Yep. I got all band 5s and got 80.??

 

[dajazza]

Fuckn oath man. Got like 3 band 4's and 2 band 5's. Mark ranging from 70 to 80. Fucking ended up with a 65 ATAR, when atarcalculator.com predicted a 72. Oh well TAFE here I come.

Music II, got 80, scaled down to a 49/100. Made me get an ATAR of 93.1 =_=

My friend got on the honour roll and got 62. Hahahaha

Does anyone reakon that MX1 and MX2 have scaled slightly less this year? Last year, a band 6/band 5 in either of these subjects seemed to have more pull.

ahh i feel for you man, i did better but its still shit. you can go uws and just transfer after one year.

LOL. what sub for honour roll and how did your friend go for other subs?

It was a subject like visual arts, am I right? trollface.jpg

Hey bro when u mean transfer does that mean transfer to another uni? And is there shorter waiting periods? Or does it have to be one year?

I feel this is true with MX1. That test was a fucking BITCH - harder than MX2 according to many and harder than the infamous 2006 MX1 paper according to some.

my 98 in industrial technology scaled down 10 marks :/

 

[Huang-Paradigm]

I didn't do any maths, and only did one low scaling science subject (biology). Even though my HSC marks were higher than most of my friends, a few of them did good scaling subjects (maths, physics, chem etc), and got a higher atar than me. So yeah, scaling sucks .

do one year, get good marks then you have a chance to transfer to w.e you want i think

They definitely did.
Partly my fault. Lol. I did so bad in English paper 1.

General Maths. Lol
He got band 5s and like 1 or 2 4(s).

Scaling is the best

 

[kaz1]

that's why the cunts that say that scaling doesn't matter when choosing your subjects should be shot on sight

 

[zhiying]

Well scaling don't matter if you're just gonna 10% every 4U math assessment, might as well stick to 2U

But scaling evens things out. Is an 85 in IT equal to an 85 in chemistry? - probably not. You shouldnt chose subjects based on scaling because scaling isnt going to help you if your hopeless in a subject. If you can get 90 in visual arts but only 80 in physics, then you are better off doing visual arts from a scaling standpoint.

You pick subjects based on what you like and what you are good at.

 

[zhiying]

^that.

But just don't cry when you all band 6 but get 90 ATAR.
