Chemistry+in+NZ+Schools

The Chemistry curriculum is governed by the NZ Curriculum document, but generally examined by NCEA.

A useful site for secondary school students is BESTCHOICE. Check it out! Managed by the University of Auckland, it's not free anymore :(, but it is good! It is designed for the NZ Chemistry curriculum at all levels (1-3), also Scholarship and the Cambridge exams. It has notes and interactive questions and answers.

The NZ curriculum and the examination system has recently be UPDATED (realigned). Level 1 updates came in in 2011, Level 2 in 2012 and Level 3 in 2013. When the changes take effect, there will only be 3 externally examined topics per subject and the time allocation/credit allocation between topics and subjects should be fairer and more even.
