    Write a practical text for the planned situation, such as a description with a title, an introduction, two or three details using your senses, and a conclusion. Then revise it.

How it’s marked

  1. Level 1
  2. Level 2
  3. Level 3
  4. Level 4

Markers at a provincial scoring session mark your text on each trait, from level 1 to level 4. There's no pass mark: levels 3 and 4 meet the expectations.

On the day

  1. Day 1Your teacher reads a message that sets up the writing situation, and you plan in Cahier A. About 60 minutes.
  2. Day 2You write your text in Cahier B. About 90 minutes, with a break recommended.
  3. Day 3A make-up day for anyone who was away.

Two days, on paper. Paper dictionaries, a grammar and a Bescherelle are allowed, but no online dictionary, homemade aids or posters.

Getting ready

2 official documents to practise with, and 3 tips.

Tips from the people who write it

  • Use the planning day well: a plan with a title, introduction, details and conclusion makes the writing day easier.
  • There's no minimum length, but a text that's too short can't meet the standards.
  • Keep time to revise with the dictionary, grammar and Bescherelle.

After the exam

Results

Parents can see results online in monACCÈS once marking is done.

Re-marking

You can appeal a result: the school sends a written request with a $25 cheque by October 31, and two independent markers mark the test again. Families who can’t afford the fee can ask the school about an exception.

If you miss it

A make-up period is set aside for students absent at the official sitting. In a two-part exam, both parts are needed for a result. A student can be exempted when no accommodation fits, their French isn’t yet strong enough, or the exam wouldn’t fairly show what they’ve learned.

From Fondements et gestion, Programme provincial d’évaluation des apprentissages (secteur francophone) (gnb.ca), read on October 27, 2026.
