Q: When our tamariki/child does tests or assessments, we think they will need extra support or certain conditions to be able to show what they know. What do we do next?

A: We will complete some tests with ākonga to see if they meet the NCEA thresholds for exam assistance. These are done at school and take a total of two hours.

Exam assistance can be:

• Use of a computer
• Separate Accommodation
• Rest Breaks
• Reader
• Writer
• Extra time

Testing does not usually begin until Year 9, Term 4.
