SUBJECTS IF. Some candidates for the 2023 baccalaureate will take the engineering sciences (SI) specialty test on March 20 and 21. What are the possible topics and how is the exam conducted?

The month of March will end with the specialty tests for high school students in Terminale. June is still a long way off, but it is already time to dive into the atmosphere of the 2023 baccalaureate. However, we are starting gently with only two tests for baccalaureate candidates, those concerning the subjects studied in specialties, in the year of Première and Terminale . High school students who love science and innovation have undoubtedly chosen to take the engineering science (SI) course, now it’s up to them to show their abilities and all of their knowledge. Candidates will have four hours on Monday 20 and Tuesday 21 March to work on their IS subject. The event will be held from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. in mainland France and Mayotte and from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. in the DROM-COM. It goes without saying that the subjects will be different from one day to the next to avoid any attempt at cheating between the candidates.

Unsurprisingly, purely scientific subjects await high school students, but the National Education has specified that the SI specialty tests at the baccalaureate will only relate to themes included in the Terminale program. The fact remains that the concepts covered in engineering sciences are numerous with, in addition, themes that focus on complements to the physical sciences. Also the SI specialty written test is divided into two parts: one half on pure SI and another half on knowledge in physical sciences which take up part of the physics-chemistry program. If each counts for 20 points, the first is coefficient 12, when the second is only coefficient 4.

In addition to the lessons and the experiments carried out during the lessons, candidates for the SI specialty test for the baccalaureate can use the answers and subjects from previous years to practice before the exam. This gives an idea of ??what to expect on the day of the test and more to get an idea of ??its level. Linternaute gives you direct access to a proposed answer key for the SI 2022 specialty baccalaureate subject. An associate professor is responsible for writing the answers and developments expected during the test to deliver a complete and detailed answer key for the exam for baccalaureate candidates.

Impossible to know in advance the subjects that will fall during the engineering sciences specialty test for the baccalaureate. But high school students can be sure that there will be no surprises. The Ministry of National Education has specified the topics that can be included in the test. As for the SI part, here are the topics to review:

As for the second part of the SI specialty test, the high school student must master all the items of the themes “Movement and interactions” and “Energy: conversions and transfers” in addition to the following concepts in the chapter “Waves and signals”:

The results of the SI specialty test will be available on Tuesday July 4, 2023, at the same time as the results of the other tests (French, philosophy and major oral). The fact that the specialty lessons are examined earlier does not influence the publication of the results.
