On April 29, 2025, the examination phase begins for the high school graduates in the Coesfeld district, which is the basis for the further educational path of many students. However, the anticipation for the upcoming exams is overshadowed by criticism of the temporal arrangement of the exams and the duration of the exams.

criticisms are above all the narrow time windows in which some popular subject combinations are checked. Here it happens that students have to take three exams within just four days. The Philologists' Association has also expressed concerns that the defined examination time of five hours is perceived for a few subjects than too long. Jan Holthusen, a representative of the Education and Science trade union, sees it differently: he considers the longer examination times to be relieving because they create enough space for the students to work well.

changes in central Abitur 2025

This year there are important innovations: high school graduates in the natural sciences have the opportunity to select tasks from several suggestions themselves. Christian Pennekamp from the Association of Education and Education has a mixed opinion. He emphasizes that there are both advantages and disadvantages of this regulation. One disadvantage could be that students may not be able to fully record the complexity of the tasks in the short time.

The written Abitur exams will last until the end of May before the oral exams take place afterwards. For many students, this period is a challenge in which, in addition to professional knowledge, strategic time management is also required.

preparation for the exams

For the effective repetition of the examination material, various resources are available to high school graduates. There are free sample tasks and previous exams on various platforms, such as the educational server, which can be used for training. These materials are particularly helpful for the preparation for high school exams and can help the students to consolidate their knowledge and feel safe.

  • Access to extensive learning and exercise materials
  • uniform examination requirements (EPA) are available online
  • IQB - collection of tasks for subjects such as German, English, French, mathematics and natural sciences

Some federal states also offer not to provide original Abitur examination tasks, but provide old sample tasks. Via the Portal fragdenstaat.de, high school graduates can also access an examination archive that also includes examination tasks for secondary school and secondary school degrees.

In summary, it can be said that the preparations for high school in 2025 are already in full swing. With adapted formats and the possibility of choosing tasks in the natural sciences, the students are offered a certain scope for design. At the same time, it remains to be seen how the changes and the tight examination periods are accepted by the high school graduates.
