New Brunswick provincial assessments, 2026–27

Each student gets an individual report. Results for each school and district are published on the department’s Reports on Achievement.

If you don’t reach Appropriate Achievement in Grade 9, or had a temporary exemption, you can write it again in Grade 10, 11 or 12.

An exemption needs your Personalized Learning Plan and the approval of your parents, the principal, the district and the department. A temporary one moves you to the next sitting (for reasons from readiness to being away); a permanent one means you won’t write it. Students about to graduate can’t get a temporary exemption.

A student can be exempted when their Personalized Learning Plan says so, or after a serious illness, a bereavement or another event no one could plan for. Parents are always part of the decision.

Results are published by school, district and province, with summary results in the fall of 2027.

Barring exceptional circumstances, every student takes part. A student can be exempted when their Personalized Learning Plan says so, in the first stages of learning English, or after a serious illness, a bereavement or another event no one could plan for. Parents are always part of the decision.

Parents can see results online in monACCÈS once marking is done.

You can appeal a result: the school sends a written request with a $25 cheque by October 31, and two independent markers mark the test again. Families who can’t afford the fee can ask the school about an exception.

A make-up period is set aside for students absent at the official sitting. In a two-part exam, both parts are needed for a result. A student can be exempted when no accommodation fits, their French isn’t yet strong enough, or the exam wouldn’t fairly show what they’ve learned.

You get an overall result, Réussi or Non réussi, and Atteint or Non atteint for each skill. Parents can see results online in monACCÈS.

You can appeal your result: your school sends a written request with a $25 cheque by October 31, and two independent markers mark the test again. Families who can’t afford the fee can ask the school about an exception.

Passing is needed for the high school diploma. If you don’t pass in Grade 10, you can write it again in Grade 11 and in Grade 12.

A make-up period is set aside for students absent from one or both parts. A student can be exempted for one year, including for language reasons.
