The Pan-Canadian Assessment Program (PCAP) measures the knowledge and skills of Grade 8/Secondary II students in reading, mathematics, and science.
For more information regarding the PCAP Assessment Framework and results from past cycles see https://cmec.ca/240/Pan-Canadian_Assessment_Program_(PCAP).html
Tips from other participating schools
Before the assessment:
- Install the LockDown Environment on all devices at least 1 week before the assessment.
- Plan the assessment schedule thoughtfully. The cognitive assessment (Part 2A and Part 2B) must be completed on the same day.
On assessment day:
- Allow yourself at least 45 minutes to set up the assessment room and open the LockDown Environment on each device.
- It is recommended to have an IT specialist on site.
- If possible, have extra devices in the room that are fully charged and have the LockDown Environment installed.
