Wondering if any mums in France know what it's best to
do if your child becomes ill half way through the Bac exams?

Start by documenting it with a certificat medical then speak to the school/academie about registering for session de rattrapage.
Poor thing!

thanks for the advice, seems better this evening after sleeping all afternoon, hopefully it was just the heat and not drinking enough during the 4 hour exam this morning! Fingers crossed there will be no need for the medical cert and all will be ok tomorrow.

I spoke to one of our teachers about this (maternelle not lycée but her daughter was doing the bac) apparently your need to be really bad - ie hospitalised - before they will take illness into account. I don't know how true that is though.

thanks for help and good wishes, think it was the heat/dehydration as thankfully all went well yesterday.
