Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT)
Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT)
Successful completion of the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT) is a graduation requirement for all high school students in Ontario. The Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT) measures whether students are meeting the minimum standard for literacy across all subjects. The Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) is employing a computer-based online OSSLT to eligible students across the province. The assessment must be completed in person at the student’s school on a school board owned device.
Below is a list of resources for students to access in preparation for the OSSLT:
