NCEA practice external exams - Week 9 Term 3
NCEA practice exam week runs from 14 to 18 September. This is an opportunity for students to do a practice run of the external exams and gain feedback on where they are at and what they need to do to improve.
Derived grades
As well as providing a practice experience for students, these exams give a 'derived grade' which can be submitted to NZQA as a final grade should an unforeseen event happen on the day of the external exam in November (illness / bereavement etc).
