Situations about the living and non-living world, then questions: multiple choice, matching, a word or number, and written explanations, justifications or investigation plans.
How it’s marked
- Level 1
- Level 2
- Level 3
- Level 4
A computer marks the choice and short-answer questions, and markers at a provincial scoring session mark your explanations. There's no pass mark: you get a level from 1 to 4 for each area and skill.
On the day

Official practice
Tips from the people who write it
- Try the public practice test, Sciences 8: most students finish it in 35 to 40 minutes, and its audio question needs headphones.
- An investigation plan must test the hypothesis, list the materials and control at least one variable.
- Most of the exam is inquiry: reading data, finding trends and judging hypotheses.
After the exam
- Results
Parents can see results online in monACCÈS once marking is done.
- Re-marking
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.
- If you miss it
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.
From Fondements et gestion, Programme provincial d’évaluation des apprentissages (secteur francophone) (gnb.ca), read on October 27, 2026.
