    01

    Prepare for the skills behind the questions

    Use the official assessment samples linked below to identify task types. Practise one skill at a time, compare the reasoning with a model and keep a short record of errors. A topic worksheet is a starting activity, not a replica of the provincial assessment.

    02

    Confirm your assessment arrangements

    Ask the school about the current schedule, permitted tools, access arrangements and how results are used. Bring the grade and subject when requesting a demo; students do not all sit the same assessment.

    Understand it. Try it. Review it.

    Put your bc foundation skills assessment preparation learning into practice.

    Worked example · Fractions, decimals and proportion

    A jacket costs $80 before a 25% discount. What is the sale price?

    1. 25% is one quarter.
    2. One quarter of $80 is $20.
    3. $80 - $20 = $60.
    Common mistakes to check
    • Adding denominators when adding fractions
    • Reporting the discount instead of the sale price
