Tried to send you a hotmail about being recorded absent from my exams, not sure if it sent or not, so I'll just post here as well ( ... )

I think a big problem with NCEA is the subject groupings for credits. This is intrinsic to the system, and it's creating huge problems.

It seems as if my calculus and statistics credits have been recorded under one 'Mathematics' subject. So I have over 40 credits in one subject, but I actually need two subjects with atleast 20 and 16 credits.

Another example is with art. One of my friends couldn't gain university entrance because his art credits were recorded under two different headings, so he has two useless subjects with less than 14 credits each. I'll forward your message on to him, as he has also been recorded absent from atleast one exam I believe.

Also, as a friend just pointed out, we actually sat seperate exams for stats and calc...

I initialy thought the problem lay with the schools' selection of credits - they just assumed that as calculus and statistics have traditionally been seperate subjects that they would remain so. After all, they are about as closely related as history and geography, where both are social sciences, stats and calc are both maths.

Now I'm quite certain NCEA has simply made another mistake.

Hello, ratter here from the Window. You probably don't know who I am, but can I friend you?

I haven't had any experience with NZ, so I'm a bit useless on this. Sorry. :(

Sure, friend away.
