Assessment outline
Assessment regulations
The internal achievement standards will be assessed after the appropriate topics have been taught.
Due date: Submissions must be by the due date. Extensions may be granted as per Mount Aspiring College NCEA rules. Missing a deadline means Not Achieved for that standard.
Submitting through Google Classroom: For assignments set through Google Classroom, the student must submit using the 'hand in' or 'submit' button to be considered submitted.
Resubmission: In the case that the student is close to achievin and a minor change will achieve that then a resubmission may be offered at the discretion of the teacher. Resubmissions are only for raising Not Achieved to Achieved.
Reassessment: There may be reassessment opportunities if time allows and at the teachers discretion. Reassessment opportunities are only available to those who made a substantial effort on the first assessment and met any deadlines. Reassessment will be undertaken by the student outside of regular class and homework tasks. A strict deadline will be set by the teacher.
The externally assessed achievement standards will be formatively assessed using tests and exams during the year. The results from these assessments will count towards class placings and any derived grade applications if you are unable to sit final examinations.
It is vital that you read and understand the rules relating to NCEA in the section on NZQA information.
