Do Germans take gcse or end of year exams?

German students don't take GCSEs. GCSEs are a specific set of exams taken in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Germany has its own educational system and its own equivalent exams, which vary depending on the type of school and the specific track a student is on. These exams are generally taken at the end of secondary school and are crucial for university entrance. They are not directly comparable to GCSEs in terms of content or structure.
