Understanding NCEA Test Score Processing

NCEA is New Zealand's national qualification for senior secondary students. NCEA is part of the National Qualifications Framework (NQF). Through NCEA, students can record their achieved standards, thereby acquiring credits on the NQF, as well as a variety of test results. For example, when students have achieved 80 credits at level 1, they qualify for a NCEA level 1, so long as eight of those credits show numeracy skills and eight other credits show literacy skills.
