High school students will be keeping an eye out for the postman since he is expected to be delivering 2009's NCEA results by the end of the week.
The results are also being published online at the NZQA website from mid-afternoon Thursday.

Lauren Barnard is eagerly waiting the results of her 2009 NCEA exams.

Students must be registered to check their results online and can do this via the website at: http://www.nzqa.govt.nz/login.html
Students can achieve NCEA at three levels, with results showing a slight overall increase in the number of students gaining endorsed certificates, introduced in 2007.
NZQA Deputy Chief Executive, Qualifications, Bali Haque says this year's results are encouraging.
'The results are consistent with previous years, but there is an overall increase in the proportion of students gaining endorsed certificates. This indicates that Certificate Endorsement is proving a motivating factor for students.”
New Zealand Scholarship results will be delivered in mid-February and national NCEA statistics will be available on the NZQA website by the end of March.
New Zealand is the only country in the world to return marked examination papers to candidates. This will take place from 18 January onwards, with papers delivered progressively over the following fortnight.
Following the return of marked papers, candidates have until February 19 to apply for reviews and reconsiderations.
Reconsideration is an application to have an examination re-marked. A $20 fee applies for each application for reconsideration – this is refunded if the application is successful.
