• Grade 6

Some students are better at writing tests and quizzes than others.

Many children are quite anxious when faced with formal testing. Possible results of such anxiety are that they may rush through the test, misread some of the questions, and commit “careless errors.” Thus their score may reflect “how well or poorly they managed the test” more than “how well they knew the material being tested.”

The strategies in our support package will level the playing field, so that EQAO scores will more reliably reflect your child’s knowledge. In the end, parents, schools and school boards will be able to make better decisions about how to enhance student learning.
