Standardized Testing in Alberta, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut Standardized Testing in Alberta, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut Standardized testing in Alberta was first known to be introduced in 1892 when the government of the Northwest Territories, of which modern day Alberta was originally part of. The government instituted the examinations as it sought to attain greater accountability and ensure its students were well regarded when applying to tertiary institutions. As a result, today the territorial governments of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut use the Alberta curriculum. There are two types of provincially administered standardized testing in Alberta and the territories: Provincial Achievement Tests (PATs) and Diploma Examinations (diplomas). Depending
