SWLSB database of exam questions

Recently shared on the community by Daniel Hedges, a consultant at SWLSB, is a large project whereby recycled and recently created MEES-style exam questions have been organized according to course time periods.  The links below lead directly to the questions posted to the Secondary 3/4 Communauté Histoire du Québec et du Canada. 

Secondary 3 
Question Database: Origins to 1608   
Question Database: 1608-1760 

Secondary 4 
Question Database: 1840-1896. 
Question Database: 1896-1945

Note:  These are links midway to sections in rather long documents.  Scan all the way to the bottom for extra exams and resources.  ;-)

Newly created Dec. 2019 - Quick links to questions!
With these quick links, you have access to Document Based Questions by topic. Since the topics are laid out for each time period, this resource works well for practicing Document Base Questions with students thoughout the year, on a ongoing basis, and as a routine. This helps students get better at Document Based Questions, and ultimately to be better prepared for the exam too!!  (D. Hedges)
