Graduation Assessment Information

BC Graduation Assessments are mandatory provincial assessments for students in British Columbia, required for graduation (Dogwood Diploma). They include Grade 10 Numeracy, Grade 10 Literacy, and Grade 12 Literacy assessments, focusing on applying skills rather than specific course content. They are not tied to specific courses and are reported on a 1-4 proficiency scale.
