it's just that basically EVERYTHING gets scaled down, so the terms "scales up" or "scales down" have become relative - like when people say oh, 3u maths/languages etc scales really well, they just mean that comparatively, it changes ur hsc mark into something only a LITTLE BIT less, from which they make your uai, compared to say dnt or something, which typically scales worse. scaling basically shifts all the marks down a bit, but some subjects more than others, based on the cohort. i think.
