Reviews and reconsiderations
Answer booklets
For externally assessed achievement standards, answer booklets are returned to students (for Graphics, the folio is returned to the school.)
To help students understand how their results were arrived at, the judgement statements used by markers are made available on this website. After students have looked closely at their answer booklets they may want to apply for a review or reconsideration of their results.
Review
If you think there has been a processing error (such as one or more unmarked sections in your booklet or portfolio, or the incorrect transfer of grades), you can request a review. This involves checking that all sections of the booklet or portfolio have been assessed and the results have been correctly recorded and transferred. In does NOT involve re-marking the script.
To apply for a Review, you need to download, and then print the PDF file opposite. Please read the instructions on the form, complete the relevant sections, and ensure that you sign the form. Remember to include all booklets for which you are requesting a Review. Send the completed form and booklet(s) to:
| NCEA Reviews New Zealand Qualifications Authority P.O. Box 160 Wellington 6140 |
There is no charge for a Review.
Reconsideration
If you think your answer booklet has not been assessed (or 'marked') correctly, you can apply for a reconsideration. This involves reassessing all answers in the answer booklet using the original assessment schedule - in other words re-marking it - and also checking mechanical processes like transferring results.
NB: If you apply for a review, you can't ask for a reconsideration of the same achievement standard. There is a different reconsideration process for Visual Arts. Contact your school for assistance.
It costs $20.00 for each booklet to be reconsidered. Fill in the application form included with your result notice and send it off with a cheque and relevant answer booklet/s. This fee is refunded should the mark change.
Compassionate consideration
If you applied for a compassionate consideration for any assessment, this has been processed. It is included in the interim result, unless stated otherwise. For any enquiries about compassionate consideration or about results for internally assessed standards, contact your school.
