| 208729 | 2004-01-21 00:37:00 | I got 134, with a possible 6 more, because it said I was absent, but I was not. | mejobloggs (264) | ||
| 208730 | 2004-01-21 02:51:00 | Wow 134 credits, nice one dude! I got 131 credits, which I'm pleased with considering I did no study. I got 22/24 for Accounting, 24/24 for Economics, 24/24 for English, 21/24 for Geography, 21/24 for Maths and 19/24 for Science. All my results were pretty expected, the areas where I slipped were papers where I hesitated and changed my answers towards the end. I thought I would fail Accounting but I'm glad I did well in that as my mum is a partner in an accounting firm lol. | Craig (448) | ||

| 208732 | 2004-01-21 03:59:00 | Letterbox - a friend of mine got his results early this morning in the mail, well before he even tried to log in. | somebody (208) | ||
| 208733 | 2004-01-21 05:46:00 | My School Cert and 6th Form Cert results were via mail, A's B's C's etc and a % mark. No PCs to check, actually the only PCs were in the computer room where the geeks went at lunchtime - and if I remember right they were beige terminals with green screens. <Waits for the cries of "you were lucky, we didn't even have power"> There were none of these incomprehensible subjects (technolgy soft, apply design principles ... what are those??). Good to see that Accounting, Economics, English, Geography, Maths and Science are still there though. What does 24/24 mean .. 100%? Wow Craig, well done mate :) Maybe I am getting old - wife is doing a grad diploma in teaching course this year, I shudder at what she will have to get her head around. At least computers don't talk back, much. Congrats to all the PF1'ers that passed their exams this year :D |

| 208734 | 2004-01-21 06:30:00 | That means I got 24 credit of the possible 24 credits for that subject. Each subject has say 6 topics, each worth a different credit value. If you pass a topic you get that credit value in full. So the 24 means I basically past all aspects of the subject but doesn't give an indication of what level the pass was eg. achieved, merit, excellence. Thanks mate, I'm pretty stoked with my results. Especially since I have high footsteps to follow - my older brother got 4 scholarships for bursary and is doing aeronautical engineering, and my sister is doing a joint degree of law, history, politics and art!!! :S | Craig (448) | ||
| 208735 | 2004-01-21 07:15:00 | hmmm i just got on, it went pretty fast too... My theory is that if i do well i'll say i'm smart, if i do badly i'll blame NCEA - you can't lose! 100% for physics (all excellences), i'm pretty happy, although i'm sure they messed up my maths mark ;) Time for 7th form or University... decisions decisions - David |

| 208736 | 2004-01-21 07:27:00 | nice bro, nice! | Craig (448) | ||
| 208737 | 2004-01-21 07:43:00 | Dave - wot a tank!! i thought i did ok getting all merits for physics, but 2 get all excellences?? wow.... had a guy in my class this year that will probably do that.... im like you, i think i did better than i got in maths..... |

| 208738 | 2004-01-21 09:05:00 | This is an interesting thread for those of us brought up under old systems - without needing so far to understand the new. Good to make an effort to do that now, considering there's been criticism of the system (as there always was of previous ones) and we have a bunch of young people here to ask. Thanks Jester for the questions (And yes, my lot did have power - but no computers ....even with green screens ) So results meant the mailbox and percentages. And it was School Certificate and University Entrance. And you either passed or you failed, depending on your totals. The requirement was 200 marks in 4 subjects.. Normally you sat 5 subjects & counted your top 4., giving you a spare. Pride warranted not merely a pass, however, but skiting of total marks amongst your friends (So what else has changed?) At the academic school I attended, girls were expected to pass. What counted was how well they passed.... So how do I compare that with the levels of today? And who decided 24 was a good number? Thanks Craig for explaining what it means to you students in terms of measurable results. Anyone know what it means to the rest of us outside the NCEA? |
