Sample Sachsen-Anhalt Realschulabschluss German Practice Questions

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

1In the Sachsen-Anhalt Realschulabschluss Deutsch exam, what is the fundamental difference between a Sachtext and a literarischer Text?

A.A Sachtext primarily informs, explains, or argues about real-world matters, while a literarischer Text is a fictional, aesthetically shaped work

B.A Sachtext is always written in verse, while a literarischer Text is always prose

C.A Sachtext may never express an opinion, while a literarischer Text always does

D.A Sachtext can only be a table or chart, never continuous prose

Explanation: Sachtexte (e.g. newspaper articles, reports) primarily convey information, explain a topic, or argue a position about real events. Literarische Texte (Lyrik, Epik, Dramatik) are fictional, artistically shaped texts. The Fachlehrplan Deutsch Sekundarschule keeps these two competence strands - Sachtexte verstehen and literarische Texte verstehen - separate within the Kompetenzbereich Lesen.

2What is a diskontinuierlicher Text, as distinguished from a kontinuierlicher Text in Leseverstehen tasks?

A.A non-linear or non-prose element such as a table, diagram, or chart, often placed alongside a continuous text

B.A text that is missing its ending

C.A text written entirely in dialect

D.A text that changes narrator halfway through

Explanation: Der Fachlehrplan unterscheidet kontinuierliche und diskontinuierliche Textstrukturen: continuous texts run as ordinary flowing prose, while discontinuous texts present information in tables, diagrams, graphs, or similar non-linear formats. Both can appear as reading material, sometimes combined.

3A Teil-A task asks you to nennen (name/state) three details a character gives for leaving home. Which reading skill does this test?

A.Auffinden von Informationen - locating and stating explicit details directly from the text

B.Interpretation - constructing a deeper symbolic meaning

C.Erörterung - weighing arguments for and against a position

D.Charakterisieren - building a full personality profile with evidence

Explanation: Nennen is a low-inference Operator: it asks for information stated directly in the text, in short form. This matches the Teil-A skill Auffinden von Informationen, which is one of the basic Textverständnis tasks in the Fachlehrplan.

4What does Inhaltssicherung mean as a Teil-A task type in the Realschulabschluss Deutsch exam?

A.Confirming and organising the essential content of a text, e.g. by ordering events or summarising main points

B.Memorising a poem word for word before the exam

C.Correcting spelling mistakes in the printed Aufgabenblatt

D.Choosing which of the two Aufgabensätze to answer

Explanation: Inhaltssicherung is one of the listed Teil-A content areas under Textverständnis: it covers tasks like ordering textual information, summarising, or comparing content so that a candidate demonstrates a secure grasp of what the text says.

5The Fachlehrplan groups Sachtexte in Schuljahrgänge 9/10 especially by which three knowledge areas?

A.Kulturwissen, Naturwissen, and Sozialwissen

B.Mathematik, Chemie, and Physik

C.Vergangenheit, Gegenwart, and Zukunft

D.Prosa, Lyrik, and Dramatik

Explanation: Grundlegende Wissensbestände for Sachtexte in Schuljahrgänge 9/10 specify kontinuierliche und diskontinuierliche Sachtexte zu Kulturwissen, Naturwissen und Sozialwissen - i.e. texts drawing on cultural, natural-science, and social knowledge domains.

6You need to quickly find one specific fact in a long Sachtext. Which Lesetechnik should you use first?

A.Suchendes bzw. scannendes Lesen - zielgerichtet auswählendes Lesen for a specific detail

B.Reflektierendes Lesen - slow, intensive reading aimed at fixing results

C.Korrekturlesen - proofreading for spelling errors

D.Auswendiglernen - memorising the whole text

Explanation: The Fachlehrplan lists suchendes oder scannendes Lesen (zielgerichtet auswählendes Lesen) as the technique for quickly locating specific information, as opposed to slower reflektierendes Lesen used for deep understanding.

7In a newspaper Kommentar about a proposed school reform, which sentence is a Wertung rather than Information?

A.„Diese Reform ist ein grober Fehler.“ (This reform is a serious mistake.)

B.„Die Reform tritt zum 1. August in Kraft.“ (The reform takes effect on 1 August.)

C.„Der Landtag hat der Reform mit 54 Stimmen zugestimmt.“ (The state parliament approved the reform with 54 votes.)

D.„Die Reform betrifft alle Schulen ab Klasse 7.“ (The reform affects all schools from grade 7 upward.)

Explanation: Wertung means an evaluative, opinion-based judgement, while Information is a verifiable, factual statement. Calling the reform ein grober Fehler expresses the writer's judgement, while the other sentences state checkable facts (a date, a vote count, a scope).

8What is the purpose of a Fußnote (footnote) as an element of Rezeptionssteuerung in a Sachtext?

