What it is Filled
The German secondary school leaving qualification that grants general university entrance, the Allgemeine Hochschulreife, awarded after final examinations at the end of Gymnasium or equivalent schools, with rules set by each federal state within Kultusministerkonferenz agreements, after 12 or 13 school years, the shift to 12 years known as G8 having been partly reversed; the registry aliases include Notabitur, emergency diplomas granted to students called up during the world wars, AbiBac, a dual German-French qualification, and state-specific pages for Berlin and Saxony, which are not separate qualifications. Grading and admission rules should be checked with the relevant state ministry.
