Three online tests: Reading (US32403), Writing (US32405) and Numeracy (US32406). Schools often call them CAAs (Common Assessment Activities) or lit and num. Students need all three to be awarded NCEA. Most first sit them in Year 10.
They're sat in May and September windows. There's no limit on attempts, and each test is separate, so you only resit the one you need.
Yes, a calculator and a ruler are allowed. PSL Study has an on-screen calculator and questions that use a ruler.
No. NZQA puts its past assessments on its own website for free. PSL Study's questions are our own, with a hint and a worked answer for every one, so you see what went wrong straight away. The answers aren't in the back of the book. They're in your head, with a bit of practice.
They practise the same skills, set in New Zealand, and aim slightly harder than the real test. They aren't real test questions, and our ready mark is ours, not NZQA's.
Free to download, with 10 free questions a day from any subject and one guided writing task. One payment of NZ$9.99 unlocks everything. No subscription, no ads.
