About the Saxony-Anhalt Abitur Italian Exam
Sachsen-Anhalt Abitur Italienisch is the state Abitur examination in the Fremdsprache Italienisch, usually begun as a second or third Fremdsprache in Sek I and continued at grundlegendes or erhöhtes Anforderungsniveau through the Qualifikationsphase. Following the Fachlehrplan Italienisch Gymnasium (Stand 01.08.2022) and the Einheitliche Prüfungsanforderungen in der Abiturprüfung Italienisch (KMK-Beschluss vom 01.12.1989 i. d. F. vom 06.06.2013), it assesses funktionale kommunikative Kompetenz (Hör-/Hörsehverstehen, Leseverstehen, Schreiben, Sprechen, Sprachmittlung), interkulturelle kommunikative Kompetenz, Text- und Medienkompetenz, Sprachbewusstheit and Sprachlernkompetenz across nine prescribed Themenbereiche, targeting GER/CEFR level B2 by the end of Sekundarstufe II. This free 100-question MCQ bank trains the underlying language system and content knowledge — real Italian for congiuntivo, periodo ipotetico, forma passiva, gerundio and Sprachmittlung, plus reading and Landeskunde — as preparation before students practise full official-format tasks. It is an English-language study adaptation, not an official-format simulation.
Exam sponsor: Ministerium für Bildung des Landes Sachsen-Anhalt (MB), with LISA and the Landesschulamt. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.
Assessment
Official written Abitur examination in the Fremdsprache Italienisch under the Oberstufenverordnung Sachsen-Anhalt, taken at grundlegendes (gA) or erhöhtes Anforderungsniveau (eA), and set jointly with Spanisch under the same 'Hinweise zu den schriftlichen Abiturprüfungen'. Prüfungsteil 1, Schreiben mit integriertem Leseverstehen, offers two Wahlthemen (one literary, one non-literary text; continuous or non-continuous), of which candidates choose and confirm one by signature. Prüfungsteil 2, Sprachmittlung in die Fremdsprache, is compulsory and based on one or more German-language texts that must be rendered into Italian for a stated purpose and addressee. Since the 2025 exam year, four Themenfelder per language underpin the literary/non-literary tasks in Prüfungsteil 1; a separate Hörverstehen Prüfungsteil is being introduced only from 2027 onward. This 100-question bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation with genuine Italian as the tested content — it does not simulate the official free-response writing task or the German-to-Italian Sprachmittlung task, and it is not an official translation of any exam material.
Time Limit
Written main date: Thursday 16 April 2026, together with Spanisch, Russisch, Latein and Griechisch. Prüfungsteil 1 (Schreiben mit integriertem Leseverstehen, including Auswahlzeit) takes 195 minutes at gA or 225 minutes at eA; Prüfungsteil 2 (Sprachmittlung) takes 60 minutes at both levels; Gesamtarbeitszeit is 255 minutes (gA) or 285 minutes (eA). Permitted Hilfsmittel are a bilingual and a monolingual Italian dictionary plus a German spelling dictionary. Mündliche Prüfungen begin on 11 May 2026; Zeugnisse are issued by 3 July 2026. Oral exams allow 20 minutes Vorbereitungszeit (§31 Abs. 2 Oberstufenverordnung).
Passing Score
Subject performance is reported on the 0–15 Punkte scale. The Gesamtqualifikation requires at least 200 of a possible 600 points in Block I (§38 Oberstufenverordnung) and at least 100 of a possible 300 points in Block II, formed from the five Prüfungsfächer at 4x weighting (§39), giving a maximum of 900 points. Block II also requires at least 4 points per element, at least 20 points (4x weighted) in at least three Prüfungsfächer including at least one eA-Fach, and no Prüfungsfach graded 0. The KMK table converts the total into the Durchschnittsnote, with about 300 of 900 points corresponding to the minimum 4.0. Within Prüfungsteil 1 and Prüfungsteil 2, unrounded Teilnoten are combined according to the Prüfungsteile's weighting to form the Prüfungsnote.
Exam / Certification Fees
No exam fee for regular enrolled school candidates; the Abitur is a state school examination administered by the Ministerium für Bildung des Landes Sachsen-Anhalt. Arrangements for external candidates are handled by the Landesschulamt and are not a published Italienisch subject fee.

Saxony-Anhalt Abitur Italian: Suggested Study Strategy
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the official Sachsen-Anhalt Abitur Italienisch exam multiple-choice?
No. The official written paper has two parts: Schreiben mit integriertem Leseverstehen, an extended written response to one of two chosen Wahlthemen, and the compulsory Sprachmittlung, which mediates German-language source material into Italian. This bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation that keeps genuine Italian as the tested content — it is not an official-format simulation and not an official translation of exam material.
When is the written Italienisch exam in 2026?
Thursday 16 April 2026, the same date as Spanisch, Russisch, Latein and Griechisch. 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.

Does the exam include a listening test?
Not yet for the 2026 session. A separate Hörverstehen Prüfungsteil is being introduced in the modern foreign languages in Sachsen-Anhalt only from the 2027 exam year onward; the 2026 written paper consists of Schreiben mit integriertem Leseverstehen and Sprachmittlung only.

For the 2026 written exam, the Ministerium designated four of these as the Themenfelder underlying Prüfungsteil 1: Il mondo è in pericolo?, Le sfide dei giovani, L'uomo nella società and Il mondo del lavoro. At least one Ganzschrift and one film must also be studied.
