Supplementary Documents

The educational standards for the General Higher Education Entrance Qualification serve as the basis for developing pool tasks in each subject. In addition, the federal states have agreed on subject-specific arrangements that further specify these standards (the so-called “Begleitende Dokumente”, or supplementary documents).

Alongside the educational standards, the following documents form the basis for the pool of examination tasks for Abitur exams in English and French (continued from lower secondary level):

With the 'Guidelines for the use of permitted aids’, the federal states have agreed on common regulations regarding the functionality of permitted digital aids. These regulations refer to modular mathematical systems (MMS) and simple scientific calculators (WTR). In accordance with the guidelines valid from 2030, the federal states assess, upon the manufacturers’ request, whether an MMS or a WTR meets the federal states’ shared requirements. The KMK secretariat conducts the certification. As soon as an aid has been certified, it will be listed on the KMK secretariat’s website.

In addition to permitted digital aids, a mathematics and science formula booklet can also serve as a resource for working on pool tasks in Mathematics, Chemistry, and Physics. This formula booklet may only contain the contents of the following document. During class, other formula booklets may still be used.

Usage rights have been granted to publishers for the printing of the mathematics and science formula booklet. The following document contains information on the commercially available editions.
