bénéfice des domaines

French to English Other Education / Pedagogy relevé de notes
Hi,
I am currently translating a transcript for the "brevet d'études professionnelles" and at the bottom of the page I have the following sentence:
"le candidat refusé peut conserver pendant 5 ans à compter du la session d'obtention le bénéfice des domaines et/ou des épreuves constitutives du domaine professionnel"
I am confused about what this "bénéfice" is?
Thanks for your help
Joanna

Thanks Adrian and Philippe for your insight and suggestions! I forgot my country residence was posted with my picture and should have specified that this translation is for Australia and not Canada :(

Re: "I am confused about what this "bénéfice" is?"

Avantage que procure une personne ou une chose.
https://www.cnrtl.fr/definition/bénéfice

In other words, bénéfice means here that students can keep (conserver) for later the rights granted by marks obtained in a previous exam session.

These Canadian sources use "carry forward" in a similar context:

"Marks from a previous paper, on which a grade of 60 marks (60%) or more was achieved, may carry that mark forward to this year."
https://cpata-cabamc.ca/en/become-an-agent/scoring-results-a...
(The French version says reporter, which to me means the same as conserver le bénéfice de)

"If you fail a first-year Science course but complete all of the laboratory work and obtain a passing grade in the lab, you may apply for a carry-forward using the Application for a Laboratory Carry-Forward Form."

"the candidate... may carry forward over a 5-year period from... the marks/results achieved/awarded in..." ?

(Note: this is an extended version of my discussion post yesterday, which I decided to turn into a "proper" answer since there has been no other suggestion yet.)

Re Adrian's comment on my missing an aspect of the question.

I'm not aware that I did - that aspect is covered by "course marks" in my mind (what is a course, if not a group of subjects?) and my explanation notes. But I'm happy to replace "course" by "subject" if that makes it more complete/clear.

In any case, I meant to answer Joanna's specific question about bénéfice in this context ("I am confused about what this "bénéfice" is?"). Her question doesn't refer to any "professional" or "general" subject.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Adrian MM. : Excuse me, Philippe, (I will not say sorry, even though in England) but you cannot just blithely ignore the crucial 'domaines' aspect.

credit for academic-cum-vocational subject-areas

Don't forget the domaines ! For a change, doesn't mean 'estates', but *overlapping* academic and prof. subject-areas e.g. my UK-qualified chartered-accountant school friend in Vancouver, BC, requalified in the allied area (domaine) of insolvency practice.

Tried in vain to post this 2 hours ago.

Lorsqu’un candidat échoue au baccalauréat général et technologique et souhaite se représenter à l’examen, il peut bénéficier de la conservation de certaines des notes qu’il a obtenues lors de sa première passation, et ainsi être dispensé d’être à nouveau évalué dans les enseignements concernés. Selon qu’il s’agit de notes d’épreuves terminales ou de notes relevant du contrôle continu, les règles relatives à cette conservation diffèrent.
