Is it worth it going to Ruse just for agriculture? (1 Viewer)

you can see even ancient history is 99.95, that's remarkable.

all this implies is agriculture is an absolutely dog shit subject with one of the worst scaling.

And I'm sure many in James Ruse are targetting a 99.95, which would be impossible if agriculture counted.

I'm sure 95% of people in James Ruse DID NOT INTEND to do blue collar farming and agriculture stuff.

People purely picked James Ruse for its academics.

ok? no? if ur not good at ag, dont do ag. if you like ag, do it, its not that deep, it clearly enables people to still achieve highly

obviously mx2 and other stem subjects attract more capable students, thus taking more of the higher bands– this doesnt mean ag 'pulls you down', if you do well, ur atar will reflect it

Even then, you shouldn't be doing subjects that have an atar cap at all. All that implies is that it scales absolutely horribly, which is evident and visualsed in the graph.

scaling is most helpful if you're not planning on getting a 100 on any exams - that is pretty much everybody.

There is no such thing as an ATAR cap. The “maximum” ATAR is NOT the maximum possible ATAR. It is the highest observed ATAR in that cohort of students (i.e. of a “sample”). It is definitely possible for a student to choose Agriculture and get 99.95. It just doesn’t happen often due to student selection biases.

Do not confuse correlation and causation when interpreting statistics. Also, be aware of your personal biases in trying to twist your interpretation of statistics to suit a particular narrative.
