No it's not like that at all.

SS is a generalised science. It is REALLY EASY to score 90+. Assumably, you may just be the smartest person in your class. Ranking is everything. If you rank first, chances are you won't get scaled down. So thats an easy 90+

Compare it to the rank/mark that you'll get if you stay in Chemistry.

RANK IS EVERYTHING

So mature of you. :rolleyes:

I'm not too crazy about my chem teacher either. But it's not her I'm interested in, it's the chemistry I'm interested in. ;)

The girl who topped Senior Science in 2005 is doing first year Pharmacy with me, and the cutoff is a UAI of 95.95. A girl in my school got 90+ for General Maths and Senior Science and is currently doing first year Med Science which has a cutoff of 94.00. So Senior Science won't drag you down if you do well in it.

of course, if u do well in any subject you can get a good uai, but if u dont do well then it will scale down....i got uai of 98.5 and did d+t, you think that means d+t scales well?

No, I wasn't implying that, I was simply trying to say that regardless of what subjects scale what, if you do well in them, you will do well. That is all the person I was quoting wanted to know.

If s/he doesn't feel confident about their ability to make a decision as they don't know whether they'll do well in it, then they shouldn't do it. Full stop.
