Ahh yes. I forgot to point that out. Scaling is not linear, so for very high marks, chem may scale higher, but for lower marks, phys may scale more.

use SAM.

not sure, but you may find the answer in my essay here, http://www.boredofstudies.org/download.php?id=9435

scaling is NOT a direct measure of how hard a subject is (however it may imply its difficulty). and saying that "physics is harder than chem" is very subjective. it depends on you. some find it harder, some find it easier. and i found this out some time in year 11 when i was reading though...

there is no such thing. it is a myth. teachers who say that there is such a thing are lying, probably trying to get you to stay at their school so that they can get more money or say they are a more "prestigious" school.

yes! finally someone who agrees with me.

yes, you are doing the hsc. and one can do very well at the hsc, simply by doing lots of past papers and knowing how to do the questions by repetition. as the questions are almost exactly the same, when you get to the hsc you would have done a question very similar if not exactly the same to the...

Hmm well i'm not sure. Because, sure, solutions can come in really handy. But they are not essential. Because if you have the answers, you know if you got the correct answer or not. If you got an incorrect answer, more often than not, you can correct your mistake by looking at your solution...

you don't need solutions to know if your answer is right, you only need answers. now having done my hsc last year I know that having the answers to check is good and helpful, but having the whole solutions is going a bit far. i would say only take a look at the solutions after you have thought...

Its not that simple!

do you have a pic of it you can post up here? i would love to see it.

Yes. Your browser is trying to open the .doc file in ie. And it can't. I'm not sure how to change this in ie, because I use firefox. It's much better when it comes to downloading files.

Yes. Do this. This will tell you what will happen in terms of scaling.

Scaling of Industrial Tech Original conversation via PM. Posted with permission.

i knew it was possible, but i wasn't sure the easiest way. do you know where there is any documentation on the technical side?

I'm not sure how the admin would go about implementing it. Do you know of a vBulletin patch that allows Tex?? If worse comes to worse we could steal code from MediaWiki and squeeze it into vBulletin.

to my understanding there is a fair bit of in-depth maths involved in electrical engineering. However if you have done 2U and you are good at maths, then you should be able to learn the maths. (you will need to do a 3u bridging course and you will end up learning the important parts of 4u in...

Perhaps they are more subtle than what you are doing? I don't know. Perhaps not, in that case use this as evidence. If you are still aggrieved, just give the Board a call (you could send an email, but sometimes they can take a while to reply. e.g. I sent an email once and it took about 1...

I totally disagree with almost every thing you said. "a decent UAI (UAI >99)" This is totally not true! I think anything in the 90's is excellent, and anything in the 80's is commendable. "So 4U English is a total waste of time." By no means does the amount of scaling reflect if the subject is...

Hmm from reading above I get the impression that "the general adult community would not find [it] offensive" then it should be fine. Of course, if your work was not considered sutiable for younger audiences, it would just mean that your work would not be able to be put on showcase. But thats not...
