Ready! Steady! Exams!
This week, we’re getting into “exam mode” – as we know many of you dear Kwizzers are at this time of the year. Bon courage ! 🤗📝
For the majority of French students, their most memorable exam remains le Baccalauréat (or most commonly le Bac), which marks the end of le lycée (equivalent to high school) at the average age of 18. The exam session is split into 2: en première (i.e. penultimate year of lycée), you take the French written and oral exams, then the rest of your subjects the following year. The Philosophy exam usually kicks off the Bac exam session every year in early June, and it’s a national event: newspapers publish the exam questions, and politicians, journalists, and families eagerly debate them over dinner! To pass the Bac, you need an average grade of 10/20, but you can also aim for mentions (i.e. honours) at 12/20, 14/20, 16/20 and 18/20. ⭐🇫🇷
Alors, sans plus attendre, prepare your highlighters and post-its, and start reviewing all the resourceful French Kwiziq content we’ve selected for you! 📑☺️

Finally, let’s finish our exam preparation by practising this essential Exam and Testing vocabulary list and its interactive Word Game.
Another great way to remember new vocabulary is to write sentences using it in context. Here’s an example for you to get inspired:
– Alors, est-ce que tu as réussi ton examen ?
– J’ai répondu à toutes les questions. Il y avait un questionnaire à choix multiple, un texte à trous et un contrôle de compréhension orale. J’avais bien révisé, donc je pense que j’ai fait très peu d’erreurs, mais on verra bien !
– J’espère que tu obtiendras ton diplôme !
À vous de jouer !
