Quebec ministry exams, 2026–27

After marking, the Ministry mails you your achievement record, and the results are on your Online Academic Record. Your school mark may be moderated: moved up or down by comparing your group’s school marks with its exam results. If your exam mark is higher than your moderated school mark, only the exam mark counts.

You can ask for a review within six months of receiving your achievement record, through the person in charge of exams at your school, for a fee. A lower result never replaces your original mark.

If you fail, or want a better mark, your school may let you retake it at the January, June or August session; you show you’ve worked on it first. Your final mark uses your best result.

Without a valid reason, ABS goes on your record and you can write at another session. Valid reasons: a serious illness or accident with a medical note, the death of a close relative, a court summons, or an important event approved in advance. Then you write at a later date, or, if that’s impossible, your moderated school mark can stand in (only if it’s a pass and you attended at least 120 class days; never for the August session).

Your school marks it, and the result is part of your final mark for the year.

With a valid reason (a serious illness or accident with a medical note, the death of a close relative, a court summons), your final mark is worked out from your three terms. Without one, your school’s own rules apply.
