Baccalaureate Preparation — All Streams

This website offers a complete pedagogical reorganization of the English programme for the Moroccan Baccalaureate. Ten thematic units covering comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, communicative functions, writing and language quizzes, alongside a rigorous methodology aligned with the official National Exam framework 2025.

About the National English Exam

The National English Exam of the Moroccan Baccalaureate is a written test of 3 hours, marked out of 40 points and divided into three sections: Reading Comprehension (15 pts), Language (15 pts), and Writing (10 pts). The same paper is given to all streams, though specific versions exist for Letters, Social Sciences, Science & Technology, and Economics.

The programme is organised around ten thematic units covering current social, cultural, scientific and ethical issues. Each unit develops the four skills (reading, writing, listening, speaking) through a comprehension text, a vocabulary list, a grammar point, communicative functions, and a writing genre.
