How to consult the Bac 2023 results online (France)

The baccalauréat, often referred to as the "Bac", is much more than just a final exam in secondary education. It is regarded as a genuine professional and academic elevator for young people. It determines access to higher education and opens the door to a range of jobs in different fields.

In 2023, the results of the general, technological and vocational baccalaureate will be published from Tuesday July 4. For all those who are eagerly awaiting those results, this article will guide you on when and how to consult your results online.

Understanding the Results Publication System

The publication of baccalauréat results is a complex and highly organized operation. It begins with the collection of the papers, their correction by qualified teachers, and then the consolidation of the marks.

Each exam paper is graded by at least two markers to ensure fair assessment. Once this stage has been completed, the marks are forwarded to the school administration, where they are entered into the computer system.

Once all the marks have been collected and recorded, they are forwarded to the baccalauréat jury. The jury is responsible for verifying grades and awarding honors. Once validated by the jury, the results are ready for publication.

On the day of publication, results are posted in the high schools and on online platforms. Students can then find out their marks and honors, and whether they have obtained their diploma.

Rattrapages du Baccalauréat

Rattrapages, also known as second group exams, are a second chance for candidates who did not obtain the required number of points to pass their baccalauréat in the first group exams. These tests are an opportunity for students to improve their marks and, potentially, earn their diploma.

When and how do the catch-ups take place?

Catch-up exams generally take place a few days after the results of the first group are announced. They consist of a series of oral exams covering the main subjects in the student's curriculum. Each test lasts around twenty minutes, with the same amount of preparation time.

The choice of subjects to be retaken is determined by the student. He/she must choose two subjects from those presented in the first group, and generally those in which he/she thinks he/she can improve his/her grade the most are chosen.

Who is eligible to apply?

Catch-up exams are reserved for candidates with an overall average of between 8 and 10 out of 20 in the first group of exams. Candidates with an average of less than 8 are unfortunately disqualified, while those with an average of more than 10 pass.

What happens after the catch-up?

Once the rattrapages have been completed, the marks are quickly tallied and the final results published. These results determine whether the candidate has succeeded in improving his/her average to reach the pass mark for the baccalauréat.

If the candidate passes his or her rattrapages, he or she is awarded the baccalauréat, just like students who passed the first group of exams. If not, they have the option of re-registering to take the baccalauréat again the following year.
