Advance and final tests
For the 2023-2024 session, the subject coefficients have changed. The final exams represent 60% of the final baccalaureate mark. 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).
- 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, living language A and living 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 2022-2023. Finally, moral and civic education, which has a coefficient of 1, is also part of continuous assessment. IThe 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.
