09:44 – Physics-chemistry and SVT selected for the 2023 patent science test
Whether it is the general series or the professional series, it is physics-chemistry and SVT which are selected for the science test for the 2023 college certificate. This is the Ministry of National Education who decided.
09:38 – Brevet 2023: four written tests and an oral test take place in June
The final exams for the college patent are divided into five exams. The four written tests of the DNB are as follows: French, Mathematics, History-Geography / Moral and Civic Education, and Sciences (Physics Chemistry, SVT, Techno). These tests are supplemented by an oral test of the patent.
09:25 – Latecomers still have half an hour to show up
The rule is the same for all national table-top exams: latecomers can enter the exam room during the hour following the start of the exam, but not later, to the nearest minute, in order to avoid subject leaks. This Monday, June 26, it is therefore possible to show up until 10 a.m. maximum. The candidates concerned must then return their copy by 12:15 p.m. at the latest, like everyone else.
09:15 – Not everything is played out these days! Half of the patent grade relies on continuous assessment

At the college patent, it is necessary to accumulate at least 480 points to obtain the mention “Pretty good”, at least 560 points for that of the mention “Good” and 640 points or more for the mention “Very good” .

The replacement session is set for Monday September 18 and Tuesday September 19, 2023. 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.
What will third-grade students (and free candidates) be asked about this year? For each subject, the college students have been well prepared and there will be no surprises. But the written tests are not to be taken lightly: it is an exercise that requires rigor, application and good stress management. Here is what you need to know, before the tests, on the subjects of French, mathematics, history-geography and science.
Result of the patent 2023
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.
