Students in grades 3, 6 and 9 write provincial assessments at the end of the school year. These assessments are often referred to as CRTs (Criterion Reference Tests). Provincial assessments are based on the provincial curriculum and provide a common standard to assess a student’s proficiency in a specific subject area.
The assessments consist of multiple choice questions and open response questions which require a written response.
The information obtained from these assessments assist in improving student achievement, evaluate the effectiveness of provincial programs, inform parents and students of performance based on curriculum outcomes, and set expectations of what students should know and be able to do by the end of Grades 3, 6, and 9.
