  3. Understanding NCEA All you need to know to pass NCEA at an Excellence level

  4. Credit Breakdown • To pass Level 1 this year you need to gain 80 Credits overall. • 10 of these must be Literacy Credits • And another 10 must be Numeracy Credits

  5. Excellence Course Endorsements Taking a step up from just passing, you should also be aiming to get course endorsements in your individual subjects. Excellence Course endorsements are about consistently passing assessments at an Excellence level (in a particular subject).

  6. Excellence Course Endorsements • To gain an excellence course endorsement, you need to achieve at least 14 credits at Excellence in a single subject. • At least 11 internal Excellence credits • At least 3 external Excellence credits= • Excellence Course Endorsement for that subject. (Notice how there is no such thing as Merit?  You should always aim for the best!)

  7. Excellence Certificate Endorsement This is the Holy Grail. Passing NCEA Level 1 with Excellence is what you’re working towards all year. An Excellence Certificate Endorsement is when you consistently achieve at Excellence level across ALLof your subjects. Aim to achieve this internally = LESS STRESS DURING EXTERNALS

  8. Excellence Certificate Endorsement • To gain NCEA Level 1 with Excellence (Certificate Endorsement), you need to gain a minimum of 50 Excellence credits across the board • E.g. 18 excellence from 11RED (all internal) 14 excellence from 11PED (all internal) 18 excellence from 11ENG (11 internal) = 50 Excellence Credits =Excellence Certificate Endorsement!! (*based on compulsory subjects)

  9. NCEA isn’t scary! As long as you have the passion to achieve to the best of your ability, and don’t mind pushing yourself that little bit EXTRA to get results, NCEA can be a fun and exciting experience 
