Reflections from our School Practice Exams would indicate a high level of satisfaction from both teachers and students with using a digital platform for the exams. Comments ranging from the benefits of not getting hand cramp to being able to edit, spell check and complete papers more quickly came from students. Teachers commented on the advantage of not having to negotiate handwriting styles while marking and that students generally provided more evidence and detail in their answers.

English, Art History, Media Studies, History, Classics and Food and Nutrition exams will all be available for students to answer digitally in the NCEA exams. NZQA have provided this information sheet which you can find here. The Student Exam Hub section provides guidance for student preparation, and includes practice activities and past examinations.
