January exams (midyear)
In high school, most schools hold midyear exams in January. Each school sets its own dates: check the school calendar or its online portal.
Some students also write the January ministry session (semester schools, retakes): Secondary 4 history on January 15, science on January 20 and math on January 21, 2027. The Secondary 5 French writing exam for that session is on December 3, 2026. At CEGEP, fall finals are in December.
Week by week
All exams
Secondary 5 math
There is no ministry exam for Secondary 5 math in the official 2026-2027 schedule: the final exam is written by the school or the school service centre. The mark still matters a lot for CEGEP admission.
Sec 5 French writing
An open letter of about 500 words, 3 hours 15 minutes to write it, criteria known in advance. It is the most feared exam of high school, and one of the most predictable.
Secondary 4 science
The theory part of the Science and Technology (ST) or Applied Science and Technology (AST) exam takes 3 hours. Lots of topics, but a simple way to review them.
Secondary 4 history
The History of Québec and Canada exam takes 3 hours, with a file of documents. Dates matter, but the way the student reads the documents is what earns the mark.
Grade 6
The first ministry exams come in June, in language and math. They count for 20% of the competencies assessed. The goal: arrive confident, not worn out.
CEGEP finals
At CEGEP, a final exam can be a big part of the grade, and the grade affects the R score. Dates change from one CEGEP to the next: here is where to find them and how to get ready.
