Adjust your attitude now before you screw up the rest of your life too.

a minimum of 42 credits at level 3 or higher on the National Qualifications Framework, including a minimum of 14 credits at level 3 or higher in each of two subjects from an approved subject list (htthttp://www.nzqa.govt.nz/ncea/for-students/ue/ue-approved-subjects.html), with a further 14 credits at level 3 or higher taken from no more than two additional domains on the National Qualifications Framework or approved subjects

796905 2009-08-01 10:01:00 yeah george12 correct me if i am wrong

but overall i will need only 75 credits because
I mean i can use those 42 credits that they want for university entry and use a extra 33 credits.

so 42 + 33 = 75 credits. It is just I do not have much time you know please correct me if i am wrong

You are making very little sense.

Do you have ANY level 3 credits or not? If not, you need to find a way to meet BOTH the UE requirement AND your course's requirements.

Remember that obscure unit standards won't be "approved subjects", and won't give you the crucial maths and english credits you require.

Why not take our advice and talk to the university? They might have a way through neither you nor us know about!

796906 2009-08-01 11:41:00 Ballicker rather than waste time trying to get NCEA credits doing shitall and learning 1+1, I highly suggest you do what I did and take UoA's TFC program which is only a year. It gives you a UE recognised by all universities in NZ.

You take 8 pre-uni level papers, 4 each semester. English and maths are compulsory, then you get to choose from four options; chemistry, biology, geography and......something else I forgot. What they teach you in the first semester is basic but it sets you in the right direction - those who asses around will definitely not survive the course; even though it is much easier than the real uni papers. Those with at least some determination to continue to a bachelors degree will almost definitely pass TFC.

It is only $500 for the whole year, and in that year you are still eligible for a student allowance and living costs if need be. Another benefit to the TFC program is that you get to familiarise yourself with the university and all the services they provide. You can of course make more new friends, though I suggest you make friends with those who you think are able to pull their asses together during the year; you don't want to be pulled down by a lazy ass.

ATM your attitude to 'rush' it with minimal work is not promising and will DEFINITELY let you down when you're in uni doing the real papers. Do the TFC for a year to build up your confidence and shape up your new attitude towards studying for a bachelors degree.

796908 2009-08-01 13:54:00 So far I have about 29 ncea level 3 credits and i need a rank score of 150 to get into btech information technology in university of auckland so i need 46 level 3 credits.

umm correct me if i am wrong but i am sure i can use my university entry credits for my rank score as well. I do not think that you need University entry credits (42 lvl3) + another 150 rank score points. I think i can just use 42 of my level 3 credits for my rank score. Correct me if i am wrong.

796909 2009-08-01 15:13:00 I don't understand this NCEA and credits stuff.

Maybe because I was a "mature" student when I studied at Auckland uni (about 9 years ago) there weren't any such requirements. (I didn't even finish high school!) All I needed was a clean police record and some good character references. (I studied for a B.ed - Bachelor of Education)
