Bremen Abitur Russian study plan

Inventory your current Russian level by completing one full Hörverstehen and one Leseverstehen task under timed conditions and logging every error by type (lexik, grammatik, rezeptionsstrategie).

Build a personal grammar error list of at least 25 items drawn from your own writing and reading errors, sorted by frequency.

Systematize the verb system: drill Aspektpaare (imperfektiv/perfektiv) for 40 high-frequency verbs and write one example sentence for each pair.

Read two expository Sachtexte of 400–500 words each (e.g. on Umwelt, Bildung, Technik) and extract the main claim plus three supporting arguments per text in note form.

Set up a weekly vocabulary log of 60 new lexical items per week organized by Bildungsplan topic fields (Gesellschaft, Umwelt, Wissenschaft, Kultur).

Complete three timed Hörverstehen tasks (one global, one detail, one selektiv) and transcribe the passages you failed to decode, marking the exact phonetic or lexical cause.

Consolidate the nominal system: drill the six Kasus with adjective, pronoun and numeral declension; produce 30 self-written sentences that each contain a declined attribute.

Practise the Bildungsplan text types: write one Erörterung outline and one Zusammenfassung of a 350-word source text, each within 20 minutes.

Train reading strategies explicitly (Skimming, Scanning, Detaillektüre) on three different text genres and record which strategy cost you the most time.

Speak 10 minutes aloud per session summarizing what you read, recording yourself twice and noting two fluency problems to fix.

Write two full Schreibaufgaben (one materialgestützt, one argumentativ) to time and self-assess against a checklist covering Aufbau, Kohärenz, Wortschatz, Grammatik.

Build a functional-phrase repertoire of 40 Redemittel for arguing, comparing, hedging and concluding, and use at least 20 of them in your two texts.

Research one landeskundliches Thema (e.g. russische Minderheiten, Sprachpolitik, ein regionales Beispiel) from two independent sources and summarize the differing perspectives in 200 words.

Identify and list five culture-specific concepts (Realien) that resist direct translation and explain each in Russian in two sentences.

Deliver a 5-minute monologue in Russian on that topic, structured with Einleitung–Argument–Fazit, and record it.

Map the exam structure: list every task type in the written Abitur (Hörverstehen, Leseverstehen, Schreiben, Sprachmittlung) with points, time budget and permitted Hilfsmittel, citing the LIS Vorgaben for your Prüfungsjahr.

Compile a one-page overview of the verbindlichen Themen und Textsorten from the Bildungsplan Sekundarstufe II and tick off which you have already covered.

Analyse three interkulturelle Fallbeispiele (Missverständnisse, Stereotype, Perspektivwechsel) and write a structured Deutung for each in German with Russian evidence.

Practise Sprachmittlung: mediate two short German source texts into Russian and two Russian texts into German, keeping register and intent.

Review your error log from weeks 1–3 and retire items you no longer get wrong; flag the rest for targeted drilling.

Sit one complete mock written exam under real conditions (all parts, strict timing, no aids) and score it against the official Bewertungskriterien.

Analyse the mock by task type: compute your percentage per competence area and rank the three biggest point losses.

Rewrite the weakest mock answer to full-mark standard and annotate every change with the criterion it satisfies.

Drill the identified weak grammar structures in 30 isolated transformation exercises, then reuse each in one free sentence.

Practise exam time management: rehearse a 5-minute planning routine for the Schreibaufgabe and test it twice.

Expand topic vocabulary to 300 active items across all Bildungsplan fields, testing yourself by producing sentences rather than translating lists.

Write one Erörterung and one Analyse eines Sachtextes to time, each with a clear thesis and at least three developed arguments.

Complete four Hörverstehen tasks at increasing speed and note comprehension rate per task.

Consolidate complex syntax: practise Partizipialkonstruktionen, Konjunktionen and subordinate clause chains by combining 25 sentence pairs.

Speak 15 minutes uninterrupted on two exam topics, using only Russian and self-correcting without stopping.

Sit a second full mock exam, this time also rehearsing the mündliche Prüfung format (Vortrag, Bild-/Textimpuls, Prüfungsgespräch) with a partner or recording.

Compare mock 2 with mock 1: verify that at least two previously weak areas improved measurably and document the evidence.

Prepare and memorize a flexible argument skeleton for interkulturelle Themen that works for unseen material.

Review all LIS formalities: Anmeldung, Prüfungszeitraum, Nachschreibetermine, erlaubte Wörterbücher, Ausweispflicht - and list open questions for your school.

Do a final pass on the error log; everything still unresolved gets a written Merksatz.

Run two half-length timed rehearsals (one written, one oral) in the final week and keep only light review afterwards to protect performance.

Reduce your materials to a one-page personal Spickzettel of structures, Redemittel and strategy reminders - then stop adding new content.

Rehearse the oral exam opening (Selbstvorstellung, Themenüberblick) five times until it is fluent without notes.

Verify logistics: sleep schedule, exam location, arrival time, materials packed, ID ready.

Write a short self-evaluation naming your three strongest competences and your fallback strategy if a task type appears unexpectedly.
