Overview
- Thirty candidates completed 60 questions in 45 minutes, including English items, with logic questions limited to 20 seconds each.
- The assessment covers general culture, logic and English to gauge knowledge, analytical ability and performance under pressure.
- Scores will count significantly toward the jury’s selection of the Top 12 for the December 6 final in Amiens.
- All participants will receive their grades this year, though only the three highest scores will be announced publicly.
- The dictation used in recent editions was dropped in favor of French grammar and vocabulary questions, as media noted the customary “perles” from some answers.
