Tips from the people who write it
- It's about numeracy in real-world situations, not recalling formulas from a math course.
- Finish each common section before its choice section: once you pick an option, it can't be changed.
- Do the official online sample to learn question types such as drag-and-drop matching and clicking on a spot.
- The written answers go on paper, so practise showing your number reasoning in writing.
- You may bring your own calculator, even a graphing one, but not one with CAS, wireless, a camera or stored notes.
After the exam
- Results
Your results are posted to the StudentTranscripts Service; parents get them through the school. Results are out by:
- November 2026by December 18, 2026
- January 2027by March 22, 2027
- April 2027by May 31, 2027
- June 2027by July 30, 2027
- Re-marking
With your principal, you can ask to see your marked assessment, up to a year after the session.
- Writing it again
You can write each assessment up to three times before you graduate: the first try and two rewrites, at any session from Grade 10 to 12, never twice in one session. Your best result goes on your transcript. Registering and not writing doesn’t use a try.
- If you miss it
If sudden illness, an injury or an emergency gets in the way, your school first looks at supports, then at a later session. An exemption (aegrotat standing, shown as AEG on the transcript) is a last resort for exceptional cases; ongoing conditions don’t qualify.
