NCEA: Getting your NCEA Results
How and when will I get my results?
During the year you will be able to log on to the NZQA website and see your internally assessed results (sent by your school).
In January you’ll get provisional results for both internal and external assessment from the previous year. This will include standards achieved and standards not achieved.
When you leave school, you’ll receive a School Results Summary (SRS), listing all the standards that you have attempted and the results listed by subject and level, including Not Achieved results.

You can also request a copy of your Record of Achievement (ROA) from NZQA or access it online. This differs from the SRS in what is shown and how it is grouped. The ROA is intended to be a life-long record of your achievement and will grow as you gain new standards through tertiary study and industry training.
These documents detail your achievements in a way that should be easily understood by employers and tertiary education providers. You can use them by themselves or use information from them for your Curriculum Vitae.
Can I appeal my results?
If you have a question about your internal assessments, your school has a process for sorting this out.
You can ask NZQA to review results from most external assessments after you get your results. NZQA will give you detailed information about how to do this.
Recognition of NCEA
NCEA and other national certificates are recognised by employers, and used as the minimum qualification for selection by universities and polytechnics. Independent research has shown that if you do well in NCEA, you are more likely to do well in your first year at university. NCEAs are New Zealand’s national school-leaver qualifications, readily accepted overseas, including universities. NCEA level 3 is broadly equivalent to the United Kingdom’s General Certificate of Education (GCE) A-level and in Australia, the relevant state or territory Senior Secondary Certificate of Education.
