NCEA Level 2 Te Reo Māori

It is the study of listening, speaking, reading, and writing in Māori. Achievement is measured against Level 2 Te Reo Māori achievement standards, each covering a specific set of skills and knowledge and worth credits toward your NCEA qualification.

Through a mix of internal and external assessment. Internal assessment happens in school during the year; external assessment means end-of-year examinations. Both are used to measure how well you meet each standard.

NZQA lists 92094 on 16 November, 92095 on 28 October, 91286 and 91687 on 16 November, 91652 and 91653 on 26 November, and 93003 on 1 December. Check the official timetable and your school's arrangements closer to the time.

Each standard is graded N, A, M or E: Not Achieved, Achieved, Merit and Excellence. Achieved, Merit and Excellence tell you how well you reached the standard. Merit and Excellence do not add credits but count toward endorsements.

Fifty credits at Merit or Excellence give you a Merit or Excellence endorsement on your NCEA qualification. Fourteen credits at Excellence in a particular course gives that course an Excellence endorsement. Both appear on your results and are useful for work and tertiary study.

You must achieve a certain number of credits to gain NCEA, and there are three levels. The source notes 80 credits as the point at which you have reached the qualification requirement, but keep aiming for Merits and Excellences because they drive endorsements.

Start with the Level 2 achievement standards so you know what each one demands, read the assessment specifications for the external examinations, then work through past exams, exemplars and assessment schedules. Finish with the national moderator's report to see where candidates commonly lose marks.

Treating the four modes unevenly is a frequent problem: candidates who only read and write often underperform in listening and speaking, and vice versa. The moderator's report and clarifications pages flag recurring assessment issues, so read them before your internal assessments.

The source does not state a retake policy for this subject. Internal assessment timing and any further assessment opportunities are decided by your school, so ask your teacher. External examination results and any resubmission options follow NZQA rules.
