Nervous wait for NCEA students

Jan 17, 2008 6:38 AM

Results are out for more than 130,000 secondary school students who sat NCEA exams at the end of last year.

The New Zealand Qualifications Authority expects around 85% of students will receive their results in the mail no (sic) Thursday.

Spokesman Bail Haque says anyone who misses getting their results in the post on Thursday can log on to the NCEA website on Thursday afternoon.

Posted results are expected to be delivered between January 17 and 25.

Haque says it is the first year candidates can qualify for certificate endorsements for gaining top marks over a range of subjects.

Scholarship results are due in February.
