Preparing for the Ontario Mathematics Proficiency Test (MPT) involves more than just studying math concepts. One practical challenge many teacher candidates face: Where exactly do I take the test?

Today, we are launching a new GEO feature in Numera that makes finding your EQAO test center effortless.

The Problem

EQAO administers the MPT at 10 designated test centers across Ontario. Until now, candidates had to:

Search through EQAO official documentation
Manually cross-reference addresses with their location
Contact centers individually for availability

It worked, but it was not convenient—especially for candidates in rural areas or those unfamiliar with Ontario geography.

The Solution: TestCenterFinder

Numera now includes a built-in TestCenterFinder that shows all 10 official EQAO test centers in one place.

What it does:

Browse all 10 centers — See every official EQAO MPT testing location
Regional filtering — Filter centers by geographic region (Northern, Eastern, Central, Western, Southern Ontario)
Instant contact info — Tap-to-call phone numbers with sanitized tel: links
Accessibility built-in — aria-live regions for screen readers, proper aria-labels on all interactive elements

The 10 EQAO Test Centers

Region	Center
Northern	Thunder Bay
Eastern	Ottawa, Kingston
Central	Toronto (2 locations), Mississauga
Western	Hamilton, London, Windsor
Southern	Barrie, Peterborough

Each center entry includes:

Full address
Direct phone link
Region classification for filtering

Accessibility Matters

We built this feature with accessibility in mind from day one:

aria-live regions — Screen readers announce dynamic content changes when you filter centers
Sanitized tel: links — Phone numbers use proper, safe URI formatting
aria-labels — Every button and filter has clear, descriptive labels for assistive technology

This is not just about compliance—it is about ensuring every Ontario teacher candidate can access this information, regardless of how they navigate the web.

How to Use It

Open Numera
Navigate to Test Centers in the navigation
Optionally filter by your region
Tap any center to see full details and contact options

No signup required. Works offline after your first visit (like everything else in Numera).

Why This Matters

Finding your test center should not be harder than preparing for the test itself. This feature removes one more logistical hurdle from your MPT journey.

Combined with our existing practice tools—mock exams, strand-specific drills, and pedagogy questions—you now have a complete preparation experience in one place.

What is Next

This is our first GEO-enabled feature. We are exploring:

Distance calculation — Show how far each center is from your location
Booking integration — Direct links to EQAO registration system
Travel time estimates — Help candidates plan their test day logistics

Stay tuned for updates.
