Which of the following best describes how EQAO uses field-test questions?

What is the significance of EQAO's 4-level achievement chart in the context of assessment scoring?
Answer: It is a provincial framework describing degrees of achievement that aligns with Ontario curriculum expectations
The 4-level achievement chart is embedded in Ontario's curriculum policy documents and provides the common language EQAO uses to describe levels of student performance.
A Grade 10 student fails the OSSLT. What pathway is available to demonstrate literacy competency for graduation?
Answer: The student may retake the OSSLT in subsequent administrations or take the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Course (OSSLC)
Students who do not succeed on the OSSLT can retake it or successfully complete the OSSLC (ENG4C), which fulfills the literacy graduation requirement.
How does EQAO report school-level results to the public?
Answer: Aggregated school results are published on the EQAO website and in school board report cards to the public
EQAO publicly releases school-level aggregate results on its website, enabling communities, parents, and researchers to review and compare performance across schools and boards.
During the EQAO administration window, which of the following instructional activities is explicitly prohibited?
Answer: Reviewing previously taught concepts with students before they write their session
