NCEA results

How to access your NCEA results and links to helpful information on our site

As a secondary school student, you receive results for all internal or external standards that are assessed as part of your NCEA qualification.

Internal standards are assessed by your education provider. External standards are assessed by NZQA.

You can view all your results in the MyNZQA learners portal.

Internal assessment results

During the school year, you receive results for internally assessed work.

Your school sends your results to NZQA. We record your results and they are added to your entries and results page in MyNZQA.

You can log in and look at your results at any time.

External assessment results

External NCEA assessments include Common Assessment Activities (or CAAs) and end-of-year examinations. 

Literacy and Numeracy and Te Reo Matatini me te Pāngarau are assessed through CAAs. These assessments are scheduled during the school year.

Literacy and Numeracy and Te Reo Matatini me te Pāngarau results

You can find results for Literacy and Numeracy and Te Reo Matatini me te Pāngarau assessments in the MyNZQA learners portal.

Because these assessments are held at different times each year, there's no set date for when you can access your results. Your school will keep you informed.

End-of-year external exam results

From late January, you can access results for your end-of-year assessments in the MyNZQA learners portal.

Scholarship results are available from February.

You'll also use the MyNZQA learner portal to access your marked assessments:

Reviews and reconsiderations

You can apply for a review or reconsideration of externally assessed NCEA standards and New Zealand Scholarship subjects.

You have the right to request:

  • a review, if a processing error has occurred
  • a reconsideration, if you believe an error in marking has occurred.

The application forms for reviews and reconsiderations are available in MyNZQA after your completed exams are available to you.

Reviews and reconsiderations can take up to 6 weeks to process. If you're a prospective university student, tell the university that you have outstanding reviews or reconsiderations.
