Exam preparation for secondary school

Exam free to middle school

With the revision of the transfer process, secondary students have a new opportunity to continue their postsecondary education at a middle school:

• Newly, students in the graduating class of secondary school with a grade point average of 5.3 gives the opportunity to enter computer science, business, and technical secondary school and vocational school with vocational baccalaureate without having to take any exams. A corresponding grade point average in the interim report entitles the student to provisional transfer; definitive transfer takes place via the annual report at the end of the school year. Admission to vocational schools with vocational baccalaureate is definitive in both cases (achievement of the grade point average in the interim report or in the annual report). 
• For transfer without an examination, secondary school students must have at least a grade of 4.0 in the subjects Mathematics and German in the report relevant to the transfer have. Furthermore, these two subjects count double for the calculation of the transfer-relevant grade point average. 
• The following subjects are considered for an exam-free transfer from secondary school to a middle school: Mathematics, German, French, English, History, Geography, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Visual Arts/Music/Movement and Physical Education. In the subject group visual arts/music/movement and sports, the two subjects in which the better grades have been achieved count as one each.
