Secondary IVWhat is preparatory support?
A 10-hour individual preparatory support package, designed to help students review priority concepts, ask their questions, and prepare for the retake according to their availability. It is not a full course, nor a guaranteed official preparation: it is individual support focused on the exam retake. This option will be offered once registration opens.
A flexible option for students with busy schedules
Is your child working, involved in activities, or unable to commit to a full course on a fixed schedule? Preparatory support (offered with registration once it opens) will let them prepare for the exam with a tutor, based on their needs and availability.
- Ideal for students who work
- Ideal for students with limited availability
- Targeted support, not a full course
Why choose preparatory support?
Registering for the retake lets the student sit the exam. But when a student has already failed once, targeted preparation can make a real difference.
Frequently asked questions about Ministry exam retakes
Can a Ministry exam retake be done online in Québec?
No. Whether with School Success Academy or any other organization, a Ministry exam retake must take place in person, at a recognized service point, in accordance with the requirements of the Ministère de l'Éducation du Québec.
