It is impressive how focused the students prepared for their final exams. "Because despite Corona, we in Hesse did not compromise on standards and standards." According to the minister, 19,640 students took part in this year's Abitur exams. Due to the switch from G9 to G8, the number was a good 3,000 less than in the previous year. 18,978 candidates passed the Abitur, which corresponds to a rate of 96.6 percent. 799 high school graduates achieved a grade of 1.0.
