Tbh, the scaling of subjects doesn't matter, it's about the quality of ur study and ur performance in tests or exams etc.
But to answer ur question:
Business studies- average
Legal studies- good
economics- great
Ancient history- average
Advanced english- good

Like u asked in another thread, u can 90+. I know people who did no maths or sciences like u but got an atar of 99+.

English scaling almost the same as Economics, only 0.1 difference (English is 0.1 better)

Fuck all these kids worried about scaling and shit. If you're relying on scaling to save you, you're going to school for the wrong reasons. There is no easy way out of getting good marks. Sure you may get a good scaled mark, but your raw mark will be fuck all. JUST DO YOUR BEST IN ALL SUBJECTS!

You really don't need to worry about scaling, it's true! Just make sure you study hard for the subjects you do and rank well internally, keep up that performance for the external exams and get good marks and it won't matter. If you do well in your subjects it'll be fine :)

Most of your subjects scales quite well-but you need to remember, you need to get good marks to scale well-so work hard and don't worry too much:)

From best to last, the order of the scaling of your subjects is;

1. English (Advanced)
2. Economics
3. Ancient History
4. Legal Studies
5. Business Studies

But remember, scaling is only around to create an equal playing field for everyone. Just do your best, and you'll be rewarded.

You have an average/slightly above average subject combination in terms of scaling, but if you do well in them you will be rewarded with a good ATAR.
