I disagree with my child’s NCEA result, can it be reviewed?

Yes, NZQA provides review and reconsideration processes. For internally assessed standards, the school should first look at its own internal review process, and you can ask for a re-check of the assessment against the standard. For external assessments, you can request a review of a result or return of the student's papers within a set window after results are released, typically a few weeks. A moderation system is designed to keep standards consistent, but individual marking errors can be identified. Ask the school's NCEA coordinator about deadlines immediately. Also consider requesting a derived grade or special assessment consideration if illness or personal circumstances affected her performance. Complaints about school processes can go to the board, then NZQA.
