Alberta PAT Test Grade 9

Free Alberta PAT practice questions for Grade 6 and Grade 9 reading, writing and math.

Every Alberta student in Grade 6 and Grade 9 writes the PAT each spring.

What is on the Alberta PAT in Grade 9?

Alberta students in Grade 6 and Grade 9 write the Provincial Achievement Tests in reading, writing and mathematics each spring. The tests are written at school and follow the Alberta curriculum rather than a national one.

Each part is scored as a percentage and as a score out of 1000, then compared with provincial averages. Because the tests are curriculum-based, the most useful preparation is practising the kinds of questions each part actually asks — including the short written answers where explaining your thinking earns marks.

Reading

Passages with questions on main ideas, details, vocabulary in context and the writer's purpose.

Writing and representation

Short written answers and editing: sentence structure, word choice, punctuation and organizing ideas.

Mathematics

Number, patterns and relations, shape and measurement, statistics and probability, with multi-step problems.
