some of you, not all of you, are a little confused, and thats alright, i'll lay down the facts.


Firstly, skipping rankings in the class, the first stage is the alignment, generally every on is aligned down in Ancient in total by 0.8.

Secondly, then you are scaled up, i think last year it was 22.2.

Therefore yes ancient is scaled up, but it is aligned down, any questions?

Different mate, firstly aligning is what they do to get everyone perfectly within the 0-100 range, scaling is what they do to sort out the variation of difficulty between each subjects.


Is that alright as an answer, or is confusing?, i can explian it again if you want
