Alberta Diploma Exam - Subjects

Subjects

In October 2009, Alberta Education decided to eliminate the written response (Part A) for Biology 30, Chemistry 30, Pure Mathematics 30, Applied Mathematics 30, Physics 30, and Science 30. This will save the Alberta government 1.7 million dollars in producing the exams and paying teachers to mark them in Edmonton, the capital of Alberta. The written response (Part A) remains for Social Studies 30-1 and 30-2 as well as English 30-1 and 30-2. For humanities subjects, Part A written response will take place up to two weeks before Part B multiple choice.

Grade twelve subjects for which there are diploma exams are:

  • English Language Arts 30-1 (Part A Written and Part B Multiple Choice)
  • English Language Arts 30-2 (Part A Written and Part B Multiple Choice)
  • Social Studies 30-1 (Part A Written and Part B Multiple Choice)
  • Social Studies 30-2 (Part A Written and Part B Multiple Choice)
  • Pure Mathematics 30 (Multiple Choice and Numerical Response only) - 33 Multiple Choice and 7 Numerical Response
