To be awarded a diploma, pupils must acquire the seven key competencies of the "Common Core of Knowledge and Skills"<ref>[http://media.eduscol.education.fr/file/dossiers/50/3/enseignement_scolaire_VA_135503.pdf School Education in France], p. 7</ref> and score a minimum of 400 points (out of 800).<ref>[https://www.education.gouv.fr/diplome-national-du-brevet-2021-323735 Diplôme national du brevet 2021]</ref> These points are awarded via tests in each subject except in history-geography-civics (continuous assessment: ''contrôle continu'') and in a final exam at the end of 3<sup>e</sup>. Also starting from 2008, pupils must acquire the [[Common European Framework of Reference for Languages|A2]] level of the [[Common European Framework of Reference for Languages]] in a foreign language (English, German, Spanish, Italian...). In other countries, primarily the UK, [[United States]], [[Canada]], and several ex-[[Yugoslavia|Yugoslav]] and [[Asia]]n countries, the equivalent period covered by the diploma is [[middle school]].

Over the course of the ninth grade, at the end of each unit of a course, all pupils take a test graded out of twenty points.{{clarify|they skip 19? Random choice? for 20 points?|date=December 2011}} At the end of each trimester the average mark from each subject is calculated as well as a general average (the average of all the subjects' averages).<ref>[http://internationallessingschool.com ILS]</ref>
Up until 2007, the averages from the two school years (six trimesters) from the start of the ''quatrième'' (eighth grade) to the end of the ninth grade were counted towards the final result. From 2007 onwards, only the marks from the ninth grade are used.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.education.gouv.fr/bo/2006/26/MENE0601428A.htm|title = Bulletin officiel n° 26 du 29 juin 2006}}</ref> A pupil may know they have a good enough average to pass the Brevet before sitting for the exams. However, students may not skip the exams as that would mean automatic disqualification.
