Overview

- The outcome is lower than 2025’s 2.6% (51 of about 2,000), and last year’s tally later increased after successful legal challenges.
- Participation fell by roughly 800 compared with 2025 as fewer families pursued the one‑day assessment route.
- Officials say the results validate the recommendation threshold and the accuracy of primary‑school forecasts, with about 53–54% of sixth‑graders already holding a Gymnasium recommendation.
- About 600 test takers had a Notensumme above 16 in the key subjects, while parents’ representatives and SPD lawmakers press for the promised test evaluation and evidence of pilot trials.
