Two centuries old, still the gate.
Le baccalauréat – 'the bac' – has been France's school-leaving and university-entrance exam since 1808, and roughly three-quarters of a million candidates sit it each June across the voie générale and voie technologique. The modern format rotates around épreuves de spécialité in March, then French, philosophy – yes, philosophy – the grand oral, and the track sciences. The bac's reputation for breadth is earned: it doesn't test a course, it tests a formation.
A formation is a map, not a notebook
Breadth is exactly where maps earn their keep: every spécialité as a territory, philosophy's notions as clusters you can connect to the year's actualité, the grand oral rehearsed as a walk across two specialties you can explain out loud. Rereading fiches tells you what you recognize; quiz colors tell you what you can produce – and the bac rewards production.
