Special Assessment Conditions - Extra Writing Time Option
For all enquiries, please email sac@nzqa.govt.nz
A student who is entitled to Computer or Writer assistance may opt to request Extra Writing Time instead for assessments in selected subjects where using a computer or writer may not be easy.
For exams in these subjects the student must be entered in NCEA for more than two standards or entered for Scholarship, and not already entitled to Extra Writing Time. The student must select the whole session, not standard by standard.
This option does not apply if the student is using a Computer as a result of the Computer Notification process.
For internal time-bound assessments extra time should be offered in the same subjects and levels where it suits, at the rate of 10 minutes per hour.
This also applies, as appropriate, to Common Assessment Task assessments, including MCAT.
