  1. I am doing the preparatory classes in the second year, can I take the French baccalauréat 1 competition?

  2. @Le Modeste: Hello, yes to our knowledge it is possible to pass the BAC 1 entrance examination even though you are at a level higher, or that you have repeated your college year once, the important thing is to have at least a BAC 1 or to be in this year. We do not affirm anything, but we believe that it is possible. It is also necessary to inquire for each IEP, because some offer possibilities of access in BAC 2 specifically, for example. We hope to have answered and understood the question well, let us know the results if this is the case, and have a nice day.

  3. I did my baccalaureate in 2012. Is it possible to take this exam next year?
