    Why are sciences and mathematics scaled so well?

    Physics scales much better. If you have to drop to 10 units and you are equally good, then Phy is the right choice.

    Why are sciences and mathematics scaled so well?

    Well if you chose the subjects you are best in, scaling shouldn't have much of an effect. If equally good, it is more advisable to choose the one with higher scaling.

    Why are sciences and mathematics scaled so well?

    You only contribute to a very small part of those cohorts. The overall English or Economics cohort is not as strong as say the 4U Maths cohort.

    Why are sciences and mathematics scaled so well?

    It is also because of that. BUT if the smarter cohort recevie the same marks in say 4U Maths and Bus Studies, then 4U maths will scale the same as Bus Studies. What actually happens is that the cohort receives a lower mark in 4U Maths than they do in Bus Studies, leading to the higher scaling.

    Confused: UNSW or UWS??

    Simply put, UWS is where people direct those who receives an UAI which no other university would take. Do you want to be with those people? XD

    It lowers the cut-off, instead of increasing your UAI. But yes it seems likely.
