My overall mark for Economics was 73, and Food Tech was 85. I know I'm probaably one of a kind, no one I knew did such a high scaling and such a low scaling subject such as these two. But on my thing I got today, it said they counted 1 unit of Eco, and 2 of Food Tech. I thought that Eco had such good scaling, and Food such bad scaling, that they'd take 2 units of Eco?

A 73 in Economics would put you well into the bottom half of students, close to the lower quartile. An 85 in Food Tech however is fairly high, and the difference beetween your marks in the two subjects would be enough to compensate for the worse scaling.
