Discretionary Entrance is based on Level 2 NCEA. It is structured similarly to Provisional Entrance but has the additional requirement that students must meet the literacy and numeracy standards required for university entrance. NZQA has specified the standards that contribute to these requirements. Further information from the Careers Adviser or directly from the University Admissions Office. English Requirements for Overseas Students Tertiary institutions will ask for original documents or certified photocopies of one of the following: Level 2 Literacy credits in English as listed above; a pass in English in the GCE 'O' level examination; a TOEFL and a TWE (Test of Written English) pass; Grade C3 or above in SPM (Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia) English 322. NOTE: Some universities also request an IELTS band score of 6 with no band less than 5.5 – see the Careers Adviser NCEA Changes in 2013 The Ministry of Education began a review of all NCEA standards in 2007. This will result in many changes to NCEA courses at Level 3 (Year 13) in 2013. Unfortunately, the changes will not be finalised until November for most subjects. This means that much of the information in the Level 3 booklet is subject to change. 11
