FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Abitur grade calculated?
The Abitur grade is calculated from course grades in the qualification phase (two-thirds of the total) and the five Abitur exams (one-third). Maximum 900 points, minimum 300 points to pass.
What is the conversion from Abitur points to the final grade?
The final grade is calculated as: grade = (17/3) - (points / 180). A perfect 900 points yields 1.0, while 300 points yields 4.0. Below 300 points means failing the Abitur.
Does this grading scheme apply to all German states?
The standard grading scheme is nationwide. However, individual schools or states may use custom grade keys — you can adjust the values in the calculator.

How does the Abitur Grading Calculator work?
Enter your total points (min. 300, max. 900). The calculator determines the Abitur grade using the formula: grade = 17/3 - points/180. The grade is rounded to one decimal place.
Key Data and Facts
Points range: 300-900. Formula: grade = 17/3 - points/180. Minimum points: 300 (grade 4.0). Best grade 1.0: from 823 points. Average Abitur grade 2024: approx. 2.3.
Step-by-Step Guide
How to calculate your Abitur grade step by step: 1. Enter your total points -- the sum of all points from the qualification phase (Block I and Block II). 2. Valid range: A minimum of 300 points (= grade 4.0) and a maximum of 900 points (= grade 1.0) are possible. 3. Formula: Abitur grade = 17/3 - total points / 180. The result is rounded to one decimal place. 4. Key thresholds: 1.0 from 823 points, 1.5 from 733 points, 2.0 from 643 points, 2.5 from 553 points, 3.0 from 463 points, 3.5 from 373 points, 4.0 from 300 points. 5. Block I (course semesters): At least 200 points in at least 40 courses, of which no more than 20 % may be below 5 points. Block II (exams): At least 100 points in 5 examination subjects. 6. Tip: For NC degree programs such as medicine (approx. 1.0) or psychology (approx. 1.2-1.5), calculate the required number of points early on.
Calculation Example
720 points: Abitur grade = 17/3 - 720/180 = 5.667 - 4.0 = 1.7. 480 points: Abitur grade = 5.667 - 2.667 = 3.0.
