PATENT. The national diploma tests for the 2023 patent take place at the end of June; the academies give the marks to the candidates in July.
The Brevet des collèges diploma is the first for all students educated in France. As such, it is particularly symbolic, but it also rewards the efforts made by 3rd graders throughout the year. The four written tests will take place very soon and should not be taken lightly: if it is above all a question of checking the achievements of schooling, each test has its requirements and its difficulties.
Common to all candidates, the written examinations for the college certificate are scheduled for Monday 26 and Tuesday 27 June 2023 for the normal session. The replacement session is scheduled for Monday 18 and Tuesday 19 September 2023. It should also be noted that the modern foreign language test, reserved for individual candidates, will take place on Tuesday 27 June 2023 (afternoon) for the normal session. and Tuesday, September 19, 2023 (afternoon) for the replacement session.
The results of the college patent are revealed every year in dribs and drabs for all of the academies in France. The lists of those admitted to the DNB are accessible on our site, as well as the associated mentions, thanks to the search engine below: the results of the patent are accessible free of charge, just type in the name of the candidate, city or academy . Candidates are listed in alphabetical order.
The results of the patent are revealed at the beginning of July, on dates differing slightly according to the academies. This year, it is to be expected that the results of the patent of the colleges will be communicated between Friday 7 and Tuesday 11 July 2023.
The patent is scored out of 800 points in total, combining continuous monitoring and end-of-year tests. You need a minimum of 400 points to earn the diploma.
Continuous monitoring is taken into account in the marking, including projects carried out in class, like the EPI (Practical Interdisciplinary Teaching). The evaluation of the common base is done on eight skills, each evaluated in the school report through four levels of points:
- 10 dots for “insufficient” control
- 25 dots for a “fragile” mastery
- 40 dots for a “satisfactory” job
- 50 dots for a “very good” mastery
If the student has collected 50 points everywhere, he has accumulated the maximum possible for the continuous assessment part of the certificate, ie 400 points (as a reminder, this is half of the total points for the diploma). ► Consult the details of the skills of the common core on the website of the Ministry of Education
The final rounds of the college patent therefore represent “only” half of the total patent scale each year, scored out of 400 points. As a reminder, there are five: the four writings of French, mathematics, history-geography / moral and civic education and sciences, as well as an oral test. This consists of a 15-minute presentation divided into two parts: a 5-minute presentation of a project worked on during the year and a 10-minute interview with the jury. The project presented was worked on during the interdisciplinary practical lessons or the third-year internship in a company.
The three mentions of the college patent correspond to the levels of points obtained beyond the average of 400 points out of 800:
- Mention quite well : more than 480 points
- Mention GOOD : more than 560 points
- Mention Alright : more than 640 points
Mentions “regional language”, “college series, international option” and “Franco-German option” also exist. More information about this on the Onisep websitethe National Office for Information on Education and Professions, a public institution under the supervision of the Ministry of Education.
Results from the previous year are still available from our map and search engine. The results of the candidates for the 2023 patent will be available very soon from the same tools.
