NB: NZQA have set an exclusion on unit standard 8812 and achievement standard 90053 formal writing achievement standard both counting towards a student's 80 credits for NCEA Level 1 Certificate because they assess similar outcomes. This means that if a student was to pass 8812 during the year then 90053 the November externals, only one result [for 8812, the standard with the greater credit value] would count towards their NCEA Level 1 Certificate. Both 8812 and 90053 results would appear on a student's results notice.
