From June 2026, the students of first will have to face a new anticipated math test, designed to restore its place to this discipline in the baccalaureate.
Since the start of the 2025-2026 school year, a new anticipated mathematics test has come into force for the general and technological baccalaureate session. This reform, formalized by a decree and a decree of June 10, 2025, aims to revalue mathematics in the high school student and to ensure a national assessment in this discipline. The first session will be held in June 2026, and the results of this event will be integrated into the Parcoursup file.
What students will have to take the new math test?
All first and technological path students will have to put this early mathematics test. For students in the general process, the test will either relate to the program of mathematical specialty education (for those who have chosen it), or on the program of teaching “specific mathematics” integrated into scientific education (for those who have not chosen the specialty). In the technological way, the test will focus on the joint mathematics teaching program in first.
The test is written, lasts two hours and takes place without calculator (except development for candidates for specific needs). In addition, the test is divided into two parts:
- Part 1 (6 points): A multiple choice questionnaire (MCQ) studys automatisms (resolution of equations, calculation of proportions, probabilities, etc.).
- Part 2 (14 points): two to three independent exercises to assess the mathematical knowledge and skills mobilized by the student.
What coefficient for the bac?
The new mathematics test is noted on 20 points and counts for a coefficient 2 in the final note of the baccalaureate.
What are the dates of the mathematics test in 2026?
The specific dates of the test are set in June 2026 for the inaugural session. The results will be published in July and will be used for admission to higher education via Parcoursup.
This reform establishes an early math test for all first students, with a structured course and a modest, but significant coefficient. It marks a clear desire to strengthen the place of mathematics in the course and to ensure a uniform national assessment.
