About the credential
The CAEC is a pan-Canadian high school equivalency credential that replaced the GED in Ontario and eight other provinces and territories, effective May 3, 2024. In Ontario it's administered by TVO ILC (the Ontario Educational Communications Authority), in partnership with Vretta, and passing all five subtests earns the Ontario High School Equivalency Certificate.
The CAEC is five independent, modular tests — Reading, Writing, Math, Science, and Social Studies — each scored separately at a 55% pass mark, and each can be taken on its own, in any order, across separate sittings. Four of the five (Reading, Math, Science, Social Studies) are computer-based, selected-response (multiple choice) tests. The fifth, Writing, is a single hand-scored persuasive essay or letter task.
ExamHub's free CAEC practice quiz has 347 original questions across all four selected-response subjects, written against the CAEC Test Administration Guide's published test-outcomes framework — well above each subtest's real question count, so Test Me never repeats a question.

Five questions pulled from the full bank, one from each area, with the answer shown — use the quiz above for the real timed simulation.
Why: The surrounding context — "dropping nearly 40% in a single quarter" — signals a sudden, sharp decline, which is what "plummeted" means.
Why: 25% of $80 is $20, so the sale price is $80 − $20 = $60.
Why: By the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse is √(6² + 8²) = √(36 + 64) = √100 = 10 cm.
Why: Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction — exactly what happens when pushing against a wall.
Why: The Charter is Part I of the Constitution Act, 1982, which patriated Canada's Constitution and entrenched the Charter as supreme law.
FAQ
The Canadian Adult Education Credential (CAEC) is a pan-Canadian high school equivalency test that replaced the GED in Ontario on May 3, 2024. In Ontario it's administered by TVO ILC, in partnership with Vretta, and earns the Ontario High School Equivalency Certificate.
Five independent, modular subtests — Reading, Writing, Math, Science, and Social Studies — that can be taken one at a time, in any order, across multiple days. You need 55% on each one individually; there's no single combined score.
Reading: 50 questions, 75 minutes. Math: 42 questions (12 no-calculator + 30 calculator), 120 minutes. Science: 35 questions, 90 minutes. Social Studies: 40 questions, 90 minutes. Writing is a single persuasive essay/letter task, 75 minutes, hand-scored.
No. Writing is scored as a persuasive essay or letter, not multiple choice, so it can't be represented in a quiz format. ExamHub's CAEC quiz covers the four selected-response subtests: Reading, Math, Science, and Social Studies.
55% on each subtest to "Meet Minimum Standard." Ontario's official scoring uses four bands: Exceeds Minimum Standard (80–100%), Meets Minimum Standard (55–79%), Approaching Minimum Standard (40–54%), and Does Not Meet Minimum Standard (0–39%).
No. ExamHub is an independent, free study resource and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or reviewed by TVO ILC, Vretta, or Alberta Education. Every question is original, written against the CAEC test-outcomes framework, not copied from any official sample test or another site's practice questions.
