New Zealand Scholarship Samoan study guide

New Zealand Scholarship Samoan is one of the NZQA New Zealand Scholarship subjects: an award that recognises top secondary school students, with assessments designed to be challenging for the most able students in each subject. Candidates may enter if they are enrolled in a consented New Zealand secondary school, and they do not have to be working towards NCEA to enter. Not all schools enter students for Scholarship, and some enter only a few subjects, so speak to your teacher early about whether entry is possible. The Samoan assessment is delivered as a written or spoken examination, or by submission of a portfolio or report of work produced throughout the year; the assessment itself has between 3 and 5 parts, with each part scored from 0 to 8 and the part scores added to give the final result. To be awarded Scholarship or Outstanding Scholarship you must reach a cut score. Preparation should therefore go beyond fluency: build deep understanding of the subject, practise high-level critical thinking, and rehearse applying your understanding to complex situations, using the published assessment criteria and exemplars for the subject. Topics on this exam: Samoan (subject content as assessed by the NZ Scholarship Samoan examination). The New Zealand Scholarship Samoan study guide has 1 section and about 402 words.
