Compensation for disadvantages in examination performance

Compensation for disadvantages can be claimed by students if they have a chronic illness or a disability and are therefore unable to complete the examination performance in the prescribed form and/or duration, or can only complete it in part. The examination performance is then adapted by using technical aids, a different type of examination or a longer processing time (see Section 21 (1) ABPO). Neither the content nor the level of difficulty of the social services: benefits are changed by compensation for disadvantages, only the framework conditions are modified in such a way that equal participation is made possible as far as possible.

Before submitting an application, please read the following detailed information on compensation for disadvantages carefully.
