Posted: Thu Jan 17, 2008 10:13 amWhoop whoop, i actually managed to pass level 3!
Now this just goes to show that it is acceptable to do nothing all year, do no study and still pass
, not that id recommend that to anyone of course, rather stressful

Total for me is 176 (incl. 20 from last year).
10 US credits
40ish A credits
60ish M credits
20ish E credits
I did better in the externals than I thought I would have, which is cool.

Posted: Thu Jan 17, 2008 11:57 amNot as happy as I wanted to be... but not too bad.
43 achieved credits (13 standards)
67 merit credits (21 standards)
31 excellence credits (9)
141 total credits at L1. I spose that's not so bad, maybe I'll get something out of any appeals I make.

Posted: Thu Jan 17, 2008 12:03 pmConsidering you only need what, 80 credits per level to 'pass' with 8 English and 8 Mathematics? Weldone you guys - Oh and the dude who didn't do anything in Year 13 - Its so true - Breeze to pass 
Posted: Thu Jan 17, 2008 12:17 pmIt's been many moons since I did high school exams. Too late to wish you all good luck.
Take solace in the fact that I failed a lot of School Cert & Bursary Exams but I managed to go on to University and fail even worse (5% in Algebra) but was able to buckle down get a degree and am now quite succesful in my field.
School exam results are important for the 2 years after you finish school - as an employer attitude is everything. Knowing how to learn is more important than knowing all of the answers. Hell I still don't know what a conjunctive adjective is yet I present expert evidence to the Environment Court!
Good luck for this coming year and what your results will lead you on to.

Posted: Thu Jan 17, 2008 12:18 pmHow did u do in Physics?
Posted: Thu Jan 17, 2008 2:04 pmLvl 1
114 Credits total I think..
70 Achieved
34 Merit
10 Excellence
Passed Lvl 1 with Merit Overall
It would've been more educational to study instead of going on a truck rally of the south island.. Yeah Right
Oh and 2 Lvl 2 Maths credits
Couldn't care less, it's over now

17 Achieved credits;
82 Merit credits;
74 Excellence credits

Not quite as good as I was hoping for, but still pretty alright nonetheless

Posted: Thu Jan 17, 2008 7:58 pmI'm with Deaneb on this one. I guess when my kids are ready to sit them it will make sense.
But well done guys. I at least remember what it was like when my School C results arrived.