A.To explain a difficult word or reference so the reader can follow the main text more easily

B.To replace the need for a Schlussteil in the text

C.To signal that the whole text is fictional

D.To mark the correct answer for a Teil-A task

Explanation: Fußnoten and similar devices (e.g. Hyperlinks in digital texts) are Elemente der Rezeptionssteuerung: they guide the reader by clarifying unfamiliar terms or references without interrupting the main flow of the text.

9In a Kurzgeschichte, an Ich-Erzähler is best described as a narrator who...

A.tells the story from within, using ich, and is limited to their own knowledge and perceptions

B.knows the thoughts of every character and can move freely through time and place

C.never appears as a character and speaks only through stage directions

D.is always the author writing autobiographically

Explanation: An Ich-Erzähler narrates as a participant using the first person and is restricted to what that figure can plausibly know, see, or feel - unlike an auktorialer Erzähler, who has broader, even all-knowing access.

10What is the difference between Figurenrede and Autorrede (also called Erzählerrede) in an epic text?

A.Figurenrede is what a character says or thinks; Autorrede/Erzählerrede is the narrator's own commentary or narration

B.Figurenrede only occurs in Dramatik, never in prose

C.Autorrede means the real author is speaking directly to the reader in every case

D.There is no meaningful difference; the terms are interchangeable

Explanation: Figurenrede refers to a character's spoken or reported words/thoughts, while Autorrede (Erzählerrede) is the narrating voice's own description or commentary. Distinguishing them helps identify whose viewpoint a passage represents.

About the Sachsen-Anhalt Realschulabschluss German Exam

Sachsen-Anhalt Realschulabschluss Deutsch is the compulsory German examination for the Mittlerer Schulabschluss (Realschulabschluss), sat at the end of Schuljahrgang 10 at a Sekundarschule, Integrierte Gesamtschule, or the Sekundarschulzweig of a Kooperative Gesamtschule under the Verordnung über die Abschlüsse in der Sekundarstufe I (Abschluss-VO Sek I). Its content follows the Fachlehrplan Sekundarschule Deutsch for the Realschulabschlussbezogener Unterricht (Schuljahrgänge 9/10) - a meaningfully less advanced level than the gymnasiale-Oberstufe Abitur Deutsch exam in this same Land. The official paper gives candidates a choice between two Aufgabensätze (one literary, one Sachtext-based), and combines a Teil A of mostly short-answer Textuntersuchung tasks with a Teil B extended Textproduktion task, within a 30-minute Einlesezeit plus a 210-minute Arbeitszeit, with a Rechtschreibwörterbuch as the only permitted aid. This free bank of 100 original multiple-choice questions is an English-language study adaptation covering Leseverstehen of Sach- and literarische Texte, Sprache und Sprachgebrauch (grammar, Rechtschreibung, Zeichensetzung, Stilmittel), Textproduktion/Aufsatzformen (Erörterung, Charakteristik, formal writing), introductory Literaturgeschichte and Gattungen, and exam-format literacy - built to help Klasse-10 candidates check and reinforce that content. It is not a simulation of the official constructed-response exam.

Exam sponsor: Ministerium für Bildung des Landes Sachsen-Anhalt (MB), with school-level Prüfungskommissionen and Fachprüfungsausschüsse overseen by the Landesschulamt; central task-setting support from LISA (Landesinstitut für Schulqualität und Lehrerbildung). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

Official written Sachsen-Anhalt Realschulabschluss examination in Deutsch, set centrally by the Ministerium für Bildung (Section 15 Abs. 1 Abschluss-VO Sek I) under the Fachlehrplan Sekundarschule Deutsch (Realschulabschlussbezogener Unterricht). Candidates receive both Aufgabensatz 1, built on a literary text (in 2025/26: Dramatik or Lyrik), and Aufgabensatz 2, built on a Sachtext, and choose one to complete during a 30-minute Einlesezeit (work may already begin). Teil A (Pflichtaufgaben) tests Textuntersuchung - Lesen/mit Texten umgehen and Sprache und Sprachgebrauch untersuchen - predominantly through halboffene and offene short-answer, completion and matching tasks, with closed (multiple-choice-style) formats making up only the smallest share; up to five Bewertungseinheiten are reserved for correct Sprachverwendung. Teil B (Wahlaufgaben) requires an adressatengerechte Textproduktion chosen from two options (one gestaltend, one sach-/problemorientiert), built on either a Sachtext (Aufgabensatz 1) or a literary text (Aufgabensatz 2, 2025/26: dramatic or lyric). Total Arbeitszeit is 210 minutes after the Einlesezeit; a Rechtschreibwörterbuch is the only permitted Hilfsmittel. This 100-question bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation only - it does not reproduce the official constructed-response format.

Time Limit

Written: 30-minute Einlesezeit plus a 210-minute Arbeitszeit (Section 15 Abs. 2 Abschluss-VO Sek I; the Einlesezeit is an additional phase per the annual LISA Hinweise, not counted within the 210 minutes). In the 2026 main session the written Deutsch exam was set for Monday 13 April 2026; mündliche Prüfungen ran from 8 June to 3 July 2026, with Zeugnisse issued by 3 July 2026.

