The rest of the written tests on Tuesday. College students will tackle, during a second day of exams, written history-geography and science (physics-chemistry, life and earth sciences, technology).
A 15 minute oral test. Taking place over a period from mid-April to the end of the written tests, the main objective of this oral is to assess the quality of the oral expression of the candidates, who choose their subject. This can relate to the history of the arts (presentation of a pictorial work), an educational course (oral internship in particular) or interdisciplinary practical teaching (project combining several subjects).
