Business Studies = quite poor in general
Food Technology = poorer than Business Studies
Ancient History = basically same as Business Studies
Economics = good scaling
Studies of Religion = which unit? 1 or 2? But both have similar scaling...but higher scaling than Business Studies, Food Technology and Ancient History
Advanced English = good scaling but slightly worse than Economics.

Wow, that's lazy...you could have at least asked for help instead of dumping your subjects and expecting a response.

BTW, in general, the harder subjects scale better, right?

NOPE

Scaling = general calibre of the students

Higher the scaling, the better calibre of the students.

I thought advanced english > economics.
Economics is poor in comparison with sciences, and english is slightly worse thans sciences.

nah, advanced english = about 30.5/100
economics = about 31.2/100

but techinically it's not really a scaling. it's just a average scaled mark...in terms of scaling even adv english = standard english

and actually eco beats physics, bio, earth and environmental science and senior SCIENCE (ironic)

I mean scaling as in which aligned mark went to a certain scaled mark.
I'll check 2007 A3:
48 in eco went to 46.7, 45.5 in eco went to 42.3
47.5 in eng went to 47.2, 44.5 in eng went to 42.6

Even if you got a lower mark in adv eng it scales up higher than in eco.

Scaling of ENGadv>eco from that

physics....
47 to 46.3, 44.5 to 41.7
wow phys scales worse than engadv. but better than eco.

THis is the reason i don't look at scaled means but rather the A3 table.

Yeah, that's fair enough. That's actually more accurate.
