Nope, I don't really wanna talk about it.

GPAs:
French 81
History 80
English 75
Physics 67
Calculus 58

... I suppose I got them all.

Anyway, good things: I TOTALLY GOT AN EXCELLENCE AND A MERIT FOR THE HISTORY ESSAYS I PWN YOU. <3

And, and, I didn't get French schol but
I GOT ENGLISH SCHOL

OMG

!!

So yeah. *thrilled*

Bad things (only one, really) I failed two calc papers. >.< I really thought I'd done better than that. So bleeyah. But, I got 13 credits for it.. kinda annoys me because it's not 14 but it's enough. And that was all I failed.

Yay for you! What exactly do the numbers mean? I'm trying to become culturally enhanced. :-P GPA stands for Grade Point Average, I think (it does over here), but ours only goes to 4.0.

Well, GPA is Grade Point Average here too, but they're most easily thought of in tersm of percentages. We have four grades- Excellence, about 95-100% or percentile, Merit which covers about 90 to about 65, Achieved which is the basic pass from 45 to 65, and not achieved which is all the failing marks. It's easiest to just say the GPA because each subject is split into a lot of different areas called "Achievement Standards" and those grades are taken and have stuff done to them to produce your GPA, which is your overall mark for your whole subject.

Um, yeah, it's confusing because this new system, NCEA, it's totally off its head. :P It'll get more standard here, at least, I hope eventually.

So yeah, 100 would be all excellences. *shrug* because we don't have real percentages, or marks out of anything at all- it's jsut graded- it's kinda hard to make the direct comparision, but it's an okay one.

The grade averages are to do with how many credits each achiievement standard is worth and what your grades in them were.

[miriamus.livejournal.com]

More information - some achievement standards are worth more than others, so your mark in a standard worth say six credits will affect your GPA more than if it were worth two.

Oh, and a little bit more- when we used to have percantages marks, my level was considered difficult enough that an A would be 65%, which sounds like nothing, I know. But Bursary is supposed to be really difficult.
