To view your copy, you (or your legal representative if you are a minor) must make the request in writing to the examination center. The contact details are usually indicated on your summons.

You can consult your copy on site, without being able to win.

You will be able to verify that there was no hardware error such as, for example, a point count error or a transcription of the note between the copy and the transcript.

By contrast, you cannot claim a second correction of your copy, even if the score obtained on the exam is very different from those obtained during your schooling or training. Indeed, the examining board does not have to justify its decision, because it is sovereign.

You can request to view your copy during a 1 year delay from the publication of the results. Copies are destroyed after this time limit.

You must appeal within a period of 2 months following the date of notification of the note.
