À savoir avant l’examen

The CAEC replaced the GED® in 2024. Completed GED® credentials stay valid.
There are five CAEC tests: Reading, Writing, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies. You must pass all five (or meet PLAR requirements) to earn the credential.
The Mathematics test has 42 questions in 120 minutes: Part I (no calculator) has 12 questions in 30 minutes, and Part II (calculator) has 30 questions in 90 minutes.
The minimum passing score on each CAEC test is 55%.
Part II covers four strands: number sense (25–30%), patterns and relations (10–20%), geometry and measurement (25–35%), and data management and probability (20–30%).
A Mathematics formula sheet appears automatically on any question that has no information on the left side of the screen.
You may write a subject test once per calendar month and up to 3 times per calendar year.
The CAEC testing service operates out of Alberta Education and Childcare's Provincial Assessment Sector; provinces and territories with an agreement with Alberta offer the tests.

Questions fréquentes

Is this the official CAEC Mathematics test?

No. This is an independent practice course. It is not run by the CAEC Testing Service or any province or territory, and your scores here are not CAEC results.

What does the certificate from this course show?

The certificate of completion shows that you finished this practice course and scored at least 80% on its final assessment. It is not the CAEC, not a high school equivalency and not an official result, so schools and employers will not accept it in place of the CAEC.

Why is the pass mark 80% here when the CAEC needs 55%?

The real test needs 55% on each test. We set a higher bar so that a pass here is a good sign you are ready, not just close.

Can I use a calculator on the CAEC Mathematics test?

Only in Part II. Part I (12 questions) must be done without a calculator. Graphing calculators are not allowed. Practise the Part I lesson and quiz without a calculator.

Where do I register for the CAEC?

Rules such as minimum age, fees and testing centres are set by each province or territory, so start with your provincial or territorial CAEC page. You then create an account on the CAEC digital platform and book your test at a testing centre.

What happens to my old GED® results?

Completed GED® credentials stay valid. If you passed 2002-series Canadian GED® tests, those results can count toward the CAEC through PLAR for a limited time (until December 2027, according to the Government of Alberta; check the date with your province or territory). You must also complete at least one CAEC test.

L’attestation est-elle accréditée ou reconnue officiellement ?

Non. C’est une attestation de réussite privée, uniquement pour vos connaissances. Elle n’est reconnue, accréditée ni approuvée par aucun gouvernement, organisme de délivrance des permis, autorité de réglementation ou établissement d’enseignement, et elle ne remplace aucun permis, aucune certification ni aucune formation exigés par la loi.
