it is very fair because during winter it is only 2 weeks! NCEA is exams i guess, you have to pass a certain number of exams and you get credits for those. it is my first year this year but i have 16crd all ready. you need 80 to pass level one so i am doing pretty well. there are three levels 1 (yr11), 2 (yr12) and 3 (yr13).

Just relax and you should be fine, I hope they go all right.
