Recognition Credits:
NZQA has brought in recognition credits to assist student to achieve their NCEA credits because of the disruption caused by COVID19.
In 2020, for every 5 credits students achieve, you are entitled to 1 additional Learning Recognition (LR) credit. Up to 10 Learning Recognition credits can count towards NCEA Level 1 and up to 8 Learning Recognition credits can count towards Levels 2 or 3. NZQA will count these credits towards the qualification students are closest to achieving and these will appear on the student’s Record of Achievement during January when external examination results are published.

Digital NCEA External Examinations:
Some subjects are running digital external examinations this year. Before students decide to enter a digital examination in 2020, they should consider if they are using a computer to learn and should check with their teachers to see if they are running digital examinations in their senior school classes.
How do students get ready for a digital NCEA external examination?
Students will need to familiar themselves with the digital examination platform. Students can visit the NCEA Student Exam Hub at https://www.nzqa.govt.nz/ncea/ncea/, which will help the students become familiar with digital examinations. They will also find digitised past examination papers as well as the Digital Exams Device check to prepare your device if students are choosing to use their own device.
