About NZQA Past Papers Archive
What is the NZQA Past Papers Archive?
This archive is an independent project created by a 17-year-old high school student to preserve and provide access to NZQA past examination papers and related educational materials. It was initiated in response to the removal of resources older than three years from the official NZQA website.
Our Mission
Our goal is to ensure that students, educators, and researchers continue to have access to these valuable educational resources. We believe that past examination papers are crucial for effective study and preparation, and should remain publicly accessible.
How to Use
Select a subject and NCEA level from the dropdown menus on the homepage. You can then use the various filters and search options to find specific papers. Click on a file to open it in a new tab for review or download.
Our Commitment
We are committed to keeping this resource free and accessible to all. We have a strict no-ads policy - you will never see advertisements on this site. We believe in providing a clean, distraction-free environment for students and educators to access these important materials.
Support the Project
This archive is maintained by a single high school student as a free resource for the community. While donations are appreciated to help cover hosting costs, they are not necessary. Our primary goal is to ensure these resources remain available to all who need them, regardless of their ability to contribute financially.
Help Us Grow
If you notice any missing papers or have access to resources that aren't currently in our archive, we'd love to hear from you! Please contact us with information about the missing files. Your contribution can help make this archive more comprehensive for everyone.
Our Aspirations
Looking ahead, we aspire to:
- Expand our collection to include a comprehensive archive of all past NZQA examination papers.
- Improve search functionality to make finding specific resources even easier.
- Collaborate with educators to provide additional study resources and guides.
- Ensure the long-term sustainability of this archive for future generations of students.
