I think the only real problem with the Abi - and I'm not completely certain that part hasn't changed since I took it around 1980 - is that the points don't just come from the exams, but also from courses in the last two years, making it pretty hard to get there with only one year available. Back then, the exam consisted of two written and two oral ones, in four subjects selected before those last two years - typically the two one likes best ("Leistungskurs", with double the normal hours, sort of an AP course, and the written tests at the end) and whatever two others fill out the necessary requirements. For me, that was maths, physics, Latin, and religion (avoiding sports) - I'm told the rules got changed so those would no longer actually fill the requirements in later years (probably need something like German in there, too, I don't recall the details; the rules were already somewhat arcane back then).

In fact, the English Wikipedia article on Abitur seems to have more details on this than the German one (see under "Scoring").
