I am not sure what you mean.

Are you asking how well they scale?

Um, it's all relative. But if we take the mean scaled mark as a good indicator of scaling, I would say that all your subjects are quite good except TVET Accounting which has a okay scaling.

Aim about 85+... try playing around with SAM .. if you dont know what it is then just go to this link http://www.boredofstudies.org/sam/index.php

You put in your subject and it will give you an estimated UAI for your results... currently it bases its estimates of the 2008 results... sorry cbb going in too much detail

well, define Really well lol well in general accounting does scale well but if ur over the Median HSC mark by lets say 10 or 20 scaling will work in your favour (i think) im not 100% sure how the whole process works but just as long as ur over the Median HSC mark by good number ull have nothing to worry about [=

Ext English scales MUCH better than Economics. Economics has slightly better scaling than Physics, but they virtually they scale the same, i.e. well. Accounting scales as well as Modern History for up til 90+ so that's Medium-high.

umm no.. ext. english scales better than physics which scales better than economics. from 80-96 at least, physics continually has a higher scaled mark than economics by 2-3% each time. so no, economics < physics < ext. english.

This is true.

But keep in mind that english extension 1 is only a 1 unit subject.

This is one of the issues with the Maths Extensions --> English Extensions unit distribution.

I think they need to be balanced up unit wise... scaling is of course relative.
