[Mis à jour le 13 mai 2022 à 11h36] NEWS OF THE DAY – There is one last specialty to pass for general baccalaureate candidates who have opted for it, this Friday, May 13, 2022. We have cited that of Literature and languages and cultures of antiquity (LLCA), whose national evaluation is scheduled from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. this afternoon. Like all of the specialty tests for the general and technological baccalaureate during the final exams, the students work for a coefficient of 16. A not insignificant step, therefore, to obtain the baccalaureate!
For more than 520,000 seniors in general and technological high schools, the first exams for the 2022 baccalaureate take place this week, on the afternoons of Wednesday May 11, Thursday May 12 and Friday May 13. The bac specialty tests are indeed taking place for the first time in France this year, initiated by the new bac formula in 2019, but canceled twice due to Covid. For this edition of the baccalaureate, they will have been postponed for two months… but are indeed taking place.
The final exams (French in first, specialties in May, then major oral and philosophy in June) count “only” for 60% of the total mark of the new baccalaureate. Their result is indeed supplemented by 40% of continuous control, on the five subjects of the common core (see here for more details on the subject).
All of the baccalaureate subjects on which the candidates worked on Wednesday May 11 and Thursday May 12 are now online, as well as their answers. Check them out via the list below:
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.

The baccalaureate and high school reform put in place by the government began to be applied in schools during the back to school school in September 2019. As for the first baccalaureate truly impacted by the reform, it took place in 2021. The Première also started their “E3C” in January 2020, or common continuous assessment tests for the 2021 baccalaureate, which were subsequently abolished . But it is in 2022 that we can take the real measure of the reform of the baccalaureate, with an almost entirely renewed edition.
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 in final tests which represent 60% of his overall mark, and on the other hand to the assessments organized during his schooling in first and final classes as part ofcontinuous control which represents 40% its overall grade”. Continuous assessment is now fully integrated into the baccalaureate to assess the disciplines of the common core, i.e. 5 subjects: history-geography, modern languages A and B (2 subjects), physical education and sports (EPS), science education in the general way and mathematics in the technological way.
The specialty tests are part of the final tests that complete the continuous assessment of the new baccalaureate. In the final year, each high school student has two specialties of their choice from among twelve possible subjects: Arts, History-geography, geopolitics and political science, Humanity, literature, philosophy, Literature and languages and cultures of Antiquity, Languages, literatures and foreign cultures and regional, Mathematics, Digital and computer sciences, Physics-chemistry, Economics and social sciences, Engineering sciences and Life and earth sciences. Each specialty test is scored on a coefficient of 16. The specialty tests correspond to 32% of the final mark (out of the 60% of non-continuous assessment).
The grand oral is one of the new tests initiated by the reform of the baccalaureate in 2018. It is rated coefficient 10 in the general stream and coefficient 14 in the technological stream. The high school students worked on this test for the new baccalaureate for the first time during the 2021 session. The grade for the grand oral is based both on the candidate’s knowledge, transmitted during his presentation, and on his general expression. The grand oral is spread over 40 minutes, with a preparation time of twenty minutes to prepare the answer to his question, then a passage time of twenty minutes including: five minutes of presentation, then ten minutes of jury interview / candidate on the selected subject and finally five minutes of discussion around the candidate’s orientation project.
For the written exams of the general baccalaureate, the student works on a text commentary or on an essay. The test lasts 4 hours. It is scored out of 20 points. At the level of the technological baccalaureate, the duration and the notation are the same, but the tests differ in part (contraction of text, essay).
French oral counting for the general and technological baccalaureate consists of two parts, with a preparation time of half an hour beforehand. The first part of the test (12 minutes, scored out of 12 points) consists of a preparation of the text validated by the examiner, a reading of the text aloud, a linear explanation of a passage of about twenty lines and an answer to a grammar question about the text. The second part of the test (8 minutes, scored out of 8 points) aims to present the work chosen from among those studied in class.
Who says new baccalaureate in 2022, also says new coefficient for each test. Certain specialties evaluated in continuous assessment for the final year can reach coefficients of 16, when the great oral passes to the coefficient 10, the philosophy to the coefficient 8, French (final tests of first) and EPS (continuous control in terminale) to the coefficient 5 and the E3C at 2.5. To know in detail these new coefficients for the general baccalaureate following the reform of the baccalaureate, follow the links below.
What is their date? How to consult them? How are they taken into account by Parcoursup? Or how are the catch-ups organized for those who did not get their baccalaureate on the first try? The baccalaureate results ask many questions every year. With the new format of the baccalaureate, the questions are undoubtedly even more numerous for this 2022 edition of the precious exam. The answers in our special page.
Officially called “second group events”, the remedial process is intended for 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.
