 * Resource pages are available for [|subjects] e.g. [|Biology ,]<span class="wiki_link_ext"> environmental sustainability **
 * 1) **The [|Assessment Matrix], an overview of assessments available for that subject for the 3 levels of NCEA. Each achievement standard has an achievement standard number AS** **and a subject reference number e.g. Biology 1.1.The credits it is worth and whether it is internally or externally assessed is recorded. Credits add up to gain NCEA and form part of the requirements to gain University Entrance.**
 * 2) **Under** Standards, **Assessment standards and any achievement standard review documents for [|Level 1], [|Level 2], [|Level 3.] These are planned reviews when the assessment standard gets polished up.** **__You need to make sure you have the latest version.__**** It's the teacher's job to check for updates. **
 * 3) **Resources for externally assessed achievement standards:**
 * 4) **Assessment Specifications for Level 1, Level 2, Level 3. These specify the scope of the exam, expected skills and depth of knowledge. A single file has all of the specifications for the external papers of that subject (they call it a domain).** **__You need to make sure you have the latest version.__**
 * 5) **Exam documents, “Profiles of Expected Performance” (a chart of how students will perform doing that year's exam), and some papers have exempler answers to the exams.**
 * 6) **Assessment schedules and judgement statements for past exams show how the markers came up with the student's results, what they were looking for etc. Use old exam questions for summative assessment and the marking schedule is provided.**
 * 7) **An assessment report covers the externally assessed papers for the subject, commenting on where students mostly were getting things right and where those who failed to achieve went wrong. May be a good guide to appropriate study skills you need to teach and may show up common misconcepts.**
 * 8) **Resources for internally assessed acheievement standards:**
 * 9) **The National Moderator Report for the subject covers all three levels. It's worth looking through all past reports for tips on good practice and pitfalls.**
 * 10) **The Moderator Newsletter is new. The [|first Biology] newletter relates Year level to Curriculum level.**
 * 11) **“Assessment Matters”newsletters are published regularly. [|Subscribe] to receive notice of changes to assessment standards and the processes of assessment. The [|archives] state their contents. Check these for relevant information such as [|definitions of a scientific investigation]**
 * 12) **The SecQual circular deals mostly with administration stuff but [|this draft document]on procedures for reassessment states what teachers should be providing to students when starting a task for internal assessment.**
 * 13) **The TKI website holds [|internal assessment exemplers for all subjects] and [|support materials for all subjects] .**
 * 14) **The [|NZ Curriculum resource page]also has support documents
