Interpretive Notes
Students seeking credit in 40S Language Arts (English and French), and mathematics (Essential, Applied, and Pre-Calculus Mathematics) courses write Grade 12 provincial tests at the end of each semester. These tests count for 20 per cent of students’ final course grades and reflect the learning outcomes described in the respective curricula.
- Many student factors have an impact on choices about the courses they take and about their performance on provincial tests. Schools support the learning, growth and well-being of students in many ways beyond those that can be measured by a test. For these reasons, the quality of the schools in a school division cannot be determined by comparing test results.
- A student’s success in Grade 12 depends to a large degree on their learning in earlier grades. Therefore, the quality of teaching at Grade 12 cannot be determined by comparing test results.
