Level 2 programming assessment 2026

• A summative assessment is used to determine your grade for an achievement standard.
• After you submit, your work will be marked, moderated, and grades will be uploaded to KAMAR.
• It is held under real assessment conditions — any violations result in an instant Kāore i whīwhī/Not Achieved grade

• 🗓️ You have six (6) spells in which to complete your task.
  • 🏫 You may NOT work on this at home.
  • 🕰️ Students with the Extra Time SAC will be given 1 additional spell, if you choose to take it.
• 💬 You may not communicate with anybody other than your kaiako
  • 🚻 If you need to use the bathroom, let your kaiako know
  • 🚾 You will not be allocated extra time to compensate for your absence
• 🌎 You may NOT consult the web, API documentation, etc.
  • You may consult:
    • the resources posted to this website
    • the cheat sheet
    • your previous code from this and last year
    • you can use the Swift documentation from Zeal (Windows, Linux) or Dash (macOS)
      • on the school computers, you must use the portable version of Zeal
      • on your own devices, you can use the Zeal installer
• 📖 You must not submit code that you did not 100% write as your own. This includes:
  • code copied from your neighbours
  • code you get help with from outside sources (whānau, friends)
  • code generated by a large language model (Copilot, ChatGPT, etc.)

Failure to adhere to these conditions will result in an instant Kāore i whīwhī/Not Achieved grade. You will then need to reassess as part of project management.

Use advanced programming techniques to develop a computer program involves:

• writing code for a program that performs a specified task
• using advanced techniques in a suitable programming language
• setting out the program code clearly and documenting the program with comments
• testing and debugging the program to ensure that it works on a sample of expected cases

An advanced computer program:

• uses variables storing at least two types of data (e.g. numeric, text, Boolean)
• uses sequence, selection and iteration control structures
• takes input from a user, sensors, or other external source
• produces output
• uses two or more complex programming techniques

• modifying data stored in collections (e.g. lists, arrays, dictionaries)
• storing multidimensional data in collections
• creating methods, functions, or procedures that use parameters and/or return values
• responding to events generated by a graphical user interface (GUI)
• using non-trivial string manipulation
• using additional non-core libraries

Use advanced programming techniques to develop an informed computer program involves:

• documenting the program with appropriate names and comments that describe code function and behaviour
• following common conventions for the chosen programming language
• testing and debugging the program effectively to ensure that it works on a sample of both expected cases and relevant boundary cases

Use advanced programming techniques to develop a refined computer program involves:

• ensuring that the program is a well-structured, logical response to the specified task
• making the program flexible and robust
• comprehensively testing and debugging the program

The program must allow the roadside stall owner to:

• add kumara stock to the container in kilograms (up to 50kg, the most the bin can take)
• view the current stock remaining in kilograms
• view previous sales records
• show summary information for the stall owner, including the average weight sold per bag and the average amount earned per bag

The program must allow customers to:

• record a sale by entering the total weight sold and the number of bags used
  • kumara are charged at $3 per kilogram
  • each bag costs 20 cents
  • there are 5,000 bags maximum (this does not need to be tested)
  • the least amount of kumara one can purchase is a single kumara at 100 grams
  • the most amount of kumara one can purchase is the entire remaining stock, however much it is — but they must be put into bags which can hold, at most, 5 kg each
• calculate and display the kumara charge, bag charge, and total charge for the sale
• reduce the available stock when a sale is completed

You should test at least the following parts of the program, regardless of which complex programming techniques you use:

Before you submit, make sure that you have:

1. Committed and pushed/synced/published your code to GitHub.
2. Downloaded a copy of your completed code from your GitHub repository (Code -> Local tab -> Download ZIP), and attached this to your Google Classroom assignment.
   • If you only submit main.swift or SwiftPlayground.swift, I will not mark your work.
   • 
3. Filled in the testing table with at least TWENTY (20) lines of testing.
4. Turned in your Google Classroom assignment.

If you don’t publish/sync your branch and there is a problem with your submitted Google Classroom assignment, do not beg for an extension. You have been warned to commit/push/save your work properly many times before the due date.
