Collège
Information on the Entrance Test in English
There is a written and an oral test
- Aquarelle Paddy Salmon-mai 2008
For Collège classes
1. The candidate will have 1 hour and a half for the written test which comprises :
- A composition : 10 marks
- A language section with grammar and vocabulary exercises (gap filling, correct the mistakes, sentence conversion .......) : 5 marks
- A reading comprehension based on a History-Geography text with between 5 and 10 questions to answer. This exercice is designed to test the pupil’s level of comprehension and NOT to test his knowledge of History-Geography : 5 marks
Written test total 20 marks
2. The oral test lasts about 15 minutes. 40 marks for 6ème candidates and 20 marks for 5ème-3ème candidates
| Sample 6ème entrance test. Candidates must be fluent speakers of English. Exemple de sujet d’entrée oral et écrit en 6ème. Les élèves doivent déjà parler couramment anglais |
- Candidates will be asked to read a text aloud and then they will be asked questions on this text.
- They will then be engaged in general conversation and/or a discussion arising from the text.
How to help candidates to prepare for the test :
- Read with them regularly
- Encourage them to read aloud for you on a regular basis
- Speak English with them as often as possible
- Have them watch films in English as often as possible
- Practise dictations to help them write and spell correctly
Suggested workbooks to help with spelling and grammar :
Oxford Spelling Workbook (levels 1 -5) Grammar 3 - Jennifer Seidl (Oxford)
For Lycée classes
- The Written counts for 40 and the Oral counts for 20
- The Written is based, as for the Collège, on a Composition, on Language Exercises (of roughly Cambridge First Certificate/Advanced level), and a History-Geography comprehension.
- The Oral is similar in format to the Oral described above.
