My teacher (also a marker) has said the same thing. They're being more lenient with the marks.

*apparently* scaling is affected by:
the quality of the canditature
the 'easiness' of the exam
the markers 'relaxedness'

and various other stuff i dont understand..does anyone understand scaling?

but yeah, i heard that if they decide to mark the test really easy (which apparently they have) the scaling goes down...and considering how low it already is for IPT i dont think i want it to go any lower.

i dunno how scaling works, i fully dont understand it, im not sure anyone does *even the board themselves*
your rank and stuff shouldnt be affected, like you still came 9/27, that cant change, but your mark will be a bit lower than what you actually got..if that makes sense..
anyway, thats my understanding of it...maybe PM lazarus and ask him, he seems to understand a bit of it at least
