BAC 2022. From the dates to the program of the tests through their development, but also the calculation and the publication of the results… Many questions arise about the 2022 edition of the baccalaureate. Here are answers.
[Mis à jour le 13 avril 2022 à 10h27] What are the specificities of the 2022 baccalaureate exams? As developed below in this special page, the mark of the baccalaureate is based 40% on continuous assessment and 60% on final exams (written and oral French, philosophy, specialty exams and the grand oral). This year’s specialty events have been postponed. The candidates will work on it in mid-May. The other final rounds are scheduled for the second half of June (see exact dates here).
During the previous edition of the baccalaureate, at the end of a school year disrupted by the Covid pandemic (82% of the exam was passed in continuous assessment!), nearly 94% of the 732,800 baccalaureate candidates had passed the exam at the end of the first resit session. A slightly lower rate compared to 2020. In our special page, consult the dates and details on the tests and the results, or even the catch-up.
As specified by the Ministry of Education on his site“The baccalaureate diploma is issued, in the general and in the technological path, in view of the results obtained by the candidate, on the one hand to final tests which represent 60% of their overall markand on the other hand to the evaluations organized during his schooling in first and final classes as part ofcontinuous control which represents 40% of their overall score.”
The dates of the 2022 general and technological baccalaureate exams are spread out between Wednesday 11 May and Friday July 1, 2022. The tests which relate to the two specialty courses take place from May 11 to 13, following their two-month postponement to adapt to the Covid health crisis. The philosophy test takes place on June 15, and that of the grand oral, between June 20 and July 1. As for the vocational baccalaureate exams, they must take place between May 23 and June 24, 2022.

In a current health context marked by an active circulation of the Omicron variant, the Ministry of Education formalized on January 28, by means of a press release, the following adjustments to the passage of the 2022 baccalaureate:
- For’physical education and sportthe checks during training, usually three in number, may be reduced to two (subject to the availability of the facilities and the preparation of the students, in connection with the health crisis)
- In terms ofadvance oral French test in 1st general and technological, the number of texts to be presented orally will be reduced to 16 in general and 9 in technological. “The specific timetables for the tests of individual candidates, set at the academic level, will be adapted to take this situation into account”, further specifies the ministry in its press release.
- On the professional path, the length of the on-the-job training periods (PFMP) will be reduced by two weeks. “This measure will also allow candidates to devote more time to preparing for the tests, which will retain the same format and the same program,” adds the ministry.
A postponement to May of the baccalaureate specialty exams
On January 28, the Minister of National Education Jean-Michel Blanquer also announced a postponement of the specialty exams for the 2022 baccalaureate in May, instead of the initial dates in March. Instead of taking the specialty tests from March 14 to 16, final year students will work on it from May 11 to 13. (more details here). “Given the numerous and successive absences due to illness, the pupils find themselves in very different situations in terms of preparation. Maintaining the tests unchanged in March would therefore have led to breaches of equality between candidates depending on the territories or situations. personal,” the ministry said in its January 28 statement. The objective of the postponement is therefore “to preserve equal treatment between candidates and to allow everyone to calmly prepare for these tests”.
The date of the results of the 2022 general, technological and professional baccalaureate is known: it will be from Tuesday July 5.
It will of course be necessary to wait for the end of the next baccalaureate exams to consult the result of the baccalaureate 2022.

Attention ! The names of candidates who failed the first session or who were subject to resit are available only on an individual basis. Each candidate must expressly authorize at the beginning of the year the publication of his name in the list of admitted via a signed document, to appear in these results. The schools to which each candidate belongs are no longer made public by the ministry since 2012.
The result of the technological baccalaureate is available for consultation the same day as the results of the technological baccalaureate and the professional baccalaureate, in the display center or on resultat.siec.education.fr . During the previous edition of the baccalaureate, students in these sectors were able to read the verdict on July 6.

Candidates for the bac pro may also have to collect this transcript from their training establishment, if their head of establishment specifies it.

Candidates can view their result online on their academy’s website by logging in with their personal ID. They also receive their transcripts by mail a few days later.

Officially called “second group events”, the remedial process is intended to all candidates whose average is between 8 and 9.99/20 at the end of the first session of the baccalaureate. Each candidate must choose two tests to retake to recover a maximum of points, at the same coefficient as in mid-June. The students submitted to the remedial session are fixed at the beginning of the week following the results of the baccalaureate, the repechages taking place in the days following the result of the 1st group. The precise dates and times of the remedial orals are traditionally communicated to the candidate at his place of examination, after having chosen the subjects to be retaken.
The 2022 baccalaureate remedial orals are taking place from Wednesday 6 to Friday 8 July 2022.
The results of the baccalaureate for the second group (following the remedial orals) are available the same afternoon of the day of the orals.
