The successful completion of the OSSLT or the OSSLC is a requirement for a high school diploma.

Prepare
How should a student prepare?

  1. For the actual test day, get a good night's sleep and eat a healthy breakfast.
  2. You are already preparing by attending classes and completing assignments. The test only evaluates skills that are part of the regular curriculum.
  3. Sign out a Reading and Writing Achievement CD, available in the library. This software can be installed on a Mac or an IBM computer and, once installed, you no longer need the CD. It is an excellent interactive tutorial.
  4. Read materials on the EQAO website.
  5. Get into the Reading habit now. Read whenever you can, at least 15 minutes a day. Read all sorts of material such as the back of cereal boxes when you're eating breakfast. The research proves that reading enhances literacy skills.
  6. Try the samples on the Independent learning site. Click here.
