Modern History is scaled a bit better than Food Technology, but you should choose subjects that suit your skill set - if you like Modern go with it, if you like Food Tech go with it.
Here is a list that shows the scaling trends of all the subjects since the new HSC was introduced. http://www.boredofstudies.org/scaledmeans.php
EDIT:LOL! Time warp *and* we ended up saying the same thing
Just wondering if anyone knew what would scale better - Food Technology or Modern History? Just say I did equally well in both of them - would one get me better marks?
I'm tossing up between these 2 as to which subject I choose to do.
