Subgroup Analysis [Click on charts to enlarge] :
Year 8
Commentary:
More than half of the year 8 students followed the instructions fully, with another 26% missing just one point. There was little change between 2004 and 2008. Almost the same percentage of Pakeha, Mäori and Pasifika students got full marks.
