The French tests consist of two group sequences of 12 and 13 minutes and an individual reading sequence of two times 1 minute. The questions will be used to gauge mastery of reading, writing and understanding of oral and written language. In math, students will have questions on numbers, mental calculation, online calculation, problem solving and observation of geometric figures. Click here to learn more about the CE1 assessments.
A CE2
The CE2 assessments include 6 sequences: 4 in French and 2 in math. In French, students will have to participate in three group sequences of 13, 14 and 18 minutes and an individual reading sequence of 1 minute. In math, two sequences of 17 and 19 minutes are planned. The assessments will focus on reading proficiency, spelling, grammar, vocabulary and understanding of oral and written language.

Not 6e
In middle school in 6th grade, the tests always concern French and maths. In French, there is a 1-hour group session and a 1-minute individual test. The questions will focus on oral comprehension, written comprehension, language study and reading aloud. In maths, the test lasts 1 hour and will include questions on numbers and calculations, quantities and measurements, space and geometry. These tests are all the more important since, starting this school year, classes will be separated into “needs groups” in French and maths to allow teachers and students to work in small groups.
