French term or phrase: bénéfice des domaines
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

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."

Suggestion:

>
"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.

Explanation:
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.

Example sentence(s):

  • Plusieurs programmes permettent aux étudiants de choisir un domaine principal d’études ou une spécialisation plus tard dans le programme- ceci est particulièrement vrai pour les programmes de baccalauréat, dans lesquels un étudiant peut choisir u

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.
