Business vs. Economics (1 Viewer)

[izzy_xo]

+1, Nearly all the humanities are capped, Biology is capped and many other 'easier' subjects. Its also due to the amount of people who sit the exam.

Why would you drop ECO if ur 2nd? as wouldnt you rather get a 90+ in eco than a 90+ in business??

fair point.

According to the A3 table Anna posted, Biology is not capped. It had a maximum scaled mark of 50/50. I think Anna said that Business Studies is capped at 91, but according to the table it had a max. scaled mark of 48.7/50, i.e. 97.4/100. To the OP: Economics wasn't capped and PE was capped at 48.8/50, i.e. 97.6/100 ... I think that means it might scale better the Business.

Choose to drop the subject you enjoy least, or if you enjoy Business and Economics equally, choose the subject in which you think you will get the worst mark.

P.S: I was interested to see that English Standard was capped at 47.9/50 ... I thought it scaled the same as Advanced ... maybe it does for all the marks lower than its capped mark.

Adv english and standard gets aligned differently or something.

You are so lost, as Aerath said >.>

Use the search function on this site to look up threads, i can't be bothered finding them for you. Also, take a look at the A3 Table.

I wish i was as smart as you

Sorry, i forgot to mention that i was talking about general maths (for the ~91 capped mark) XD But basically, scaling does affect your overall ATAR but of course it has less of an effect on higher marks

Oh and bio is not capped

Ignore the comparison between english advanced and standard - i'm not sure why that is the way it is but english standard and advanced do scale the same.

LOL ok XD
