45 percent of NCEA students ineligible to receive any NCEA quals (www.rnz.co.nz)

Barely half the teenagers who tried to pass the critical NCEA literacy and numeracy benchmark via online tests this year have succeeded, final results indicate.

They show that more than 100,000 students attempted at least one of the tests over the two rounds, with more than 80,000 sitting each subject. They had pass rates of 55 percent in numeracy, 66 percent in writing and 70 percent in reading.

Students must pass all three tests before they can receive any NCEA qualifications.

However, most of the students who attempted the tests this year were in Year 10 (51,252)

I thought you didn't normally do NCEA Level 1 until year 11. Is this a case of running students in a year early, so some pass and are ahead of the game, and the rest can work on it next year?
