How to Prepare for EQAO and the Final Exam

Remember: Term 70%, EQAO 10%, Exam 20%

Gather together all of your toolkits and unit tests. Go through them and figure out what topics you most need to review. Start by going back in the unit outlines on the course website and re-doing homework questions on those topics.

Examine the topics (on the back of this page) and learning goals (on course website and posted in classroom) for each unit and decide which ones you are confident with and which ones need review. Again, go back and re-do homework questions on the topics you need to review.

3. Do practice EQAO tests. Go to

to find old EQAO tests to practice from. There are solutions there as well. On the right hand side there are links to previous years.

4. Complete these textbook questions for review:
