§ Less than 100 students. NOTE: Sessions and student counts are rounded to nearest hundred. Detail may not sum to total because of rounding. Science HOTs = hands-on tasks; Science ICTs = Interactive computer tasks. Music and visual arts assessments were operational; all science assessments were pilots, as were the mathematics and reading assessments for grade 12; mathematics and reading assessments for grades 4 and 8 were field tests.
