Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

No. The official written paper is a constructed-response Klausur: candidates carry out and write down full solution paths (Lösungswege) for algebra, function, geometry and Stochastik problems - not a selection of pre-made answers. This bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation for learning and checking the underlying content, not a simulation of the official format.

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

The official Prüfungszeit is 180 minutes (Section 15 Abs. 2 Abschluss-VO Sek I), between Englisch (150 minutes) and Deutsch (210 minutes). Consistent with the standard Realschulabschluss Mathematik format, the paper opens with a hilfsmittelfrei section (no calculator, no Formelsammlung) testing basic skills, then continues with a section where a calculator and the official Formelsammlung may be used for more complex problems; the exact minute split between the two sections is not published by the Verordnung.

Question 3

What topics does the exam cover?

Accepted Answer

The Fachlehrplan Sekundarschule Mathematik organises the Realschulabschlussbezogener Unterricht (Schuljahrgänge 7/8 and 9/10) into four Inhaltsbereiche: Zahlen und Größen (arithmetic, algebra, percent/interest), Raum und Form (geometry, including the Satz des Pythagoras, similarity, and trigonometry), Zuordnungen und Funktionen (linear and quadratic functions, linear systems), and Daten und Zufall (probability and statistics). There is no calculus, unlike the Sachsen-Anhalt Abitur Mathematik exam.

Question 4

Is there an oral Mathematics exam too?

Accepted Answer

Not automatically. Every candidate sits one written exam each in Deutsch, Mathematik and Englisch, plus two chosen oral exams (one science subject and one further compulsory subject other than Sport). Mathematik becomes an oral exam only if a student requests it as one of up to two additional voluntary oral exams (Section 11 Abschluss-VO Sek I).

Question 5

What grading scale is used?

Accepted Answer

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 Mathematik is generally the average of the Jahresnote and the written Prüfungsnote (Section 21 Abschluss-VO Sek I). Mathematik is also one of the Kernfächer counted toward the stricter Notendurchschnitt-2.3 threshold for the erweiterter Realschulabschluss (Section 6), which grants access to the gymnasiale Oberstufe.

Question 6

When was the exam held in 2026?

Accepted Answer

In the 2026 main session the written Mathematik exam was set for Friday 17 April 2026 (Deutsch: 13 April, Englisch: 15 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.

Question 7

Is there an exam fee?

Accepted Answer

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