The Technical Overview Group Assessment applies discretion in the setting of cut scores. The 3% criterion is applied with discretion of plus or minus 5 students.
Cut scores are set so all students at or above the cut score have demonstrated performance at the Scholarship standard.
High numbers of Scholarships in Latin
A significantly higher number of Level 3 students achieve New Zealand Scholarship in Latin, than in other subjects. This is because:
- Latin has a very small number of students at Level 3. Therefore, there is a larger proportion of Level 3 students awarded Scholarship in Latin.
- Up to 5 students on top of 3% of the Level 3 cohort can receive Scholarship in each subject. Because Latin is undertaken by a very small number of students, and a very small number at Level 3, a high percentage of Level 3 students receive awards.
