Is anyone even 6th form here? Pffft NCEA L2 sux. I had six exams, English, Accounting, Geography, History, Maths and Biology. Finished today, Yay!!! Man exams sucked. I will be lucky to get over 100 credits this year, fingers crossed for some good marks in Geogrpahy and History. =)
Hmm.
Well.
How did people go?
I passed all my exams. My dad worked out that I had 60% of my marks at merit, which made me happy And I now have 160something credits from L1
Thanksss and yours were great too You remind me of this lovely girl I know in year 12 this year named Jenny, she's like the world's nicest girl and she's quite a lot like you
And lololol I'm such an impatient teacher tutor person. I have no clue how to explain things because I think weirdly XD
I got um. All Excellences in Maths and English which was shocking. And in the Astronomy thing. I thought I might for Maths but wow not at English so yes. I'm thrilled stupid
Today. History (to answer cant's question) Level 3 - MY WRIST IS STILL HURTING! ARGHARGHARGH! But seriously, that exam hurt my wrists something horrible. Not only did I have a cold, but I was rushing the final resources question because of time constraints. Still, adequate essays and hopefully good enough resource answers for M/E. Next - Stats Schol on SATURDAY? W? T? F? Well, at least I'm going to see Borat after that. Hopefully.
I is Jemma XD But thank you for mistaking me for Mairanne Which topic did you do? Tudor Stewart? Cause I'm doing it next year and I'm wondering if you think its good or not
Science:
Physics...damn I found that easy...but not many other people did?! Maybe I did something wrong? I hope to get Merit and maybe if Im lucky exc.
Geology...It was alright. Hopefully a merit
Chemistry...I MADE THE DUMBEST MISTAKE IN THE STUPID CARBONATE EQUATION! I think I will be lucky to get merit, so achieved
Overal...Good exam methinks. My group of friends all left within about 5 mns of each other haha.
History:
Resources...ok stupid topic though. Hopefully M/E
Perspectives...gay. Hopefully Achieved...maybe merit if I get a supernice marker.
Essay...good....hopefully M except I kinda didnt answer some of the question. meh
NZ... OMFG WE NEVER STUDIED AID...WTF...how are we meant to do that??! definate NA
Overall...worst exam so far by a country mile.
Only one left...bioooo wooo! and its only 2 papers sooo yayyyyyy!
Geo/bio/chem: Good! I liked the Sharpeis (yeah I know I've been HSMbopping too long) and viral reproduction in bio, though I didn't like the really small spaces for diagrams. I didn't like all the "explain your reasoning" questions.
Physics: Pass please. I only did fifteen questions :|
English - Found the questions in the essays really good and feel really confident
French - Listening was ok (our teacher was so funni when she was trying to use expression in her voice ), Reading was a bit iffy when comparing answers with other people but I shall see lol.
Geography - Found it strange how little we actually had to right but other than that very good. There were a couple of questions in the skills where i might have gone wrong.
Maths - Um yer, we will see
Chem/Phys & astronomy - Found it much better than I thought it would be. The last question in the physics one threw me a bit though :s
HI! YAY! YAY! ONLY ONE LEFT AND ITS MUSIC SO IT DOESNT COUNT, IM SO HAPPY!!!
Lol the whole being locked in a room thing was so casual we were like "Ae?" cause we just went to this little cottage next door to our school which we use as a classroom, and we got to like sit outside on the grass and stuff, and people from our year were walking past and we could have easily asked them for what was in the science exam but we're good girls History was alright apart from 2.5 was a bit mentuts. *nod* Annnd yesh thats all. WHEEEEEEEEEEEE.
It took me seriously an hour to do the 20 minute paper :S Then I slept for another hour.
Then I explained that I didn\'t want to leave because that would mean class (Science, ew), and so she gave me a magazine to read for the remaining time.
ha, accelerate camp was awesome, best time of my life fully, i still have the sheets for it... awww, we were there this time last year. (do you remember a certain person trying to rap on the bus?)good times
For one of the english things, i need to write a essay about the movie Cool Runnings, with films shots, etc but i am confuzzeled so yeah. I don't care if I get every-single Math question wrong on the exam, I deserve to be in cabbage math next year.
Dear Jemmar, Good luck with history and science tomorrow Have fun being locked up in a room dreaming about new world chips
Also dear any other science people (uh...Caryl?) good luck.
And I dont think there is any other L1 history-ers here so you guys all suck. *bes a loner*
Kbye!
<3
*studies*
Chem was ok - I stayed for all 3 hours.
And Econmics SUCKED. :'( Maybe it's 'cos I forgot to eat. Or 'cos I was tired. Or 'cos I looked at the first paper and didn't know a whole page and panicked. And I don't remember writing anything. :'( And people who were doing 5 papers left before me [I only did 3 papers]
Chem was cool XD Most people left after 45 minutes (we're only doing two standards so don't be like omgosh) and I left after like 50 and I felt happy. apart from like 1 questions. So YAY!
I FORGOT TO STUDY ABOUT METAL PRODUCTIONS AND I HAVE TO LEAVE IN 10 MINUTES!! :'(
CuO + H2 --> Cu + H2O
[lab production]
Extraction of Iron Summary
Ore = Ironsand
Mineral = Titanomagnetite, or Fe3O4.TiO2
Ironsand dug up, then magnets used to extract mineral, then mineral is dried and called concentrate. Then its fed into a rotating kiln where Fe3O4 is reduced to iron by thecarbon monoxide gas produced in the kiln.
Fe3O4 + CO --> Fe + CO2
The Co2 produced can react with the coal to make more carbon monoxide
CO2 + C --> CO
Extraction of Aluminium Summary
Ore = bauxite
Mineral = Alumina, or AI2O3
*process too complicated to summarise properly*
Er ... Aluminium oxide precipitates out of some solution with Sodium hydroxide. Reduction from alumina to aluminium is done by electrolysis of molten alumina.
cathode - AI3+ ---> AI + 3e
anode - 2O2- --> O2 + 4e
Overall - 2AI2O3 --> 4AI + 3O2
Ohhhhemmmgeeeeeeee, my friend who I said was sick below has been IN HOSPITAL FOR THE LAST WEEK! She says she might be coming on tuesday...hmmmm. I hope she gets bettterrrrrrrrrrr.
ps. cd, I re-read the whole thread last weekend haha

