Each NCEA subject resource page may include some or all of the following types of documents:
| Assessment Report | An overview of the performance of the exam candidates in the external standards in a subject. |
| Assessment Schedule | The markers' guide – what was accepted, or looked for in candidate answers. Needs to be read in association with the Judgement Statement. |
| Assessment Specification | Defines how the assessment will occur – how long the exam will be and what format the assessment will take. For submitted work, the nature and format of the work to be submitted are described. |
| Exam Paper |
The set of questions to be answered by candidates in the exam room. In some cases there will be a single document; in others there may be separate documents. |
| Exemplar | An actual student answer script, with annotations from the marker indicating why the script was assessed in the way it was. |
| Judgement Statement |
Defines how the different levels of performance were separated from each other. For Grade Score Marking, these are the cut scores between the grades N, A, M, and E. |
| The Standard (Unit or Achievement) |
Defines the learning outcomes (what the learner will be able to do, or explain, or demonstrate, or understand, etc), as well as the assessment criteria. |
New content will be added as it is developed or becomes available.
