Candidate Admission Slips and Examination Information

Please inform the appropriate staff that boxes containing Candidate Admission Slips, Rules & Instructions for Candidates sheets, and an information sheet on Grade Score Marking will be delivered to schools from 25 October 2011. Although, the delivery date in the Key Dates 2011 calendar is 19 October 2011, this date falls within the school holidays. NZQA will deliver these boxes at the beginning of Term 4.

The boxes will contain the following for each candidate sitting an externally-assessed examination:

• Admission Slip
• Rules & Instructions for Candidates sheet
• Information sheet on Grade Score Marking (GSM, for NCEA Level 1 candidates only).

Admission Slips are sorted by candidate surname and also by any sort keys you provided with your school data, e.g. by form group. In some cases, the Admission Slip may be two pages. The Admission Slips are printed with a colour divider denoting the start of a new sort key. The sort key is printed on the divider in large font.

The Admission Slips are not enclosed in envelopes. This is to allow schools to confirm candidates’ addresses. When handed the admission slip, the candidate should be asked to confirm that their address is correct. If a change of address is required, the school should make any necessary changes by data file submission.  This will help ensure any examination materials are sent to the appropriate address in January.

Schools can print copies of Admission Slips and Rules & Instructions for Candidates sheets from their NZQA login page (Reports, Exam Reports link) should candidates lose their Admission Slips or if late entries have been made and those examinations don’t show on their printed Admission Slips.
