Candidates are forbidden, on pain of exclusion, to have printed or handwritten documents with them. However, they may consult codes or compendia of laws, decrees and circulars; the latter may include references to legislative or regulatory texts as well as articles of doctrine or case law decisions.
Any fraud or attempted fraud in any of the written tests will result in immediate exclusion from the examination, pronounced without delay and without appeal. Without prejudice to disciplinary sanctions, the candidate may not be allowed to sit the examination in subsequent years.
