The preparation for these entrance examinations [SL1] allowing access to post-baccalaureate engineering schools will be composed of 2 mathematics sessions and 2 physics-chemistry sessions that will take place in April. The purpose of these sessions will be to familiarise students with the types of questions asked in the competitive exam, and to make them adopt an effective and rewarding method.

Note : Registration for this module is not equivalent to registration for the competitive exam. Registration is something that you have to do yourself.

This competitive exam allows you to join 14 of the leading post-baccalaureate business schools.

Analysis-Synthesis: It consists in working on the methodology of the analysis-synthesis of documents which requires specific skills, since you need to synthesize the contents of about forty pages in 3h… Students are first introduced to the approach for this exercise, then they practice writing a synthesis, after which they go through the mistakes they made with the trainer.

Digital logic: These sessions will make you aware of the expectations of this paper and become familiar with the exercises for the best results.

English: to become familiar with the type of test to be taken during the competitive exam.

Registration for this module is not equivalent to registration for the competitive exam, which is something that you have to do yourself on Parcoursup end of January.

The competitive exam will take place on the 13th of April 2020. The IFS is an examination centre.

This module is for students in Première and Terminale who want to better understand the news by bringing together history, geography, geopolitical analysis and economics, and this way better position themselves in the world around them. We will focus on conflicts, global power struggles, but also on current economic issues. This module should encourage students to be more attentive to news and to read newspapers, by giving them the keys of understanding they were missing. Most schools / universities expect their future students to be curious, open to the world, and they often check it during admission interviews. It is therefore essential, both for personal purposes and to meet the expectations of these institutions, to be attentive to current affairs. External speakers may be asked join to shed some expert light on certain issues.

1 training session, 1 interview simulation.

This module is intended for students in Terminale and Première who know that they will have to undergo the interview test to enter the school of their choice, or who would like to improve their ability to react during interviews and to get a better direction in terms of their orientation project by confronting themselves to questions about their motivations and the coherence of their choices. All students should follow this very informative exercise that requires personal preparation to achieve better self-knowledge. The first training session will present the principles of an interview,  in the second session students will be put in small groups, before doing their simulation interview before the jury.

5 sessions.

This module is for those who love History classes and/or prepare the written entrance tests to Sciences Po Bordeaux or Grenoble. Those are difficult to prepare on your own. The thematics in this module will complement those studied in class.

5 sessions.

This module is for the curious minds, eager to enrich their knowledge or prepare for interviews such as Questions contemporaines of Sciences-Po. The speakers are teachers of literature, philosophy, history and sociology.
Thematics : fear in Literature, the Revolutions in philosophy, and the use of fear in politics.

The transition to the preparatory class (MPSI/PCSI)  can constitute a major challenge for students. Indeed, there is a gap between the level of mathematics at the baccalaureat and the level expected of them in the first year of preparatory class, also called “Maths Sup”. The goal of this training is to provide students with the tools to approach this transition as smoothly as possible. The training will consist of six sessions of two hours each. It will aim to :

– Deepen some of the key knowledge of Terminale, notably through solving more difficult math problems than those seen in class.

– Provide general methodological advice (highlight the importance of writing, demonstrations, work methods and  time management).

– Introduce some elements of the Maths Sup program.

5 sessions 

This module will introduce you to 5 different themes covered in the first year of the preparatory classes PCSI/MPSI/PTSI, as well as scientific universities. Each session will be based on a lecture, practice problems and practical experimentation. It will allow you to understand the pace of a session in a preparatory class as well as the expected requirements.

Prerequisite:  you have to be a student in the Terminale with a specialization in physics and chemistry.

4 sessions 

This biology module is intended for Terminale students wishing to familiarize themselves with the first notions of biology covered in the BCPST preparatory class or in the PASS and LAS (medicine) competitive entrance exams. The objective is to allow students to have a foretaste of the curriculum of preparatory classes and to familiarise themselves with key notions in biology as a way to get a headstart in their prépa journey.

2 sessions 

This module is composed of 2 sessions and is intended for students of the Terminale specializing in SVT who wish to familiarize themselves with the concepts studied in the BCPST preparatory class. The objective is to allow students to have a foretaste of the curriculum of preparatory classes, and to transition with more confidence to  their preparatory class having already worked on some key notions of the geology program.

Per session

It is about accompanying high school students in Terminale on an ad hoc basis, in facing the difficulties that they experience in their student “profession”. The sessions enable them to complete their subject knowledge by helping them to develop on a personal level and to transforming obstacles into resources.

When faced with doubts, loss of confidence, lack of self-esteem, fears, lack of general organisation, too much pressure, difficulties to make orientation choices, demotivation, students need to be given direction. Often, 4 sessions can unblock “problem” situations. The procedure is an individual and personal, it is up to the student to make this choice and to be in touch directly with Ms. Chomienne.
