<strong>Schol</strong>arship<br />
<strong>Info</strong>rmation for candidates 2011
Level 4 <strong>Schol</strong>arship<br />
<strong>Schol</strong>arship is awarded to the top 3 per cent of Year 13 students in New Zealand<br />
studying each subject.<br />
<strong>Schol</strong>arship candidates are expected to demonstrate high-level critical thinking,<br />
abstraction and generalisation, and to integrate, synthesise and apply knowledge,<br />
skills, understanding and ideas to complex situations.<br />
How are <strong>Schol</strong>arship exams marked?<br />
Markers allocate a score of 0-8 for each question in the <strong>Schol</strong>arship exams using<br />
subject specific schedules. These are based on a Generic Marking Guide, as follows:<br />
An answer given a score of 8 is an Outstanding answer in all respects. <strong>St</strong>rong<br />
evidence of integration and synthesis. As good as could be expected under examination<br />
conditions. Accurate, comprehensive, coherent, lucid, perceptive.<br />
A score of 1 shows Meagre understanding relevant to the question.<br />
0 is awarded for answers that are blank or irrelevant.<br />
The work of the highest scoring candidates is reviewed by marking panels, to<br />
identify the top candidates in each subject. Exam booklets for candidates whose<br />
scores are close to either the <strong>Schol</strong>arship or Outstanding cut-offs are also remarked,<br />
to ensure their results are correct.<br />
<strong>Schol</strong>arship results are released towards the end of February each year.<br />
Exams have between 3 and 6 questions and the scores for each question are indicated<br />
in the candidates' exam booklets, which are returned soon after the results.
