The Superior Council of the School being assembled, the different Tables furnished by the Professors and by the Officers of the Staff, as well as those in which they are summed up, are collated, and the list of classifications for each division and for each arm is fixed separately, with the definitive numbers representing the credits. These classified lists indicate for each arm the new rank of the Students, their rank at admission to the School of Application and of passage to the first division, the sum of the values for the works executed by them, and all the elements which would tend to enable a proper judgment to be formed of their merits and conduct. The Superior Council adds to it, if there be any necessity for it, notes, exposing the grounds which have contributed to the principal alterations in the relative position of the Student, and points out those whose credit is less than 7, as well as those who by their bad conduct deserve to become the object of exceptional measures. _Examination for Leaving._ Each year the General commanding the School determines by lot, at least one month in advance, the order in which the examinations for the promotions in the Artillery and Engineers are to take place. The Students belonging to the same arm can change among themselves, but eight days after the lots have been drawn the list of the order of examination is definitely closed.

The General commanding the School places before the General of Division, President of the Jury of Examination, the following:-- 1st. The division of the subjects between the three examinations. 2nd. The order of examination of the Arms, and of the students of each Arm. 3rd. The provisional classification of the students of the first division made by the Superior Council. 4th. The particular reports relating to each student made by the General commanding the School. 5th. The list of the propositions made by the Superior Council and the proceedings of the sitting at which it was agreed to. 6th. The classification of the Students of the second Division. 7th. Tables of questions established for each course. 8th. The abstracts of the sittings of the Superior Council held since the last examination. The Student Sub-lieutenants are successively examined in all the branches composing the theoretical and practical instruction of the School. The theoretical knowledge is grouped in three series, each of which is the object of a particular trial. The drill and practice are executed in the presence of the Jury, who cause the command to be given to the Sub-lieutenant, in order to satisfy themselves of the amount of their instruction, and to assign marks of merit to them individually. The subjects of the three examinations are divided in the following manner:
