You have to get at least 400 points to get it. French and mathematics are assessed on 100 points, and history-geography and science on 50 points.
This exam also consists of an oral, set up in 2015 and then in 2017 in its current form and assessed on 100 points. It takes place in the form of an individual interview of 15 minutes (5 minutes of presentation and 10 minutes of interview).
A relatively stable success rate
Last year, the success rate fell by 0.6 points to 87.5%. In 2020, a year disrupted by the Covid where only continuous monitoring had been taken into account, the success rate had risen to 90.5%. It had been 86.5% in 2019, 87.1% in 2018 and 89% in 2017.
The patent, whose ancestor (the BEPC) was created in 1947, is a diploma which attests to the knowledge and skills acquired at the end of college, at the end of the third class, according to the title of the Ministry of l ‘Education. Passed by teenagers who are mostly 14 or 15 years old, it is therefore located shortly before the end of compulsory education (16 years in France).
