Tips from the people who write it
- Try the digital platform at least once before the real test: the question styles vary a lot.
- Have headphones ready: some of the test has audio.
- The Partie B texts are complete works of six kinds, so practise reading whole texts, not just excerpts.
After the exam
- Results
The school shares early results with families by the end of the school year. The Individual Student Profile follows in early September 2027, on myPass and from the school.
- Marks
Whether the test counts in a school mark is up to the school authority.
- If you miss it
A student absent on test day writes it when they’re back, before the last scheduled day. The principal, with the parents, can ask for a student to be excused where writing would harm them or they can’t take part in a meaningful way.
