What are the dates of the next bac exams?

Dates of the general and technological baccalaureate:

  • Catch-up tests: from July 6 to 8, 2022.

Dates of the vocational baccalaureate exams

  • Control tests : from July 6 to 8, 2022.

Catch-up tests: how does it work, what dates?

For the general baccalaureate, students with an average equal to or greater than 8, and less than 10 out of 20. will be able to take the catch-up orals from Wednesday July 6 to Friday July 8, 2022. The Candidates choose a maximum of two courses from among those corresponding to the final tests of the first group: French, philosophy or the two specialist courses taken in terminale. The candidate then takes an oral test in each of these two courses.
Please note that oral scores must be higher than those obtained at the end of the first group in order to be taken into account by applying the coefficient.

For the vocational baccalaureate, the so-called control tests, also take place between July 6 and 8, for candidates who have obtained a general average greater than 8 and less than 10 out of 20, and an average mark greater than or equal to 10 out of 20 at the all the vocational examinations for the vocational baccalaureate. This remedial or control test provides for: a question in mathematics and/or physics-chemistry, and/or economics-law or economics-management and/or prevention-health-environment on the one hand, as well as in French or history -geography-moral and civic education on the other hand. Candidates can also choose the two disciplines on which they wish to be questioned. Each sub-test is scored out of 20 points and is assigned the coefficient of the corresponding sub-test in the examination regulations for the specialty of the vocational baccalaureate concerned. The candidate is declared admitted, after deliberation by the jury, when he has obtained a general average greater than or equal to 10 out of 20 at the end of the control test.

The usual mentions are maintained this year. But from what grade do we get a mention in the baccalaureate ?

  • Mention Fairly well for an average between 12 and 14
  • Mention Bien : between 14 and 16
  • Honors : between 16 and 18;
  • Mention Very good with the congratulations of the jury for an average greater than 18.

Replacement sessions: when?

The replacement written tests take place from Wednesday 7 to Friday 9 September for the technological baccalaureate, and from 7 to 12 September for the general baccalaureate. Candidates for the vocational baccalaureate will take the replacement session from September 6 to 16, 2022. Candidates who were unable to appear on the day of the exam for reasons of force majeure can retake the tests. The marks obtained then replace those obtained as part of the continuous assessment or during the remedial tests.

Final or anticipated tests

Of the 100 coefficients, 60 would be obtained in the context of anticipated tests or final tests:

  • Advance examinations for the French baccalaureate at the end of first year (written, coefficient 5; oral, coefficient 5);
  • The two tests for specialty lessons followed in terminale (coefficient 16 for each of them). This therefore represents 32% of the final mark (out of the 60% of the final examination).
  • The philosophy (coefficient 8 in the general route, 4 in the technological route);
  • The Grand Oral Baccalaureate (coefficient 10 in the general route, 14 in the technological route).

Continuous control coefficients

40 of these coefficients would be obtained with continuous control calculated according to the student’s general average, which takes into account the averages for the year of the final cycle school report cards.

  • All the disciplines of the common core which are not the subject of final tests (modern languages ​​A and B, history-geography, physical education and sports, scientific education for the general route, mathematics for the technological route) would have a coefficient of 6 (3 in 1st, 3 in terminal);
  • Specialty education (abandoned at the end of first year) would have a coefficient of 8 (ie half of the specialty education retained by the candidate in the final year);
  • Moral and civic education will have a coefficient of 2 (1 in première, 1 in terminale). It contributes to the acquisition of the values ​​of the Republic and secularism, and will thus be distinguished in the evaluation.

For students in the general and technological baccalaureate, continuous assessment counts for 40% of the final grade : the average of the reports of 1st has a coefficient 5 just like the teaching of specialty followed only in 1st. In this percentage, we also find history geography, modern language A and modern language B which have a coefficient of 6.33 and scientific education and PE which have a coefficient of 5 and which are linked to the final cycle 2022-2022. Finally, moral and civic education, which has a coefficient of 1, is also part of continuous assessment. LThe final check counts for 60% of the final grade. The anticipated French tests have a coefficient of 5 for the oral and 5 for the written. The two specialty courses have a coefficient of 16 and philosophy a coefficient of 8. Finally, the Grand oral has a coefficient of 10 in general. The Ministry of National Education offers on its website a painting allowing you to easily calculate our rating.
