Nova Scotia administers the following assessments:

  • Nova Scotia Assessment: Reading, Writing, and Mathematics in Grade 6 (RWM6)
  • Nova Scotia Assessment: Literacy and Mathematics in Grade 3 (LM3)
  • Nova Scotia Assessment: Reading, Writing, and Mathematics in Grade 8 (RWM8)

Note: 

  • In 2020-2021, only outcomes that are identified as foundational in the Foundational Outcome documents (September 2020) and measurable on large scale assessments will be included on Nova Scotia Assessments. To reflect this change, the Mathematics portion of the Reading, Writing, and Mathematics/Mathématiques in Grade 8 has been reduced to 60-minute sessions.   

  • May 7 Update: Spring 2021 administrations of Nova Scotia Assessments and Nova Scotia Examinations have been cancelled due to ongoing COVID-19 concerns / L’administration des Évaluations et des Examens de la Nouvelle-Écosse prévue au printemps 2021 a été annulée en raison des préoccupations continues causées par la COVID-19.
