SamH Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Merit Endorsed Design, bombed the rest basically. Still got level 2, no big deal for me really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#!CrunchBang Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 It doesn't really matter except if you want to do a degree where they select the best candidates like med school or engineering. For those going on to uni, do what will make you happy, not what will make you money. Congrats on your results though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Li@m Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Just out of curiosity, what do you want to have a career/ line of work in Sam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Hoping to get into social media with a hint of design and photography, combining the big 3 things I'm good at really. Don't need any fancy science marks or anything, that's what I like about that industry, it's more laid back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 For those even older, not only did you sit School Cert, but you had to sit 5 subjects and pass all 5 or you didn't get the certificate at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I think you could sit 5or6 but you had to pass 4 including English to get SC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepsnana Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 You sit 5 or 6 still, but now if you don't get enough combined credits, then you don't get NCEA Level 1, 2, or 3. Each subject is individually graded, so you can pass a subject in Level 2 but not get Level 2 overall. I think Level One is like School Cert (5th Form?) and Level Three is like Bursary (7th Form).

Squirt Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 NCEA is pathetic. You get 6 subjects with each having about 24 credits each. 6x24=144 credits. You need 80 to pass or 60 if you got over 100 in the previous NCEA level. So say you got 100 credits in L1 and got 60 in L2 then you have L1 and L2... It's pretty hard to fail really, you can fail 64 credits and still pass :facepalm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I fear that the education system is getting worse instead of better. When you consider that most of the really clever improvements in society have been achieved by people who would not have been cosidered clever at school you have to wonder where the education system is heading. I have a friend who new he wanted to be a commercal artist when he left school and completely failed every other subject but got 98% for SC art and has even been an international judge and very successful commercially.He was and is very clever but only interested in art and martial arts (now 8th dan at karate). Look at branston--total failure at school in everything but sport, Einstein sent home with a note saying he was incapable of learning. Silicone valley is full of misfits from the present education system. Makes you wonder. There may be hope for me yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 NCEA is pathetic When I saw my results online I thought I'd failed level 2 for sure but then it said I passed so I'm quite surprised. It's not all about having this many credits at this level to get this job, doesn't matter if I got excellence endorsed for all 3 levels if I suck at designing magazine covers, I still won't get a job there.

Squirt Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Yeah :thup: L1 I got 188 credits... 54 excellence 78 merits and 56 achieves... :rotf: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#!CrunchBang Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I was the first year of ncea... crap system. Also I don't think you young people understand that school cert you had 5 or 6 subjects and there was only a single exam at the end of the year for each class. No achievement standards and not splitting into multiple papers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
