Digital external assessment

Digital submissions and examinations

The revised achievement standards are digital, first and foremost. Digital submissions and digital examinations will account for the majority of externally assessed standards. As these standards are rolled out, digital assessment will become the norm.

To this point, digital examinations have mirrored paper-based exams as closely as possible. A digital-first approach allows modification of external assessment, leading to an enhanced student experience and more equitable access to assessments.
