Exclusions List

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
