The New Zealand Qualifications Authority is capping the daily number of students who can take the crucial online NCEA literacy and numeracy tests to prevent a repeat of last year’s system failures, which occurred when log-ins peaked at around 18,000. For the upcoming tests, a maximum of 20,000 candidates will be allowed to log in simultaneously on certain days. About 165,000 students are scheduled to sit these tests this year, which are necessary for obtaining NCEA qualifications. The Authority has updated the online exam system, but it is still testing these improvements and is uncertain if they will be ready for the May testing window.
