Find your marked exams online
If you are a student sitting NCEA end-of-year exams, you can log in to MyNZQA from late January the following year and view your assessed digital or scanned paper exams online. You can view your assessed answers online until the end of June each year.
New Zealand Scholarship results are available from February.
We won’t return your paper-based exam booklets in the mail.

Physically submitted portfolios
Level 3 and NZ Scholarship Visual Arts portfolios
We will continue to mark Level 3 and NZ Scholarship Visual Arts assessments by hand and return the materials to students in the mail.
Design and Visual Communication portfolios
We will continue to mark design and Visual Communication assessments by hand and return the material to schools by courier.
We are gradually moving to digital marking using the online assessment platform. This is an important step forward in our digital assessment journey.
