SUMMARY:NCEA and Scholarship Examinations
DESCRIPTION:NCEA and Scholarship Examination Timetable\nAll NCEA (levels 1 – 3) and New Zealand Scholarship examination sessions are three hours. \nAll exam sessions start at either 9:30 am or 2:00 pm. \nMore info\n\nExternal examination information for students\nInformation about NZQA Fees\nCandidate Information Sheet.pdf\n\nFor more information refer to Examinations. \n\nAny student unable to sit their external examination due to ill health must notify the school by contacting the Principal’s Nominee – information listed below:\nDerived Grades over NZQA examination period? What will be considered?\nDerived grades are for exam candidates who\, just before or during the examinations\, suffer:\n· a temporary illness\,\n· trauma ( ie. a deeply distressing or disturbing experience) or misadventure (i.e. an event beyond their control)\n· another serious event. \nCandidates should sit the examination where-ever possible. Candidates who sit the examination but believe that their preparation or performance was impaired or were unable to sit the examination should apply for a derived grade. \nApplications must refer to events of a medical or non-medical nature that:\n· have clearly had an effect on the candidate during the examination\n· Stopped the candidate from attending the examination. You must get a medical certificate on that day. \nWhat won’t be considered?\nThe temporary illness\, trauma or other serious event must be of a significant nature. Applications will not be granted on grounds such as:\n· minor ailments\n· stress due to examinations\n· parents being on holiday\n· day-to-day family disturbances\n· Death or euthanasia of a pet. \nWhat about long-term conditions?\nThe following conditions alone are not acceptable grounds for a derived grade application:\n· long-term and ongoing illnesses and conditions (e.g. concussion\, physical disability\, anxiety\, epilepsy\, depression\, anorexia nervosa and other eating disorders)\n· chronic relapsing conditions (e.g.\, glandular fever\, ME)\n· Ongoing personal trauma. \nThese conditions are usually managed through conditions and/or modifying the candidate’s assessment programme. However\, where there is a sudden change in a managed chronic condition/illness that is documented by a medical professional\, and the candidate believes they are unable to perform on the day of the examination as well as they usually have\, NZQA will consider an application. \nFor example\, a change in medication might cause a documented and observable change in the way that a chronic condition/illness is managed and have a clear and observable effect on the candidate. In such a case\, the impairment is seen as temporary and if a registered professional is willing to support an application\, NZQA will consider it. \nWhat has to be provided?\nIndependent professional evidence is required confirming the temporary illness\, trauma or other serious event that affected the candidate’s preparation\, performance or attendance on the day of the examination\, was beyond their control\, and/or made it impossible for them to sit the examination.\nFor events occurring in the period immediately prior to the examination\, the candidate must clearly demonstrate that effective preparation was not possible in the week before the examination and provide evidence that they were under continuous and well-documented care by a registered professional. \nContact the school\nPlease contact c.vankralingen@bdsc.school.nz (Principal’s Nominee) or phone him directly on 273 2310 ext. 207 to discuss further. An application form for a derived grade can be picked up from Mrs S Clark outside the Deputy Principals offices.
