It is the big day for 11,119 students, this Monday morning, who pass the patent of the colleges. As revealed by Europe 1 last week, the number of enrolled in the catch-up session in September is 10 times more than usual because of the postponement of ordeals ordered by Jean-Michel Blanquer during the heat wave.
"I know I'll get it because I only miss five points"
Like the other candidates, Basile has already made her return to high school. If the first fifteen days were a bit busy because he had to cumulate courses and revisions, he is rather serene. "I'm not that stressed, I know I'll have it because I only miss five points," he says at the microphone of Europe 1. A confidence that does not prevent the high school student to dread the history-geo test with "all these dates to learn", and the maths "because it's difficult". "I'm not scared, but I'm suspicious," he sums up.
If this session has an exceptional aspect due to the large number of candidates, no change has been made in the course of events: Monday, so it will be maths and French, and Tuesday science and history-geo. As for the results, they will be published at the end of September, but by then, Basil has already started his year "quietly".
