Bremen Abitur German study plan
Bremen Abitur German · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 6 hours per week
Deutsch (German) & Mathematik (Mathematics)
Inventory the four Abitur task formats (Textanalyse, Erörterung, materialgestütztes Schreiben, Sprachbetrachtung) and write a one-page profile of each with its typical operator verbs
Solve 10 pure calculus tasks (Ableitung, Extremstellen, Wendepunkte) from a self-assembled set and log every error by cause
Build a personal operator-verb glossary (analysieren, erläutern, beurteilen, gestalten) with one sample sentence each
Re-derive the quotient, product and chain rules from scratch on a blank sheet without notes
Your checkpoint
A two-part error log and operator glossary: 10 calculus solutions with cause-tagged mistakes plus a glossary of at least 12 operator verbs.
Deutsch (German) & Mathematik (Mathematics)
Draft two full Textanalysen (one lyric poem, one prose excerpt) under a 90-minute timer each, using a fixed structure: Einleitung, Inhaltsangabe, Analyse, Deutung
Master the analysis toolkit for line of argument, rhetoric and syntax by annotating three non-fiction editorials in full
Work through 12 analysis tasks (Kurvendiskussion, Steckbriefaufgaben) and write clean solutions with correct notation and units
Memorise and apply the vocabulary of stylistic devices (Stilmittel) in your own annotations rather than recognizing them passively
Your checkpoint
Two timed Textanalysen with a self-marked rubric (content, structure, language) scoring each out of 15 points.
Deutsch (German) & Mathematik (Mathematics)
Write one argumentative Erörterung (both sandbox and text-based variants) with a clearly signposted thesis, counter-argument and synthesis
Practise materialgestütztes Schreiben once: select and cite from a supplied set of three short sources without plagiarism
Target the analysis area where week 2 scored lowest and redo two tasks of that type with a corrected method
Solve 8 tasks on analytical geometry (Geraden, Ebenen, Abstandsprobleme) and check each result by an independent method
Your checkpoint
One complete Erörterung (600-800 words) plus a corrected redo of your weakest analysis task type, both self-assessed.
Fremdsprache (Foreign language)
Diagnose your foreign-language baseline with one full reading and one full listening past-paper section, then rank your error types
Compile a 60-item personal vocabulary list from your own errors, each with a German equivalent and one example sentence
Write two short compositions (comment, letter to the editor) under 45-minute timers and revise them once against a checklist
Rehearse the oral component: record a two-minute monologue on a current topic and transcribe it to spot recurring grammar slips
Your checkpoint
A diagnostic report with section scores, an error-type ranking, and a 60-item vocabulary list.
Fremdsprache (Foreign language) & Gesellschaftswissenschaftliches oder naturwissenschaftliches Fach (Social or natural science subject)
Complete one full mock exam in your foreign language under real timing and mark it strictly against the official weighting
Choose and fix your fourth subject (social or natural science) and map its exam structure: task types, weighting, permitted aids
Build a one-page formula, definition or source-criticism sheet for the fourth subject
Run a 30-minute speaking practice on an exam-style prompt and note three concrete improvements
Your checkpoint
One marked foreign-language mock with a written action list, plus a one-page structure and formula sheet for the fourth subject.
Gesellschaftswissenschaftliches oder naturwissenschaftliches Fach (Social or natural science subject) & Mathematik (Mathematics)
Work through 12 exam-style tasks in the fourth subject, alternating between its two most frequent task types
Practise source and material criticism: analyse three provided sources for origin, bias and reliability in writing
Solve 10 stochastics tasks (probability, binomial distribution, hypothesis testing) and verify each answer
Write two short evaluation passages (Beurteilung) in the fourth subject using a fixed criteria grid
Your checkpoint
A portfolio of 12 solved fourth-subject tasks with a self-marked criteria grid and two written evaluations.
Deutsch (German) & Fremdsprache (Foreign language)
Sit one full German mock (all required parts) under strict time and mark it with the official point scale
Sit one full foreign-language mock including the writing task and mark it against the rubric
Rewrite the weakest section of each mock from scratch with feedback-driven corrections
Rehearse the German oral or presentation component once with a recorded five-minute talk and self-review
Your checkpoint
Two fully marked mock exams with rewritten weak sections and a short comparison table against week 4 and week 5 scores.
Mathematik (Mathematics) & Gesellschaftswissenschaftliches oder naturwissenschaftliches Fach (Social or natural science subject)
Sit one full mathematics mock under strict time and mark it, then redo every lost point in a clean second pass
Sit one condensed fourth-subject mock and mark it with the criteria grid
Consolidate all four error logs into a single one-page 'final reminders' sheet per subject
Run a timed final review of formulas, operator verbs and vocabulary, closing any item still marked open
Your checkpoint
Two final marked mocks plus four one-page final-reminder sheets, with every open error-log item closed or explicitly deferred.
Milestones
Week 4: You can produce a structured Textanalyse and a full Erörterung within time, and your calculus and analytical-geometry error rate has fallen measurably against week 1; foreign-language baseline scores are recorded.
Week 6: All four domains have been practised at least once under exam-like conditions, and each has a working error log, formula or vocabulary sheet, and a known weakest task type.
Week 8: All four mocks are marked with scores trending upward, every error-log item is closed or consciously deferred, and you can state your target grade per subject with the evidence behind it.
