Welcome to NZCER Assist.
Welcome aboard to our exciting new online testing platform - NZCER Assist since 2021 for PATs, STAR, Science (Junior and Senior), Te Reo Māori and surveys.
Some exciting features of our user-friendly platform include:
- NZCER Assist is designed for both online testing and entering data for paper-based testing.
- Our subscriptions are annual, this means flexibility in using the subjects to test students throughout the year.
- Doing an SMS upload each term before testing will automatically create assessments, classes, tokens for both online testing and paper-based testing.
- Teachers can have their own individual accounts, be assigned to their classes, administer tests and view reports.
- Once the testing is complete students data can be downloaded into a CSV file.
What is new for existing schools?
Learners who are not currently active in 2022 have been archived. Admins can un-archive learners at any point in Assist. (Note: The SMS upload will unarchive students and make them active current users.)
If you wish to remove a staff that has left your school, you can archive their account. This will mean they can no longer access the school's NZCER Assist account.
