In Germany funding doesn't vary much for schools in the same region and is basically based on size of the student body.

The last two years of school are generally a prep course for the German SAT equivalent (and grades in those two years account for around two thirds of the final score).

For most students it's free (included in their parent's insurance who pay ~8% of their income). The other's pay 80€ (or 160€ for students over 30 or studying longer than seven years).
