Perfect Abitur score: Student achieves maximum points, sees attention as opportunity

Alexander Jorias has achieved a perfect score on his Abitur, Germany's final high school examination, earning the maximum 900 out of 900 points. While this officially equates to a 1.0 grade, Jorias's performance is mathematically even higher, though the German grading system caps at 1.0.

The perfect Abi itself I don't really know how much that really matters for life.

"I don't really know how much the perfect Abi itself matters for life," the 19-year-old told the German Press Agency. He finds the attention generated by his record result more valuable, noting increased media interest since his graduation. Jorias sees this attention as an advantage, believing it can be helpful in various life situations, especially when people search for him online.

Alongside his studies, Jorias cultivated a significant following on TikTok, where he shares insights into his school life, study methods, and tips for achieving good grades. "I see TikTok more as a springboard," he commented, enjoying the process of building a community and sharing advice, though he remains uncertain about pursuing it as a full-time career.

I believe that there is practically no situation in life where that can't somehow be helpful.

Following a post-Abitur trip to Asia with friends, Jorias is heading to Munich to study Management and Technology. He prefers to keep his future plans open-ended. Jorias consistently felt that achieving a top result was possible, stating, "I always had the thought in the back of my mind, I actually know that it's possible."

I see TikTok more as a springboard and I find it very cool to build a community, to share tips.

While his certificate will officially list a 1.0, Jorias acknowledges the 900 points are clearly stated. He notes that it would have been beneficial for applications if the unofficial 0.6 average could be formally recognized. In 2025, 1,118 out of 23,045 Abitur candidates in Germany achieved a 1.0 grade.
