There is a new format for this year’s OSSLT Booklets.Your actual test will look differently than your practice booklet.
For the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test
(OSSLT), there will now be a separate Question Booklet
and Answer Booklet for each assessment session.
Students will now record ALL of their responses—both multiple
choice and open response—in the Answer Booklet.
Good luck on the OSSLT!
