You arn't entered into the standard, so you don't get the credits. You don't 'fail' or 'Not achieve' (PC is the aim of the game) you're failures are hidden/ignored.

208741	2004-01-21 09:24:00	Oh dear...not true The unfortunate thing for most of us is that our failures aren't hidden in real life. We just have to learn to live with them - and overcome them. ,	Laura (43)

Well, for one, its not in my mailbox, I check my email everyday, so I should know. :-) Two, I look on the internet because it comes 2 days earlier than the post, so I have been told. Three, my Grandma is going (gone?) rather insane I think, ringing me up everyday, asking if I have my results yet. hehee. Not quite that bad.	mejobloggs (264)
208743	2004-01-21 09:27:00	But I assume you WERE joking?	Laura (43)
208744	2004-01-21 09:30:00	You mean I should have said your letterbox? I mean the one the postie puts that stuff in.	Laura (43)
208745	2004-01-21 09:48:00	A letterbox for those folks must mean their inbox :p I'm estimating I got around 138 credits (checked once on the website, can't be bothered going back, and I haven't got Adobe Reader installed to view the PDF I downloaded), as I sat Maths and History last year, got 44 credits, and did the rest this year - all passed except extended novel study (which I'm not quite sure on), and I got 26 credits for my science combination. And why I haven't checked the actual physical letterbox residing outside the front of our house? We had our mail held and it won't be delivered until tomorrow :D	agent (30)

Sorry as I student who flinched school in 2002 & who did exams under old system (when the New system was just coming in :D) I just have to LOL :^O at NCEA & hehe at any one doing it. The reason why I have to LOL or hehe at NCEA & any one doing it, is because when I completed school in 2002 most of the teaches & students / parents did not really understand it. So it will be very interesting to see what happens in a few years time when the first lot of students who did the complete NCEA range from 5 Form - 7 Form when they go out and try and get a job. Also it will be interesting to see what happens when the first lots of students who did the mix of old & new systems, when they go out and try and get a job. ]:) ;\	stu140103 (137)

208748	2004-01-21 10:24:00	Forgot to mention, that is 5th form only, this year she will be in the 6th. Cheers Billy 8-{) :D :D [pre][b]I'm still grinning, ear to ear!	Billy T (70)
