Thousands of students across New Zealand, Niue, and the Cook Islands can now access their NCEA exam results from today, marking an important milestone after months of preparation and assessments.
The New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) has released the results online, allowing students to check their performance for NCEA Levels 1, 2, and 3. Results include subject credits, endorsements, and confirmation of whether key requirements — such as University Entrance — have been achieved.
How to Access NCEA Results
Students can view their results by logging into the NZQA student portal using their National Student Number (NSN) and password. Those who have forgotten their login details can use NZQA’s online support services to recover access.
What’s Coming Next?
- NCEA exam results are available from today
- Marked exam papers will be released later this month
- Scholarship exam results and papers are expected in February
These additional releases give students the opportunity to review their answers and better understand their performance.
What If Results Aren’t What You Expected?
Not achieving expected results can feel disappointing, but students still have options. NZQA allows applications for reviews or reconsiderations if students believe a result does not reflect their work. Schools and teachers can also provide guidance on next steps, alternative pathways, or further study options.
For many students, today is not just about grades — it’s about planning the next stage of their education or career journey.
