hello
Does physics or economics scale better
source?PLEASE do not pick your subjects because of this idea of 'better scaling.'
A HSC mark of 86 in PHYSICS scales to a 92. A HSC mark of 88 in ECONOMICS scales to a 92. What that means is that the effort to get an 86 in Physics, is the same effort that is needed to get an 88 in economics. So, yes, while a mark in Physics will get you a higher ATAR contribution, you can get the same mark with the same effort in Eco.

im pretty sure that isn't accurate....
yeah.... but that's not your hsc mark? and it doesn't even necessarily 'scale' to that? isn't that alignment?
this is just wrong wtfdymWhat that means is that the effort to get an 86 in Physics, is the same effort that is needed to get an 88 in economics.
bro you're talking about 'alignment' here. scaling is different to alignment.PLEASE do not pick your subjects because of this idea of 'better scaling.'

That is why it is SO IMPORTANT that you don't pick your subjects based on scaling. Because in the situation above, you're more likely to do better in the subject you have more of an interest in, meaning you'll score better and have a better contribution to your ATAR.
by the sounds of it, pick eco over physicsAight so which scales better cos imo as of now eco is easier for me to pick up and i dont rlly enjoy physics that much and i dont think ill be that good at it either tbh. However i thought id be better at physics so i havent been paying attention in eco lessons (deadass js been doing maths), however that seems to not be the case now. Also eco is kinda interesting
Did you do economics? How was it in y11 compared to y12?by the sounds of it, pick eco over physics
yeah if you don't enjoy it that much maybe not i would put in equal effort and do math later LMAOAight so which scales better cos imo as of now eco is easier for me to pick up and i dont rlly enjoy physics that much and i dont think ill be that good at it either tbh.

y11 is easier, but less interesting, y12 is harder but more interestingDid you do economics? How was it in y11 compared to y12?
My school teacher not too great tbh, do yk if crest+ is any good?yeah if you don't enjoy it that much maybe not i would put in equal effort and do math later LMAO
y11 is easier, but less interesting, y12 is harder but more interesting
just make sure you get a good teacher or something lol
Scaling is an important thing to consider during subject selection. theres a reason why the majority of students who get a 99.95 did the exact same ten units of 4u, engadv, chemistry, and physics, (the so-called "Asian 5") which is that they are the optimal scalers, and the majority of students who got a 99+ did some combination of 4u, engadv, chem, phys, bio, eco, latin or any of the other top tier scalers.PLEASE do not pick your subjects because of this idea of 'better scaling.'
