Students must take up to four tests throughout their primary school years:

 

 


At the end of Grade 3, the Grade Three Diagnostic Tests in Mathematics and Language Arts (including writing) are given.

The Mathematics test assesses students’ skills in using whole or fractional numbers; reading such instruments as the clock, thermometer and ruler; identifying geometric figures such as triangles, squares and polygons, and understanding information given in a simple graph or table.

The Language Arts test assesses students’ ability to read and understand simple stories, factual texts, maps and other documents as well as their ability to understand and use capital letters and punctuation marks in standard English.
