NZQA is sorry for the disruption some students experienced during today’s Level 2 English exam. We recognise this was stressful for students, whānau and schools.
Students who attended the exam at schools that had digital entries will be eligible for a derived grade. Their exam work will also be marked, and they will receive the higher of their exam grade or derived grade. NZQA will work with schools on any individual cases where students were particularly affected.
There are no exams on Friday, due to Canterbury Anniversary. NZQA is using this time to undertake further work on the digital assessment platform before exams resume, and to understand what happened and prevent it happening again.
