NCEA results released today
New 8:00AM Thursday January 17, 2008

More than 139,000 teenagers around the country are due to get their NCEA results today. Result notices were mailed yesterday and from mid-afternoon candidates can see their marks on the NZQA website. It will be the first time result notices will show whether candidates have qualified for Certificate Endorsement having achieved a number of Merit or Excellence level credits.[/quote]

The results were available about 2pm last year, so it should be similar this year

[Alex]

Oh ok, I thought they weren't coming out for another week or so.

Moment of truth...

Whoop 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

[Jimmy]

Our mail has come, but there were no results with it. Looks like I'll have to wait anothor day, I'm not to concerned, but would really like to know how I did do.

Thanks
James

[Jimmy]

Thanks
James

Its up on the NZQA website now...

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.

[ZK-Brock]

Not 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.

Considering 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

It'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.

How did u do in Physics?

[victor_alpha_charlie]

Lvl 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

We did a Level 2 internal for some reason.

[Mattnz]

14 Unit standard credits;
17 Achieved credits;
82 Merit credits;
74 Excellence credits
=187 credits (including 28 from last year)

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

[ZK-Brock]

Jebus not a bad haul Matt!

[Bandit]

I'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.