How did people go?
I passed all my exams. My dad worked out that I had 60% of my marks at merit, which made me happy
Ummm, approx 25% A, 45% M, 30% E. *nod*
So, okay
PS Wow kim hunny that's awesome!! I'm so proud of you!
*hugs*
Hehe.
PPS You should so tutor people older than you
Thanksss and yours were great too
You remind me of this lovely girl I know in year 12 this year named Jenny, she's like the world's nicest girl and she's quite a lot like you
And lololol I'm such an impatient teacher tutor person. I have no clue how to explain things because I think weirdly XD
Lol aw yay! Go jenny! XD Hehe.
Oh maybe not then
*was so gonna fly down to Dunedin for tutoring from you* 
Congratssss Blah
I got um. All Excellences in Maths and English which was shocking. And in the Astronomy thing. I thought I might for Maths but wow not at English so yes. I'm thrilled stupid
I have three exams left in a three day block starting on Monday.
I haven't studied. I am powerless to resist the siren call of Sims.
[does best ginga impression]
GET BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL. IT IS FAR BETTER THAN THE SIMS.
WOO! *is on holiday* yayyyyy!

Which topic did you do? Tudor Stewart? Cause I'm doing it next year and I'm wondering if you think its good or not 
Crappity crap crap. I did Tudors and Stuarts - it's called Early Modern England. It's 100 years worth of history, but its easy-ish.
Oh easy-ish sounds good! Yes I think Tudors and Stuarts is what I meant XD Maybe
Lol. *really has no idea*
Science:
Physics...damn I found that easy...but not many other people did?! Maybe I did something wrong? I hope to get Merit and maybe if Im lucky exc.

My exams so far:
Computers - Very easy, easier than the mock exam
English - Found the questions in the essays really good and feel really confident
French - Listening was ok (our teacher was so funni when she was trying to use expression in her voice
), Reading was a bit iffy when comparing answers with other people but I shall see lol.

Chem/Phys & astronomy - Found it much better than I thought it would be. The last question in the physics one threw me a bit though :s
Bio is on thursday
HELP! Explain to me the density and conductance of metals? I had NOOOO idea and i did 2 chem standards yesterday :S *wahs*
I found Physics easier than the others *Strange*. ROFL PS the exam swore XD I think in the bio one? talking about cloning? I was amused. *mature*
HI! YAY! YAY! ONLY ONE LEFT AND ITS MUSIC SO IT DOESNT COUNT, IM SO HAPPY!!!

Lol when we did NCEA last year we got the whole day off.
AND we got Accelerate class camp. We're so cool. 
:geek:
All of our year 10s do the Astronomy paper
Butt omg I should have had the whole day off for English :@
ha, accelerate camp was awesome, best time of my life fully,
i still have the sheets for it... awww, we were there this time last year. (do you remember a certain person trying to rap on the bus?)good times
Good luck Level 1s plus Pigeon!
*Sits at home doing nothing*
I just woke up. xD
*High-fives*
Harry Pahdder.
You're done with exams too?
Well I have a maths one tomorrow afternoon. But I told them I wasn't turning up.
Why not?!
GOOD LUCK WAKKY! GO HARD WITH HISTORY AND SCIENCE!
GOOD LUCK TWINSTA! YOU SMELL
GOOD LUCK CARYL! STUDY NOW! XD
G'LUCK PIDGEY! GO HARD WITH HISTORY!
Only English and Maths tomorrow.
For one of the english things, i need to write a essay about the movie Cool Runnings, with films shots, etc but i am confuzzeled so yeah. I don't care if I get every-single Math question wrong on the exam, I deserve to be in cabbage math next year.
Gluck everyone doing Science and History tomorrow!
ie. Blah, Caryl, Jemmar
*cough*History*cough*me*cough*
WHICH LEVEL?!
Thanks, even though I don't do History
Dear Jemmar, Good luck with history and science tomorrow
Have fun being locked up in a room dreaming about new world chips 
Also dear any other science people (uh...Caryl?) good luck.
And I dont think there is any other L1 history-ers here so you guys all suck. *bes a loner*
Kbye!
<3
*studies*
Do 1 paper Science people count?
Good luck to youuuu 
Aw thanks you
*feels special* I should go learn my essays now XD Good luck to you toooo!!! think of me when you're eating nice food
byeeeeeeeeeee
Ew at mariannedecide having no more exams.
