France’s Brevet Exams Conclude with Final Science Test

Results will be published from July 7 to 11 after make-up sessions were arranged for students sidelined by violent storms.

« Il est essentiel de comprendre qu’il n’est pas nécessaire de tout savoir – c’est un point à rappeler constamment aux élèves. L’important est d’être combatif le jour J », explique la coach scolaire Manon Dauzat.

Overview

  • 865,881 middle-school students nationwide took written Brevet exams on June 26–27 in French, mathematics, history-geography, civic education and science.
  • Education Minister Élisabeth Borne assured that pupils prevented by severe storms could sit make-up exams without penalty.
  • The French paper featured a Simone de Beauvoir dictation and an essay choice while the mathematics test covered probability, geometry and algebra scenarios.
  • History-geography candidates analysed documents on the Hauts-de-France “valley of batteries” and the civic education section probed gender equality before students tackled a one-hour science exam in two of three disciplines.
  • Brevet scores combine continuous assessment and five terminal exams—including an oral component—for a total of 800 points, with results due July 7–11.
