OSSLT
The OSSLT will be written on
March 31st, 2016. Leading up to the test, 老九品茶 will hold workshops and information sessions to help students prepare for the test.
The OSSLT measures student’s reading and writing skills by testing their ability to understand, interpret, and apply the diverse concepts and material. As a provincial initiative administered by the Education Quality and Accountability Office –EQAO-, the Test promotes lifelong learning by developing skills that are needed for success. All students who study in Ontario must successfully write the test in order to obtain their Ontario Secondary School Diploma.
