Specifications

The Provincial examination represents 20% of the student's final letter grade and the classroom marks will represent 80%.

It is expected that there will be a difference between school marks and provincial examination marks for individual students. Some students perform better on classroom tests and others on provincial examinations. School assessment measures performance on all curricular outcomes, whereas provincial examinations may only evaluate performance on a sample of these outcomes.

Electronic devices, including dictionaries and pagers, are not permitted in the examination room.
