'I wasn't sure when they were going to come through, but I was up really late last night until after midnight hoping they would come through.

'I woke up this morning and I checked the time and I was, ‘Oh I'll just check if they have come through yet.

'I wasn't sure that they were, and I checked it and they came through about seven. It's the earliest I have been up this entire holidays.”

Paige is thrilled with her results, having passed all her subjects.

Today she is among thousands of secondary school students across the country checking with friends across the social media platforms to see how they did.

New Zealand Qualifications Authority released NCEA results this morning for more than 170,000 students nationwide following exams last November and December.

Students can enter the Learner Login section of the website to view their results while marked NCEA examination papers are returned to students from late January.

'If students want a copy of their Record of Achievement, these can be requested tomorrow and will be mailed out to students,” says NZQA communications spokesperson Lisa Gibbison.

Marked NCEA exam papers are returned to students from late January. After receiving marked papers, students are able to apply for reviews and reconsiderations of their results until Friday, February 19.

Students who sat New Zealand Scholarship exams will be able to view their results online from Tuesday, February 9, and apply for reviews and reconsiderations until Friday, March 4.

National achievement statistics will be made available on the NZQA website as soon as they are prepared at the end of March.

How it works

  • Each year, students study a number of courses or subjects.
  • In each subject, skills and knowledge are assessed against a number of standards. For example, a Mathematics standard could be: Apply numeric reasoning in solving problems.
  • Schools use a range of internal and external assessments to measure how well students meet these standards.
  • When a student achieves a standard, they gain a number of credits. Students must achieve a certain number of credits to gain an NCEA certificate.
  • There are three levels of NCEA certificate, depending on the difficulty of the standards achieved. In general, students work through levels 1 to 3 in years 11 to 13 at school.
  • Students are recognised for high achievement at each level by gaining NCEA with Merit or NCEA with Excellence. High achievement in a course is also recognised.
