I know the universities track the highschools and certain grades might be overlooked depending on where you go to highschool.
Now, I'm not saying that these students aren't smart and haven't worked hard and legitimatly know their material. But I'm just wondering. Maybe not so much with the provincial testing, but in other things
Just a though.

I don't think the Grade 10 literacy exam favours certain high schools necessarily, but rather, favours those in the academic stream. Grade 10s write the same exam province-wide, while there are two separate exams for Grade 9 math (one for those taking applied and another for those in the academic stream).
