Assessments, tests, and surveys

NZCER develops and supports a comprehensive set of assessments and surveys to help schools support ākonga through their educational journey. Our tools are evidence-based, robustly designed and aligned to our goals of an equitable education sector that upholds its obligations to Te Tiriti o Waitangi.  

Our assessments typically support ākonga from Year 3 to Year 10 (with some exceptions), and include the Progressive Achievement Tests – some of the most popular assessments in Aotearoa.  

Many of our assessments have been recently refreshed with an explicit equity focus, ensuring the language, culture and identity of all ākonga is reflected in assessment content and design. You can read more about that here.  

Our surveys can support from early primary through to tertiary settings, including tools to support wellbeing, teacher and principal practices, and perceptions of te reo Māori.

Schools and organisations can access our online assessments and surveys through our NZCER Assist platform – find out more about getting started with or using NZCER Assist here.
