jimbob Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 i was the last year to do bursary. although even bursary was a bit bs - an a bursary covered the range 300 - 480 / 500 (the sum of your %s for the top 5 subjects, most only did 5 tho) you could not get 100% in bursary. scaled to out of 96, unless you were top in the country, and significantly better / more eloquent than the 2nd in the country, in which case you could get 97. ah well, i got my A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penguinleo Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 But the number of credits one can gain will differ from what another student gains as all subjects vary in total credit number. It also depends on the school. To see a contrast it should be compared by who gained the highest percentage of the highest achievement level, in this case, excellences, out of their total number of tests sat.

Cricketman Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 the other problem is the idea of pass/fail, whereas if it were %, you might get 48% (50% passmark per-say) whereas in NCEA youd just get a NA, could be, and was depressing... compared to Knowing that you nearly got there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
