Rank Score
Many programmes at universities require more than the “University Entrance” (UE) requirements listed above. A sufficiently high rank score as detailed below is required in addition to University Entrance for such courses.
For example, 80 credits at Achieved level equates to a rank score of 160. The 20 credits from NCEA Level 2 carried over that contribute to NCEA Level 3 are NOT counted towards the rank score.
Note that the basic UE requirement of 60 Level 3 credits at Achieved level equates to a rank score of only 120 and that is only if all the subjects are approved.
Non-approved subjects do not count towards a rank score, so you are strongly recommended to take courses offering achievement standards and more specifically subjects that are “approved” for University Entrance. [UE Approved subjects include those that are labelled 300, 301 or 302]
Rank Score requirements for various universities: the details in the diagram below are based on information currently available (as at August 2019) and are subject to change along with the UE requirements.
