a high school diploma. |
| Prepare
How should a student prepare?
- For the actual test day, get a good night's sleep and eat a
healthy breakfast.
- You are already preparing by attending classes and completing
assignments. The test only evaluates skills that are part of the
regular curriculum. In addition, at Cawthra, all grade 10's complete a practice literacy test at least one month before the live test. We also prepare you for the major writing tasks in grade 9 Geography by embedding two activities for the Opinion Piece and two activities for the News Report.
- If you want additional practice, click the Reading and Writing Achievement icon on a school computer. This application contains excellent support for the OSSLT.
- Read materials on the EQAO website.
- 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.
