193945 2003-11-26 09:58:00 Cool, what subject did you do? Well.. for some reason, we're still expected to do work and complete assignments, etc. Because in theory, we're fourth formers :p ~~~~~ s y ~~~~~ (2054)

That was the policy used last year when NCEA was been rolled out and implemented. It was changed towards the end of the year after schools had ~3 terms to try it and then submit their opinions in respect to what's hot and what's not with the new scheme.
Now you can fail and gain excellence upon resit.

193948 2003-11-26 19:48:00 That's what I thought too.

But I'd assume there would be some level of misunderstanding about how the whole system works among teachers.

193949 2003-11-26 19:58:00 oh ok... now imagine how happy the people who did School cert would have been if they failed, and were able to resit and get 90%... somebody (208)
193950 2003-11-26 20:21:00 Excellences are amied at the the top 5% of new zealand

And then achievement is aimed at about 65%
and then merit is 30%

or it is something like that.
I only failed one internal this year at that was P.E internal - Now don't get me wrong i love sport and physical activity, but it was crap, writing and stuff for p.e

dammit

193951 2003-11-26 20:45:00 English was ok, it was economics that killed me, you had to give a reason for every flippen answer, and I ran out of a lot of time.

I am generally a bit slow when it comes to exams, because stress just kills my brain, and I can't even work out simple problems, I gotta stare at it for ages.

Bleeeargh.

193952 2003-11-26 21:42:00 I use cheat codes:
1) When I'm playing game, and i'm stuck at a point where I can't pass no matter what - and I either give up on playing the game - never play it agian, or use a code to pass the point - and continue to play the game.
2) I have clocked the game, or played it so much that it's no longer fun, I will use cheats - just to make it a little more funner - and playable.

Take AoE2 - I played all the campaigns on that - no cheats (i loved that game :D) after i had done that (and purchased the expansion pack) i used to play deathmatch's and that using the cheats - teh cars, photon man etc - just for a bit more fun..


As for online games - I've never played a game over the net - i've tried - but no luck - as I'm on dail up
