I heard that most language extensions scale better than 4u maths? Is that true?

Nope, mxt2 is the only subject that literally scales up for every mark.

All languages, including Classical Greek Extension and Latin extension scale down.

If you don't believe me, take a look at the A3 table :p

acounting would be average if you are comparing it to others

i thought accounting was similar to modern/ancient

hey theMoment..are you going to be doing extensions for all your languages?

at the lower end, yes. but as you get up past 90, it starts to get quite bad. modern owns accounting at 90 and above, and ancient is just a little better than accounting. when you get to 95 for accounting, it scales down to 89. that's not particularly good, compared to modern which scales from 95 to about 92-93.

For Latin and German..I don't enjoy French as much..
I'll probably drop ancient

I would keep English Extension because I love it...but I don't do Economics so I could be slightly biased here...but from memory, English Extension scales higher.

Time to find the 2008 scaling list I think...now where did I put it...