Passing Score

Results are reported as whole Schulnoten (1 sehr gut down to 6 ungenügend) - not the 0-15-Punkte scale used for the Sachsen-Anhalt Abitur. The Gesamtnote in Deutsch is normally the average of the Jahresnote and the written Prüfungsnote (Section 21 Abs. 2 Abschluss-VO Sek I). The Realschulabschluss itself is awarded on participation in the Abschlussprüfung combined with being versetzungsfähig under the Versetzungsverordnung (Section 5 Abschluss-VO Sek I) - there is no single published raw-percent pass mark for Deutsch alone. A student who additionally reaches a Notendurchschnitt of at least 2.3 in the Kernfächer (Deutsch, Mathematik, first foreign language) and at least 2.7 in other subjects, each with no more than two mangelhafte Leistungen, is awarded the erweiterter Realschulabschluss, which qualifies for the gymnasiale Oberstufe (Section 6 Abschluss-VO Sek I).

Sachsen-Anhalt Realschulabschluss German: Suggested Study Strategy

1Practise both Aufgabensatz types - literary (Dramatik/Lyrik) and Sachtext - since you only find out which one suits you better once you skim both during the 30-minute Einlesezeit.

2Drill the Operatoren from the LISA Operatorenliste (nennen, beschreiben, charakterisieren, erörtern, interpretieren) - each demands a structurally different answer, and mismatching one costs marks.

3Train with only a Rechtschreibwörterbuch open; do not practise with annotated materials that would not be allowed on exam day.

4For Teil B, always identify the kommunikative Situation (Adressat and Zweck) before drafting, and plan a Stoffsammlung first - unplanned Textproduktion often misses a required Aspekt.

5Structure every Erörterung as Einleitung - Hauptteil (Pro/Kontra, weighed) - Schluss (begründetes Fazit); an Erörterung without a final Positionierung is incomplete.

6Know the Gattung, Textsorte and era of each canonical Schuljahrgang-9/10 Lektüreverzeichnis work (e.g. Lessing/Aufklärung, Borchert/Trümmerliteratur) - Teil-A tasks may assume this background.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the official Sachsen-Anhalt Realschulabschluss Deutsch exam multiple-choice?

No. The official written paper is a constructed-response Klausur: Teil A uses mostly halboffene and offene short-answer, completion and matching tasks (closed multiple-choice-style items are only a minor share), and Teil B requires an extended, freely written Textproduktion such as an Erörterung or Charakteristik. This bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation for learning and checking the underlying content, not a simulation of the official format.

What are Teil A and Teil B, and what is an Aufgabensatz?

Teil A is the mandatory text-analysis part (Textuntersuchung); Teil B is the choice-based writing part (Textproduktion). Candidates also choose between two full Aufgabensätze during a 30-minute Einlesezeit: Aufgabensatz 1 is built on a literary text (in 2025/26: Dramatik or Lyrik), and Aufgabensatz 2 is built on a Sachtext.

How long is the written exam and what aids are allowed?

The official Arbeitszeit is 210 minutes (Section 15 Abs. 2 Abschluss-VO Sek I), preceded by an additional 30-minute Einlesezeit - the longest of the three compulsory written papers (Englisch: 150 minutes, Mathematik: 180 minutes). A Rechtschreibwörterbuch (spelling dictionary) is the only permitted Hilfsmittel.

What grading scale is used?

Sachsen-Anhalt Realschulabschluss results use the ordinary German 1-6 Schulnoten scale (1 sehr gut to 6 ungenügend), not the Abitur's 0-15-Punkte scale. The Gesamtnote in Deutsch is generally the average of the Jahresnote and the written Prüfungsnote (Section 21 Abschluss-VO Sek I).

When was the exam held in 2026?

In the 2026 main session the written Deutsch exam was set for Monday 13 April 2026 (Englisch: 15 April, Mathematik: 17 April). Mündliche Prüfungen ran from 8 June to 3 July 2026, with roughly 9,200 candidates sitting the Mittlerer Schulabschluss across eligible school types that year.

Is there an exam fee?

No. The Realschulabschluss is a state school examination in Sachsen-Anhalt, and regular enrolled Sekundarschule/Gesamtschule candidates pay no separate fee for the Deutsch paper.

How does this differ from the Sachsen-Anhalt Abitur Deutsch exam in this same batch?

Realschulabschluss Deutsch is a lower, Sekundarstufe-I qualification level sat by Klasse-10 Sekundarschule/Gemeinschaftsschule/Gesamtschule candidates, not gymnasiale-Oberstufe Abitur candidates. It uses the ordinary 1-6 Notenskala rather than the Abitur's 0-15-Punkte scale, follows a different Fachlehrplan, and its Textproduktion and Literaturgeschichte content is introductory rather than Oberstufe-depth.
