Questions unit by unit: relations and functions, probability, financial math, design and measurement, and logical reasoning. Each unit mixes multiple choice (1 mark) with questions where you show your work.
How it’s marked
Your teachers mark it with the department's marking guide, and the department re-marks a random sample. The test counts for 20% of your final course mark; it has no pass mark of its own.
On the day
- Calculator
- Bring a graphing calculator, a tablet or a computer. Tools you used in class, such as a mortgage payment calculator, are allowed, but searching the Internet isn't.
- Provided
- Formula Sheet: Applied Mathematics and Terminology Sheet: Applied Mathematics
One paper test, and everyone gets 30 more minutes. Bring a pencil, an eraser, a ruler, one study sheet (8½ by 11 inches, both sides) and a graphing calculator, tablet or computer. Class notes and textbooks aren't allowed.
Getting ready
3 official documents to practise with, and 4 tips.

Tips from the people who write it
- When you use a TVM solver, write down every input: the number of payments, interest rate, present value, payment, future value, and payments and compounds per year. Printed output earns no marks.
- Each kind of communication error costs half a mark once: include units and dollar signs, round only at the end, and use whole units for materials and people.
- Bring a study sheet: one 8½ by 11 sheet, both sides, handwritten or typed.
- The formula and terminology sheets in the bulletin are the ones in your test booklet.
The mark you need
Your class mark counts for 80% of the final mark, the exam for 20%.
You need
50% on the exam
With 75% in class, your final mark lands between 60% (0 on the exam) and 80% (100% on it).
After the exam
- Results
Your school marks the test and gives you your result right after. Report cards show it apart from your course mark.
- Re-marking
A reread is up to your school division.
- Writing it again
You can rewrite at any later sitting once the course is done, enrolled or not. It’s free, there’s no limit, and your higher result becomes your official mark. Retaking the course doesn’t mean rewriting the test.
- If you miss it
Tests can’t be rescheduled. If you’re absent for illness, a death in the family or another crisis, your school sets your final grade and your report card shows “no mark” for the test. Absent without a reason, or refusing to write, gives 0% for the parts missed.
