nationally uniform Abitur

It should be noted that the issue here is not recognition across all states - that was settled a long time ago - but a truly centralized exam which is apparently being tested in several states (see second link below)

Example:

"With a nationally uniform Abitur, the pupils’ degrees would become more easily comparable."
Peer comment(s):

agree David Moore (X) : I think probably 'national Abitur' would suffice - provided the customer accepts the word Abitur...

Germans may prefer to use "länderübergreifendes Abitur" over "Nationales/bundesweites Abitur" because a true national exam hasn't been fully implemented yet. It's a judgment call to what extent that distinction should be impressed on English speakers

agree Jessica Cox : Sounds accurate to me! Nationally uniform Abitur seems to be the best translation to me.

Thanks, srangela
agree Usch Pilz : I like the interstate solution, because it doesn't automatically imply that ALL the federal states are sharing the same standards, just some.
