How to Prepare for Grade 12 Exams in Ontario
The most effective Grade 12 exam plan starts three to four weeks out: list every unit, find the two or three weakest topics, and study in short spaced sessions with past tests — not one long cram the night before.

Start early
Begin reviewing three to four weeks before final assessments. Short daily sessions beat last-minute cramming.
Build a plan
- List every unit covered in each course.
- Rate your confidence in each unit from 1 to 5.
- Spend the most time on the lowest-rated units.
Practise like the real thing
Use past tests, textbook review questions, and timed practice. Mark your work and redo questions you got wrong.
Look after yourself
Sleep, regular meals, and short breaks support memory and focus.
