Here are some specifics about the exam:
It must be written in Grade 10 for the first attempt.
It can be written up to three times, students are given a RM (requirements met) mark when they successfully complete the assessment.
It is entered as a separate line on a student’s transcript, not tied to any course in specific.
It is required for graduation.
It is marked on a rubric scale.
The Ministry of Education (MoE) typically gives a window of a few days in which schools can schedule Provincial Assessments.
Provincial assessments are scheduled for two hours but all students are allowed an additional third hour is they need it. If a student is entitled to additional time, it is added beyond the third hour.
The MoE does not specify a specific start time. At HCOS locations we will typically start a session at 9:00am and start a 2nd session at 1:00pm.
