[Ultimate]

Its even better than english by a long shot

 

[CoYLiE]

yeh but if you know that there's no way in hell that you're gonna beat the state average it's probably a good idea... cos the scaling probably wouldn't benefit you

 

[Ultimate]

That's correct coylie. You have to perform above average to get the advantage of the scaling

 

[Mr Wiggle]

i think u need about 75 in maths and scaling starts 2 help but anything below that than no point

 

[Ultimate]

That's about right.

For easier subjects you need a mark in the vicinity of the top 1 or 2 percent of the state in order to be unaffected by the scaling mechanisms.

 

[Big Willy]

Yeah ultimate is right

i dropped from adv maths at the end of year 11. my yearly exam mark was 24% coz i just didnt have the motivation to spend the time on it. i topped general maths this year with marks more than likely in the 90s. was it a good move?

comparing the two marks ... most definitely ... scaling cant save you from 24% ... so it was a good move ...

Hey I'm Adam... did yr 7-12 at Killarney Heights High School (in killarney, near forest, in sydney - like half way between dee why and chatswood).

Subjects:

2U Advanced English
Ext.1 English
2U Maths
2U IPT
2U SDD
2U Physics

(and in year 11 and 1/2 of year 12 I did Ext.1 Maths..... killed too much of my time so that went bye bye! so thankful i did - as a direct result my 2u maths mark went up 50% due to the amount of extra time i had to spend on it)

 

[profernity]

Nervously waiting results...

In Year 12 I did

Extension II Maths
Extension II English
Physics
Chemistry

I went to Fort St High School (government selective), Petersham
