The candidates are classified according to their results in a ranked list. The numbers 1 to 38, for example, be taken ( admis ), all other candidates from number 39 not. Who the written part of the Agrégation there twice without to pass the oral examination, is considered bi- admissible. For those who already have the CAPES, this means that they rise in the salary class something.
