How will the test be scored? Students who write the test but do not succeed must re-take the test and complete it successfully in order to qualify for a secondary school diploma. There is no limit to the number of times the test may be re-taken. The OSSLT is not tied to a particular subject and does not count towards any particular course grade.

EQAO is opposed to the ranking of schools or school boards. Rankings tell us nothing about why results are high or low. They invite simplistic and misleading comparisons that ignore the particular circumstances affecting achievement in each school.

Ranking tends to distract people from addressing the critical issue of how to improve learning for all students. Parents, teachers, and members of the public may not see the test, nor will they be allowed to view the work of any individual student.

EQAO does make sample questions from previous tests available for viewing. These can be found on the EQAO web site. What supports will be available to students during the testing? On this page.
