Exam Specifications

Ministry of Education Exam Specifications describe how provincially examinable subjects will be tested. Appendices contain the most recent Scoring Guides. Specifications for Grade 10 and 11 examinations may also include sample items and a sample examination.

Graduation Program Exam Rewrites

If you are enrolled in the 2004 80-credit program, you may rewrite a provincial exam once within the 12-month period following the first attempt at the examination. The Ministry will use whichever exam result is higher and blend it with your school mark.

Retaking a Course

If you retake a course and you are satisfied with your previous exam mark, you do not have to rewrite the provincial exam (providing you retake the course within twelve months of writing the exam for the first time).

Time Limit to Write the Exam

Students must write the Graduation Program Examination or Provincial Exam within three years of completing a course and of the school percentage being reported to the Ministry. If the exam is not written within three years, the student must retake the course in order to have a valid school percentage to blend with the Graduation Program Examination result.

Student Secure Web Access to Provincial Exam Marks

The Ministry provides online access to school marks and provincial examinations results for students who are currently enrolled in school and have written a provincial examination.
