About the Saxony-Anhalt Abitur Russian Exam
Sachsen-Anhalt Abitur Russisch is the state Abitur examination in the Fremdsprache Russisch, taken as a fortgeführte or neu einsetzende Fremdsprache at grundlegendes or erhöhtes Anforderungsniveau. Following the Fachlehrplan Russisch Gymnasium (LISA, 01.08.2022), it assesses funktionale kommunikative Kompetenz (Hörverstehen/Hörsehverstehen, Leseverstehen, Schreiben, Sprechen, Sprachmittlung), interkulturelle kommunikative Kompetenz, Text- und Medienkompetenz, Sprachbewusstheit and Sprachlernkompetenz across eight prescribed Themenbereiche. This free 100-question MCQ bank trains the underlying language system and content knowledge — real Cyrillic Russian for cases, aspect, participles, syntax and vocabulary, plus reading, mediation 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.

This 100-question bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation with genuine Russian in Cyrillic as the tested content — it does not simulate the official free-response paper and is not an official translation of any exam material.
Time Limit
Written main date: Thursday 16 April 2026, together with Spanisch, Italienisch, Latein and Griechisch. Per RdErl.

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.
