NCEA is really flawed.
I took mainly externals. I could have earned a max of 35 internal credits. I only got 27 as I failed maths. My school put my in the highest maths class even though I had no prerequisites for the course :facepalm: And they wouldn't let me out of it.
They also put me in the highest English class, without the prerequisites, and wouldn't let me out of it :facepalm:
Most of my friends took a more balanced option and had pasted NCEA before they even sat the exams.
NCEA needs fixing IMO
And like others said, some credits are ridiculous. I earned 6 credits in economics for copying and pasting news articles then summing them up. It took me 30 mins. I also earned 3 credits in accounting for about 6 hours work.
Does that seem right?
