External Exam results

In NZ, students sit external exams at the end of Yr 11, Yr 12 and Yr 13 ie the last three years of school. Not all assessments are external, there are a number that are internally assessed. There are three levels of "passing" Achieved, Achieved with Merit and Achieved with Excellence. To Achieve, a student must get 80 credits including some Literacy and Numeracy. To get Merit, 50 of those credits must be at the Merit level and the same for Excellence.

Look at this photo of Ross' results - I know it's not easy to read, but there it is Achievement (Level 1) with excellence

I am so proud of him! He got 52 Excellence credits, 36 merits and a total of 179 credits with not one failed!!
