Baccalauréat
The baccalauréat, or bac, is the national exam that ends the lycée and opens higher education. Lumi helps you keep the whole terminale programme in memory without last-minute cramming.
In short
The baccalauréat is taken at the end of terminale, in the general, technological or vocational track. It mixes final exams with continuous assessment. In the general track you meet philosophy, the grand oral, written specialty exams, and the French exam taken in première. It delivers the diploma that gives access to higher education, and applications run in parallel on Parcoursup.
What goes on your cards
For the bac, make cards for philosophy notions with an author to quote, major periods and dates in history, formulas in your specialties, theorems, biology diagrams and geography landmarks. Lumi has you recall this base by heart.
A study rhythm
Before the bac, count a few weeks and spread sessions instead of squeezing everything into the last week (Kornell, 2009). Do one short daily session on old chapters, plus a longer one on the weekend. Use mock exams as checkpoints to see what has faded. See Spaced repetition, how long to wait between two reviews.
