Pānui kia mōhio ki te reo Māori o te ao whānui
This is a reading comprehension exam where you read two letters in te reo Māori—a grandchild asking their grandmother about cultural changes over time, and the grandmother's reply. You then answer questions about what you've read. The exam tests whether you can understand Māori language in real-world contexts and explain your understanding clearly using your own words.
You write answers in your own words, structure them clearly, and attempt all three questions with at least two answers showing solid understanding.
You link your ideas together with detailed explanations and examples from the text, showing you can connect concepts and back up what you say.
You go beyond what the letters say by adding your own thoughts, ideas and perspectives while genuinely paraphrasing and showing sophisticated understanding of the text.
