Sorry, no. I chose what i enjoy and got a UAI of 69.65. If you enjoy and and am SURE that you will get good enough marks for it not to affect your UAI, then go for it, but if you will be better of with a higher scaling subject that you will like only a little less but will still get good marks, go for that :p

Oh, and there is a scaling thingy here: http://www.boredofstudies.org/scaledmeans.php

Im pretty sure drama doesnt scale up, but only slightly down..

Thanks for the help Gummi bear ^^, my sister actually does dancing as a hobby, and she's quite talented at it, which was why she was considering the scaling too. Anyway thanks again. :)

I didn't choose Drama because of scaling, I chose it because it was my favourite subject. But what jaihson said is true, if you do well in your subjects, then you'll be fine.

yeah i knew when i chose it that the scaling isnt always the best...but really, if you do well and put in the effort it's nothing to worry about.
