This is a Level 1 external Te Reo Māori reading exam worth 6 credits. Students read passages written in te reo Māori about topics related to their world, then answer questions in either English or te reo Māori to show how well they understand what they have read. The 2022 exam was about a trip to the marae, including problems and solutions that came up along the way. Students also had to apply a whakataukī (proverb) to their understanding of the text.
