The material organisation of the technical examination tests, which take place in one or more centres, is provided by the military personnel directorate of the national gendarmerie.
During the tests, candidates may only have access to:
codes (which may be annotated by the publisher, but not commented on);
printouts of the Official Journal (not commented on);
Candidates are prohibited under penalty of exclusion:
to hold printed or handwritten documents other than those referred to in the preceding paragraphs;
to use codes or printouts of the Official Journal highlighted, underlined, annotated or with tabs, even if blank.
Any fraud or attempted fraud in any of the tests will result in a report being drawn up by the invigilator and may lead to the candidate’s exclusion by the chair of the jury and, where appropriate, to the candidate being banned from taking the examination in subsequent years.
The envelope containing each composition subject is opened, in the presence of the candidates, at the beginning of the session assigned to the test.
Papers will be written solely on sheets of paper provided by the Gendarmerie Nationale’s military personnel department.
