NCEA Level 2 Te Reo Māori study guide
NCEA Level 2 Te Reo Māori · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
Te Reo Māori at NCEA Level 2 is the study of listening, speaking, reading, and writing in Māori, assessed through the standards NZQA lists for this subject. It suits secondary students who already have a foundation in te reo Māori and want formal recognition of their ability to understand and produce the language across all four modes. Schools measure achievement using both internal assessment, which happens in school during the year, and external assessment, which for this subject means end-of-year examinations. Each standard covers a specific set of skills and knowledge and is worth credits; achieving a standard gains you those credits toward the qualification. The NCEA Level 2 Te Reo Māori study guide has 4 sections and about 1,345 words.
