They don't mean anything as far as highschool goes... they're for colleges, so that they know people are taking the same test. Basing it just on your school grades isn't good because different school districts can be so different in quality...What I was saying is that the the difference in quality is minimal because of how strict the provincial governments are when it comes to how school boards and schools operate. Funding for schools is centalized. All the money collected for education in a province are pooled and then divided between the schools and school boards on the basis of the number of students. Basically it means that a school in a poor area that has 1000 students will get just as much funding as a school in a well to do area with 1000 students.
