Scaling.. (1 Viewer)

[wixxy2348]

I do General Maths, am ranked 1st out of 67 students and have been getting between 98% and 100% on every assessment so far this year (compared with the course mean of around 50-60%).

I'm just worried that even if I ace the exam, it'll still scale down. Does anyone know whether or not having done General will affect me HUGELY (i.e. jeopardise any hope of me getting a UAI of 90 if I'm doing similarly well in all my other subjects)?

Cheers!

回复: Scaling..

Scaling only effects you if you perform badly.

your confidence tells me you'll go well, and thus- scaling has no effect.

Cause I tried putting in different marks for General Maths into the UAI Calculator and even if you get a 85 for this subject, it'll scale you down a lot and may not even be counted if you do 12 units.

Re: 回复: Scaling..

Like tommykins said, it only really affects you if you do badly. If your marks are averaging about 90 then you'll get above 90. My marks averagedin the 80s and I ended with 94 last year. Stigma against General Maths is totally unwarranted

But Maths is really just a hard subject!

well u have 2 remember that it pulls you down
so if you're doing ok in 2u but know you can put more effort in and pull (say) 80s - 90s then you're best of staying with 2u
