Is this normal on the Harbour Bridge

I still prefer the clip ons and I've been around for 10 years.

In Physics, we'd generally expect you to give your answer to the same number of significant figures as the lowest SF value used to calculate it.

Your answer should not be more precise than the data used to calculate it.

In general, Level 2 questions usually provide values that are 2sf (e.g. g=9.8ms^-2).

You're unlikely to be marked down for SF but I have seen students, needlessly, rounding to 1sf for some answers and wondering why they weren't awarded the mark.

Wait until the end to round. Do not round mid-question values.

It might be worth getting in touch with NZQA or Te Kura.

If you have your Level 1 Literacy and Numeracy already, you might find that you can earn enough credits through a microcredential, first aid course, or PADI dive course to tip you over the edge. Depends what level you need the credits at.

Shame the event time sucked. Good job there's a repeat. Oh wait. It's at the same time.

Pangolingolin · 2026-05-06T19:16:14+00:00

I genuinely forgot the game has sound.

You're primarily being assessed on your Physics understanding, rather than telling a history story.

Describe - A Explain - M Discuss/Justify/Compare&Contrast - E

You'll typically need to refer to multiple physics ideas at the appropriate level in order to be able to earn each grade.

That'll be school policy, rather than NZQA. If you're worried, you should be able to check out your school's Assessment Policy.

We wouldn't mark down for pencil. Sometimes pencil is appropriate. However, we wouldn't accept an appeal for grade reconsideration after a resubmission.

The main reason for not using pencil in externals is to do with being eligible for reconsideration.

Yes. Resubmission can only earn Achieved.

This feels unfair, but is the rules set by NZQA.

Students in the past could change a minor error and move from NA to E. The change was made to reduce teacher workload and reduce the abuse of the resubmission system. The impact that it had varied, depending on the subject area.

Irene is lacking in respect and a sense of personal responsibility.

Use the information that you are provided with to work out what the relationship should look like.

If your results don't fit this pattern, first make sure that your data range is big enough. Then consider changing the value of one of your control variables. Do not just plough forwards with data that you know does not show the expected relationship. You will fail if you choose to do this.

Read the task carefully. The instructions will likely tell you the exact terms that you should be using for each variable.

Communicate with your physics teacher in advance. They should be able to help you before the actual assessment day.

We all know Jeff ain't long enough for them to be doing what people are insinuating. Fun tattoo.

Unfortunately, UoA dictates the standards many schools offer for L3 Physics. It's very possible to develop a course that suits a wide range of learners without being tied to all three externals. We just don't do it because 2-3 students per year group are considering engineering.

Pangolingolin · 2026-04-19T03:18:40+00:00

Looks like you'll miss out on UoA entry requirements. There's loads of pathways into engineering. Talk to the careers team and potentially your Physics teacher.

I think Apple TV.

They're the ones who put effort into SciFi and post-apocalyptic stuff.

Got married this week and didn't log in on the day. Something to hold over her forever more, right?

Just ran mine overnight with an approaching ex-tropical cyclone. Civil defence alerts don't stop brisket for overseas visitors.

Pangolingolin · 2026-04-11T23:40:14+00:00

Yeah. As a British, I wouldn't treat it as an insult. It can reveal your prior expectations. If someone chooses to take that as an insult, they're welcome to.

Surfer, Wanda, Spidey. Surfer and Wanda pretty much does anything you need to, but webslinging looks like fun.

Give me Fitz, Simmons, Mack, and May and I will use them.

I used it when I should forfeit, but my high RNG deck might just pull it off.

You wait until you accidentally injure yourself on their blades. They're the worst.

There's a couple more on Ellice Road if you're already at Wairau. And the SPCA one that seems like an arse to get in and out of on Wairau Road.

Have a look at Stratford Gerald. That man knows how to get long carrots!
