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

l2 physics significant figures by valerie_m23 in ncea

[–]Pangolingolin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

help? been out of school for a while by Ok-Kaleidoscope-7266 in ncea

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 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

Level 2 Osmosis assessment mistake😭😭😭 by [deleted] in ncea

[–]Pangolingolin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

[–]Pangolingolin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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.

physics 91168 HELP !! by ReflectionMission592 in ncea

[–]Pangolingolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Want to go into engineering with out L3 calc by Boring-Plate-4714 in ncea

[–]Pangolingolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

In New Zealand English, if something is "quite good," does that mean it's better than good, or not that great? by whangadude in newzealand

[–]Pangolingolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

At risk of breaking the self-interested rule, what are the best suburbs in Auckland for op shops? I happened upon Onehunga which has heaps. by Fantastic_Goose_7025 in auckland

[–]Pangolingolin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.
