Literacy Co-requisite
With changes to the curriculum for 2024, students need 80 credits to pass Level 1 NCEA. Ten of those credits must come from the Literacy Co-requisite exam and ten from the Numeracy Co-requisite exam. The remaining 60 credits are to be made up from other subjects including English and Maths. Our Co-requisite book contains notes and practice questions for the relevant Mathematics skills at curriculum levels 4 and 5 in preparation for the NCEA Numeracy co-requisite exam. In addition to working through these books, students are advised to gain as much experience in real-world english and maths as they can.
Literacy Co-requisite : Literacy skill are 'life skils' and are among the foundations of lifelong learning and full participation in society. These skills allow you to make meaning, think critically and creatively, and be able to successfully complete national qualification assessments at Level 1 and above. The Literacy Co-requisite Standards involve two assessments - one for Reading and one for Writing.
