Provincial Achievement Tests (PATs) are important, but they don’t have to be stressful. At Learning Point Academy, we prepare students so they feel confident, know what to expect, and perform their best when test day arrives.
PATs are province-wide exams given to students in Grade 6 and Grade 9. They test students have learned in core subjects throughout the school year.
These tests are part of your child’s permanent record and can affect high school placement and opportunities, making proper preparation worthwhile.
We go through each subject systematically, covering all key concepts and topics that appear on the PAT exam. Nothing is rushed.
Your child takes practice tests that are similar to the real PAT. This builds familiarity and confidence.
After practice tests, we review every question. We don't just mark right or wrong - we explain why answers are correct and help your child understand concepts they missed.
We teach proven strategies like: How to read questions carefully When to skip difficult questions and come back later Time management during the exam
Every student has different weak areas. We focus extra time on the topics your child struggles with.
We recommend 1-2 sessions per week starting 2-3 months before the exam. This gives enough time to cover everything without rushing.
Choose the learning format that works best for your family:
Complete individual attention focused entirely on your child’s needs.

We come to your home for personalized instruction in a familiar environment.
Perfect for: Young children, students who learn best at home
Every student is different. Some students see improvement in a few weeks, while others
need several months to build strong foundations.
We recommend starting 2-3 months before the exam. This gives plenty of time without rushing. For students who are significantly behind, starting earlier is better.
Most students benefit from 1-2 sessions per week. We can recommend based on your child’s current level and how much time remains before the exam.
We guarantee preparation and personalized teaching. Your child’s mark depends on their effort, understanding, and test day performance. But we consistently see improvement in students who work with us.
Great! We can help them reach their full potential and get even higher marks. We work with gifted students too.
That’s fine! We can focus on just that subject or combine preparation for multiple subjects. Your choice.
No, we have all practice materials and resources. You don’t need to buy anything extra.
Yes, but we recommend starting as soon as possible. Even a few weeks of intensive prep helps. Contact us to discuss your situation.
Both work equally well! It depends on your family’s preference. Some students focus better online at home, while others like the in-person environment. We offer both.
Our rates are competitive and we offer package discounts for multiple sessions. Contact us for current pricing and packages.
Don’t wait until the last minute. Start preparing now and give your child the best chance to succeed.
