Overview

• On July 24 in ARD’s Inas Nacht, Kramer admitted he left his Abitur exam room up to 20 times to consult cheat sheets he had hidden in his car.
• He called the tactic “kleinkriminell und sehr riskant” and said he probably would not have passed the exam without cheating.
• Seeking clarity on his intellect, Kramer completed three IQ tests that each yielded a score of 91, placing him below the German average of 100.
• He said the initial results were a shock and delivered the revelation in a self-deprecating tone that has drawn widespread media attention.
• Kramer has said he plans a new IQ test to gauge any improvement and move closer to the benchmark of 100.
