Studyit is a web site run by the Ministry of Education. Studyit does not replace teachers, schools or textbooks but provides free additional support online for math, science and English NCEA students at night, in the weekends and in the holidays.

Studyit has three main sections.
First is content http://www.studyit.org.nz/subjects/ containing the achievement standards that have been repackaged with student input.

Second is the support section that has study and exam advice http://www.studyit.org.nz/studyandexam/ and encouragement http://www.studyit.org.nz/encouragement/.

Third is communicate that has forums and e-mail addresses for mentors http://www.studyit.org.nz/communicate/index.php.
We employ expert teachers as mentors to respond to student questions via e-mail and the forums.

Students new to Studyit should check out both 'New to Studyit?' on the homepage and the content section and carry out a search of the forums before making a post.
