Secondary 5 math: the year that opens CEGEP doors.
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.

|---|---|---|---|
| Final exam set by the school or school service centre | Dates to be confirmedsee the official page |
Dates come from the Ministère de l'Éducation's official schedule (updated August 28, 2026) or from each CEGEP's calendar. The school sets the time and room: always confirm with the school.
What the exam covers
The date of the Secondary 5 math final exam is to be confirmed by your school. It is usually in the June exam calendar the school publishes in the spring. The January midyear exam is also set by the school.
CEGEPs look at Secondary 5 results, and many programs require Secondary 5 TS or SN math. A good mark in June matters for what comes next, even without a ministry exam.
TS 5
Functions and modelling, trigonometry, vectors and conics, with many technical contexts.
CST 5
Optimization, voting procedures, conditional probability, graphs, equivalent figures and financial math.
Reasoning
As in Secondary 4, the work and the justification count as much as the answer.

Is there a ministry exam for Secondary 5 math?
The official 2026-2027 ministry exam schedule does not include Secondary 5 math. The final exam is written by the school or the school service centre, so the dates are to be confirmed with the school.
Why does this mark matter?
CEGEPs look at Secondary 5 results for admission, and many programs require Secondary 5 TS or SN math.
When should my child start reviewing for June?
Six weeks before the exam, with two sessions a week, is a realistic pace. For the January exam, start at the end of November.
Can you help with CST, TS and SN?
