Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test

The Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT) is a standardized assessment administered to Grade 10 students in Ontario. It measures essential reading and writing skills required for effective communication and academic success. The test includes tasks like reading passages and answering questions, as well as writing exercises. Passing the OSSLT is a graduation requirement, demonstrating students’ literacy competencies. It is designed to ensure students have the fundamental skills needed for post-secondary education, employment, and active citizenship. The test is typically scheduled once a year and can be retaken if students do not pass initially.
