THE SUB-RULES THAT (I THINK) COVER EVERYTHING:1. No 2h subject may be taken as a written exam (& no Complementary Course anywhere)

2. No subject other than L1, L2 and Maths may appear twice

L1 (or L1 App)

L2 (or L2 App)

3h or 5h Maths

4h Option

4h Option

L1 (or L1 App)

L2 (or L2 App)or Hist or Geog

8p Math ou (2P Bio or 2P Philoor 4P option with limits)

What you need to know …Students who have taken Appro in LI must do

the oral for this course and not for the LI course.If students who have taken L2 Appro choose to

take it as an oral, they cannot take L2 normal as the oral exam.

If a student only chooses TWO 4 hour options. BOTH must be taken as a written exam.

You are, therefore, strongly recommended to take THREE 4 hour options.

Students should make sure that their choices permit them to take FIVE (5) written exams, and THREE (3) oral exams for their finalBAC.
