01Te reo whakaputa ā-waha - spoken production
Te reo whakaputa ā-waha is assessed live. The assessor listens for three things at once: whakahua (vowel length, ng/wh, stress), te rere o te reo (rhythm, pausing, fluency) and hanganga (whether the kōrero has a shape a listener can follow).
397 words, about 2 min02Te reo whakaputa ā-tuhi - written production in te reo Māori
Te reo whakaputa ā-tuhi asks you to compose written Māori - a pakiwaitara, a tuhinga whakaaro, a reta, a karere - that a reader can follow without you in the room. Because there is no voice, no gesture and no chance to correct yourself, every link between sentences must be carried by the words on the page.
380 words, about 2 min03Te tika o te reo - grammar, syntax and accuracy
Te tika o te reo is where small slips are punished hardest, because a wrong particle or passive ending changes who did what. The exam checks that you control the core sentence patterns, the a/o possession split, tense and aspect markers, negatives, and passive formations.
426 words, about 2 min04Te whānuitanga o te reo - vocabulary range and appropriate register
Te whānuitanga o te reo rewards precision over quantity. The assessor is asking: does this writer or speaker choose the right word for the occasion, or the nearest English-shaped word?
388 words, about 2 min05Te hāngai o te whakaputa - purpose, audience and context
Te hāngai o te whakaputa asks whether your Māori fits the job it is doing. Before a single sentence is written or spoken you need three answers: he aha te kaupapa, ko wai te hunga whakarongo, ā, he aha te horopaki?
426 words, about 2 min06Te whakaaro me te hanganga - ideas, structure and coherence
Te whakaaro me te hanganga judges whether the thinking holds together. Strong reo in disconnected sentences still fails this domain.
