Reviews and Reconsiderations for 2016 NCEA and Scholarship external examination results.

Students who sat NCEA examinations last year should now have received their returned exam answer booklets. They must check all answer booklets for errors and talk to their teacher or the HOF if unsure. They may be eligible for additional credits.

Candidates will be able to apply for a review or reconsideration by logging in and clicking on the relevant link in their Learner login. Reconsideration applications and payments are made on-line and for review applications, candidates must download their personalised review form, complete it, then send it in with the relevant examination booklet or portfolio. There is no charge for a review.

Applications for NCEA reconsideration and reviews must be made by 17 February 2017. For more information see: http://www.nzqa.govt.nz/reviews-and-recons

While the cost is $20 per paper, it is refunded if an NZQA error.

A review should only be requested for a processing error and carries no fee.

Candidates can apply for a reconsideration if they believe that their work has not been marked. This carries a fee per standard.

• Applications for reviews and reconsiderations for NCEA externally assessed standards close on Friday 17 February but students are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.

• Scholarship reviews and reconsiderations close on Friday 3 March.

Students who do not have access to a computer should contact NZQA on 0800 697 296 for a copy of the reconsideration application form.  It is advisable for students to talk to their teachers prior to applying for a review or reconsideration.

Student Documents: NCEA Certificates, Record of Achievement & School Results Summary Reminder: students need to order from their Learner login any documents they are eligible for and want copies of NCEA's Record of Achievement and, for school leavers, the School Results. Summary will not be automatically sent to students in April as they were in the past.
