Subjects below in my sig. I absolutely adore them all so I'm not dropping any, but I'm not clear on the scaling for each subject, could anybody clear it up for me so I know what to expect?

Thanks in advance :)

EDIT: Almost forgot, I come from a school which I wouldn't say is too fantabulous (not sure where to find rankings). How much will this affect my mark even if I (hopefully!) kick hiney in the exams?
Cheers.

Scaling changes every year, so you can't be to sure of how it may affect your subjects when you do the HSC exams for them next year. Here's the page for scaling in the years 2001-2003:

If you get first rank in your subjects, then pretty much your HSC and UAI is dependant on how well you go in the HSC external exams. Your school will not affetc your marks if you are able to rank first in the subjects.

Thanks for that. Does anybody know how I can find what my school was ranked last year?
