    • Multiple choice
    • Questions in sets
    • Numerical response
    • Written answers

    Everyday situations, from personal life and student jobs to society and the environment, each with questions. Choose answers, give short answers, and show the steps of longer answers that justify a decision. The math is Grade 8 level.

How it’s marked

  1. Non réussi
  2. Réussi

A computer marks the choice and short-answer questions, and markers mark your longer answers. You need Réussi to get your high school diploma; if you don't, you write it again in Grade 11, and Grade 12 if needed.

On the day

One sitting on the computer. Bring your calculator, standard or scientific, and your math journal; course notes, paper dictionaries, a highlighter, coloured pencils and a ruler are allowed. A paper workbook is given for scrap work, but only answers on the platform count.

Getting ready

3 official documents to practise with, and 3 tips.

Tips from the people who write it

  • The best preparation is the whole school year; more activities are on the Clic platform.
  • Try the public practice test, TCN: 25 questions in five everyday situations, with your calculator and math journal.
  • Back up your choices with calculations, and check that your answers make sense in the situation.

After the exam

Results

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

Re-marking

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.

Writing it again

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.

If you miss it

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.

From Fondements et gestion, Programme provincial d’évaluation des apprentissages (secteur francophone) (gnb.ca), read on October 27, 2026.
