The following is the scaling report for the 2014 HSC. If you have any questions on how I calculated this or any questions at all, feel free to contact me through PM.
PS: You should note that just because one subject scaled better than the other does not mean the subject itself is harder or anything. Scaling fully depends on the performance of the cohort that did the exam and the mark they received.
The following subjects were not counted in the scaling report as they did not have enough students to be considered 'scale-worthy'.

Just one question though, are you sure about Spanish Continuers being in 7th (and consequently a lot better than Spanish ext)? I've always remembered it to be one of the languages which didn't scale as well :\
