Also depends on the school of course. i know a few who did pretty badly, and yeah it would be the school rather than the qualification, which is ironic for all the fuss parents make about NCEA being useless and getting their kids into schools offering cambridge instead	motorbyclist (188)

Oh and live in the most absolute rubbish tip place possible, if it isn't messy then mess it up so you can't live without a gas mask . Serial though, my gf started uni when she was 14, so I guess there isn't an age limit .	rob_on_guitar (4196)

Usually if you are in the top classes throughout high school, you are offered opportunities to be involved in Uni papers and higher levels of NCEA much earlier than normal. If you're taking any scholarship level papers and you end up doing well in them, I think you'd definitely be looking at special consideration, otherwise you take the same path that everyone else has to.

Half of this year's batch are my friends and they all have to go every single day for boring lectures for 8 hours telling them things they already know . If they miss even a single day, they get kicked out of AP :lol:	beeswax34 (63)
