normalise a messy table from 1NF to 3NF at least once a week and always state the violated rule (non-atomic value, partial dependency, transitive dependency) before you split anything.
5Draw and read UML class, object and sequence diagrams by hand; exam tasks routinely supply one representation and require conversion into another or into program text.
6Programme in a real text-based environment and test with your own boundary values — the Fachlehrplan explicitly assesses testing, error robustness and maintainability, not just working code.
7After MCQ concept work, solve full multi-part Klausur-style tasks in German with written justification, because the official exam awards marks for documented reasoning.
