| 281116 | 2004-10-15 11:16:00 | I remember doing that question. So we are both doing Level 1. Yes, NCEA is strange I agree. What ever was wrong with the way things were in Year 9 - 92% or whatever instead of "Merit" - what the s*t does that tell you (until you go thru the test) George |

| 281121 | 2004-10-15 19:28:00 | I hope you feel very old... :P I'm under 16 George. For those curious on CIE (Cambridge International Examinations): It's an international qualification and is quite reputable. There are three general levels of it, the IGCSE level, the AS level and A2 level. Usually IGCSE is done in fifth form (I'm doing it one year earlier) and from what I gather, many universities require some numerical qualification... a D grade of better in IGCSE does suffice. AS and A2, once you've done both, combine to form an 'A level' qualification. I'm sure many of you would have heard of it. What I enjoy about Cambridge which is better than the NCEA system is that there's none of that Achieved, Merit, Excellence rubbish. You just get the good ol' percent and that counts towards a grade. :) From what I gather, CIE still seems to be in its infancy in NZ as far as being widely used. If you want more info, head to the CIE Online Site (http://www.cie.org.uk). Have a browse through some of the syllabus of some subjects and compare to NCEA. You'll see that it's a lot more involved. |

| 281122 | 2004-10-15 20:10:00 | G, The IT landscape is chockfull of debris from doomed (and need I mention horribly expensive) projects many of which can be attributed (but not limited) to a failure to grasp the fundamental questions. There is a whole industry of toolsets aimed at reducing confusion brought about by vagaries of language and users who say one thing yet mean another. T |

| 281123 | 2004-10-15 20:47:00 | Has all this got anything to do with the Native American Indian Rule? That rule was made up by an Indian who had three wives and, when they slept in their teepee on animal skins, one of them was as good the other two put together. So he reckoned that "the squaw on the hippoptamus hide was equal to the sum of the squaws on the other two hides". |
