The Education Quality and Accountability Office's (EQAO) province-wide assessments are based directly on the provincial curriculum. They reinforce and assess the knowledge and skills students have been learning all year and give parents and guardians valuable information about the strengths and areas for improvement in students' learning.

How EQAO assessments support students, parents and guardians

Parents, guardians and educators can use this data, along with information on the student's performance in the classroom, to determine pathways to student success. In this way, parents and guardians can support teachers and schools in planning for their child's success in learning.

Annual parent and guardian bulletins

EQAO releases parent and guardian bulletins each year, outlining:

  • The value of the assessments
  • What is being tested
  • Which students take the test
  • When and where the tests are given
  • How long the tests take
  • How students can prepare
  • How to access results

Our educators will provide you with these bulletins prior to your student taking an EQAO assessment.

Grade 3 primary division assessment

Learn more about the Grade 3 Assessment of Reading, Writing and Mathematics for the primary division. The assessment tests the skills in these subjects that students are expected to have learned by the end of Grade 3.

Grade 6 junior division assessment

Learn more about the Grade 6 Assessment of Reading, Writing and Mathematics for the junior division. The assessment tests the skills in these subjects that students are expected to have learned by the end of Grade 6.

Grade 9 math assessment

Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test

Learn more about the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT). The OSSLT, taken in Grade 10, measures whether students are meeting the minimum standard for literacy across all subjects up to the end of Grade 9. Successful completion of the test is one of the requirements for a student's Ontario Secondary School Diploma.
