Exclusions List
Standards that recognise the same or similar learning outcomes as other achievement or unit standards need to be excluded to prevent ‘double dipping’. Where two or more standards assess the same learning outcome, those standards are specified in the Exclusions List. You can only use credits gained from one of these standards towards your NCEA qualification.
In most cases, new NCEA standards are excluded against existing standards in each subject. During pilot years, some exclusions will be needed to ensure the robustness of the NCEA qualification. Once the new standards have been fully implemented, the existing standards will be expired, and the overall number of exclusions will decrease.
NCEA literacy and numeracy exclusions
The following table lists the standards excluded from the new literacy and numeracy standards.
| NEW LITERACY AND NUMERACY STANDARDS | CURRENT UNIT STANDARDS | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| EITHER | Literacy (reading) US32403, 5 credits | OR | Reading US26624, 3 credits |
| EITHER | Literacy (writing) US32405, 5 credits | OR | Writing US26622, 4 credits |
| EITHER | Numeracy US32406, 10 credits | OR | Numeracy: number US26623, 4 credits, statistics US26626, 3 credits or measurement US26627, 3 credits |
