It's a first. Candidates for the baccalaureate are immersed this year 2023 in the stress of the exam from this month of March, with three first dates of tests devoted to specialty lessons, with a high coefficient. In total, students in the general and technological streams will have to work on two subjects, for three or four hours depending on the subject. The latter will therefore be convened over two days, at the rate of one event per day. As a reminder, these tests inherited from the 2019 reform had been canceled in 2020 due to Covid-19 and had been postponed to May 2021 due to a start to the school year still disrupted by the epidemic. Also for the first time this year, they will count for the Parcoursup admissions platform.
The tests for the 2023 edition will then continue for the general and technological streams from mid-June with the philosophy test but also the grand oral and the anticipated French tests for first year students. Here is a summary of the major events of the coming months.
