Assessment Matters

Scholarship History: Change to format of assessment
A2020/20 - 10 Nov 2020
To: |
Principal |
In 2021, the Scholarship History examination will consist of three questions. This replaces the current format which has one question assessed against multiple criteria. The rationale and format of the new examination are explained in the document below.
History Scholarship 2021 supporting information (PDF, 110KB)
Note: There is no change to what is being assessed, only to the format of the assessment. This change is not expected to have an impact on teaching and learning programmes as candidates will continue to be assessed against the skills that applied in the 2020 examination.
An exemplar of the new assessment format will be available on the NZQA website in December 2020.
