For each major area, you’ll find a summary and a list of the concepts that could be assessed.
Note: No Living World concepts will be assessed.
Earth and Space
Material World
Technological World
Graphic representation (isometry and perspective) and diagram drawing will also be assessed.

- Highlight important information in the question.
- Try to answer the question before reading the choices.
- In a multiple-choice question, the wrong answers are generally the results you get by making classic errors, such as incorrectly isolating the variable or forgetting a calculation step.
- Example: Calculating useful energy instead of dissipated energy.
- Annotate the graphs and diagrams.
- Annotate the statements, indicating whether they are true or false.
- Even if one of the statements seems right, check all the statements in the question.
- Eliminate the possible answers by crossing them out or adding an X in the margin.
- Check that you’ve answered all the questions.
- Write complete sentences.
- Uses appropriate scientific vocabulary.
- Example: Use the terms upstream and downstream for a question about watersheds.
- Show your work (mathematical process).
- When a question requires a mathematical process, start by identifying the data and associating them with the corresponding variables. Next, convert the data if necessary (e.g., convert minutes to seconds), then determine which formula to use.
- Reread the question to make sure you’ve answered it correctly.
- Example: Answering with the amount of energy consumed instead of identifying the appliance that consumes the least energy.
- Watch the entire video at least once before reading the questions.
- Pay attention to the names of the parts identified in the object’s drawings.
- Write complete sentences.
- Use appropriate technological vocabulary.
- To describe the interaction between the components, write your answer naming the components in the same order as in the question.
- The disassembling of the technical object can give you clues about the characteristics of the links.
- A link always has 4 out of 8 characteristics.

During the exam, you are allowed to use the list of formulas and quantities as well as the periodic table of elements. These tools will be provided to you and can be found in the Reference Document.
Note: The Reference Document will also include diagrams of the technical object to be analyzed (for part C).
The following quiz has 15 multiple-choice questions.
The following quiz has:
- 5 constructed-response questions;
- the list of formulas and quantities;
- the answer key.
The following links lead to technological objects for analysis. For each object, you’ll find a video animation, 2D drawings and a 5-question quiz
