Abitur in Hessen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hessian Abitur is awarded at the end of the qualification phase (grades 11 and 12 for G8 and 12 and 13 for G9) and a passed Abitur examination in five subjects .

The upper level ordinances

For the Abitur 2012 (G8 and G9), the regulations of the OAVO (Upper School and Abitur Ordinance of July 20, 2009) applied for the first time. In the course of the G8 changeover, this replaced the VOGO / BG upper level ordinance (ordinance on educational programs and the Abitur examination in the upper level and vocational high school).

The qualification phase

The qualification phase in Hesse includes the 12th and 13th grade for G9 and the 11th and 12th grade for G8. In order to avoid confusion between G9 and G8 , the terms Q1 to Q4 for the respective semesters appear on the certificates that are generated by the teacher and student database (LUSD). Your result is included in the final Abitur grade with the examinations of the Abitur phase.

Occupancy requirement

German and mathematics both have to be taken up to the Abitur and are also examination subjects. Both subjects are taught in the respective basic courses with four hours and in the advanced courses with five hours per week. A foreign language (mostly French , Latin or English ) that has already been taught in the middle school, a natural science ( physics , chemistry or biology ), history , ethics / religion / philosophy and sport up to the Abitur has to be taken. Two semesters of politics and economics or economics, as well as art or music or performing games must also be completed. There is also a regulation that another natural science or foreign language or computer science has to be taken in the first half of the year and the second in Q2.

In the vocational grammar school , the second major must either be economics (especially business administration) or technical science (mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, civil engineering, physics, chemistry, biology and data processing technology, focus related or cross-focus) or nutrition , health sciences or agricultural engineering . The second major is supplemented by a basic course (e.g. in mechanical engineering with materials science) in one half of the qualification phase. In addition, a specialist basic course (e.g. technology, accounting) must be taken. The first major is either German, English, mathematics or a natural science. Politics and business must be attended at least in Q1 and Q2 and a half-year course must be included. English can also take the place of an examination in the basic mathematics course. A natural science must be taken and introduced in Q1 to Q4 as a basic or advanced course. Art or performing games can also be taken with a substitute subject (e.g. politics & economics). A second foreign language is only required in the introductory and qualification phase if you have not taken one from the 6th or 7th grade onwards.

Advanced courses

At least two advanced courses are chosen. At least one advanced course must be either a continued foreign language, a natural science or mathematics. Each advanced course is taught five hours per week and is examined in writing as an examination subject in the Abitur. It is important here that in the upper school level, every subject except performing games and the third foreign language (e.g. Japanese ) can be advanced courses . However, it varies from school to school. So it is possible that individual subjects as advanced courses are canceled due to minimal attendance. If more than two advanced courses are chosen, which is possible in special cases, then only two are also counted as advanced courses.

Basic courses

In order to register for the Abitur, 24 semesters of the basic course must be submitted in the four semesters . With an optimal occupancy, there are often very good chances for a good Abitur grade. In addition, you can also voluntarily attend courses that go beyond the mandatory occupancy. This increases the number of possible combinations for the Abitur grade.

Performance evaluation

In the upper secondary level, the grading system of lower secondary level is replaced by a point system. The point system comprises 0 to 15 points. 15 points correspond to the grade 1+ and 0 points to a 6. With less than 5 points, a course is considered to be under- attended, with 0 points as not taken (obligation to provide evidence not met).

1 = Contrary to the official definition of the grade “poorly sufficient”, a course with this grade is not considered passed; the services do not meet the requirements.


Abitur exams

Abitur exams take place in five subjects. Two task areas must be covered in writing. German is always part of the exam. Mathematics must also be tested in the upper secondary school. In the vocational high school, you can choose between mathematics and English, provided that these are not major subjects. In addition, Hessen also introduced the central high school diploma for the 2006/2007 school year , which should enable schools to be compared and give every student an equally good chance of graduation.

Written exams

Each student writes exams in his two advanced courses and one additional basic course subject, whereby at least two subject areas must be covered. These exams have been the same since 2006/2007 (central high school diploma) and are taken centrally from Wiesbaden . However, the examinations are assessed in a decentralized manner by teachers using an assessment sheet from the Ministry of Culture.

Oral exams

In addition to the written exams, an oral exam is compulsory in a fourth subject. In the last and fifth subject, the student can choose between a second oral exam, a presentation and a special learning achievement , whereby the special learning achievement can also be achieved in one of the first 4 examination subjects, so that for example a student with the major history a written examination and can develop a special learning achievement with the reference subject history.

In contrast to the written examinations, these exams are not set nationwide, but by the teaching teacher and examined in a decentralized manner.

The Abitur grade is divided into three areas. The basic course area, the advanced course area and the high school graduation area. In general and regardless of the choice of advanced course, the subjects German, mathematics, a continued foreign language and a natural science each have to give four half-year grades. Two half-year grades from the subjects Politics & Economics or Economics, History as well as Art, Music or Performing Games must be included. The two grades from the subject of history must come from the first six months of Q3 and Q4. In addition, two further half-year grades from the social science field (geography, history, politics & economics, economics, religion, ethics and philosophy) and two half-year grades from another natural science or another foreign language or from the subject of computer science must be submitted. The choice of the other subjects is free, but a maximum of three semesters from the subject of sport may be brought in.

In the advanced course area, the advanced course grades from the first half of the year Q1 to Q4 are weighted twice. Since there are two advanced courses per semester, there are a total of 8, which are then weighted twice. A maximum of 240 (8 · 2 · 15) points and a minimum of 80 (8 · 2 · 5) points can be achieved in the advanced course area. Five courses with 5 or more points must be taken. No advanced course may be completed with 0 points.

The basic course area consists of 24 simply rated grades. In the basic course area, a maximum number of points of 360 (24 · 15) points is possible and a minimum number of 120 (24 · 5) points is required. A maximum of 6 of these 24 grades may be below 5 points, none of them may be 0 points.

The Abitur area consists of the Abitur exams with fourfold weighting. None of the exams may be completed with 0 points. At least 5 points must be achieved in three examinations, including a performance course examination. A maximum of 300 (5 · 4 · 15) points can be achieved in the Abitur area and at least 100 (5 · 4 · 5) points must be achieved.

The Abitur is considered passed when the Abitur graduate has achieved at least 300 points. This corresponds to the Abitur grade 4.0. A maximum of 900 points can be achieved, from 823 points the Abitur grade 1.0 is awarded.

The average grade is calculated according to this formula, whereby only the first digit after the comma is taken into account. It is not rounded. A mathematical grade of less than 1.0 (e.g. 0.66 for 900 points) is changed to a grade of 1.0.
