all really good except d&t.

but scaling doesn't matter much if you get a really good mark.

Choose the subjects you want to do and are passionate about. Do well because you enjoy them.

If you don't make the cut then there are other ways to get there. Patience always pays out and if you don't enjoy the HSC years you will be a stressed shell by the end.

Don't focus on the UAI result, enjoy the ride there.

All your subjects are good.

DnT has shoddy scaling, but if you like it and do really well at it then scaling won't affect you very much :)

Go for it!

You can get 100 UAI with any combo of subjects, pretty much. Scaling doesn't affect much if you still epic fail a subject.

thats subjective, any subject can be good
but if asking about scaling, they're not the best but they're okay since those subjects are done by heaps of people in the state, u cud have to do better than them if u want to do well

i mean what band range do i need to get for each of these subjects so i won't be scaled down on them majorly. Im kinda worried.. because i do easy subjects.. and if i get band 6 in the easy ones such as general and food tech will i still be scaled down? ah i dont think i make sense. lol
