Bay of Plenty students are among thousands across the country logging in to see if their exam efforts have paid dividends.

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.

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.
