If ākonga are unsuccessful or cannot complete a TAPA assessment

If ākonga attempt 1.3 TAPA 1 and are not successful, can they sit 1.3 TAPA 2? 

No, they cannot. Ākonga may only attempt one external assessment per standard. 

If ākonga are entered for TAPA 1 but can't complete it

If ākonga are entered for TAPA 1 but can't complete the assessment (for example, due to being māuiui or a tangihanga) can they be entered for TAPA 2 instead?  

Yes. If an ākonga is absent from TAPA 1 (for example, due to being māuiui or a tangihanga), they can be entered for TAPA 2 instead.  

Derived grades

What are the eligibility requirements for a derived grade? 

If an ākonga is absent from TAPA 1 (due to being māuiui or attending a tangihanga, for example), they can be entered for TAPA 2 instead. 
 
If an ākonga becomes māuiui during a TAPA (after they have already logged on and begun the assessment), they will receive a result for that assessment and will need to apply for a derived grade.
