I'm planning to take the following subjects in Year 12 and want to know if overall they scale well:

Extension 1+2 Mathematics (accelerant so will finish in Year 11 so there will be enough space in timetable to fit the rest)
Extension 1+2 English
Chemistry
Physics
Modern History+History Extension

Thanks!

Are these subjects good for scaling... it's the equivalent of asking whether a 99.95 ATAR is any good... having said that, they scale well because you need to work hard in them to get the good marks ... I don't think modern scales amazingly but as long as you go fairly well it certainly won't hurt your ATAR

You are set for 99+ easy. Keep up the work.
How is he set for 99? Just by picking his subjects? Gee, I never knew getting 99+ was so easy.

OP: They're good subjects scaling wise, however, getting complacent will kill you. Getting 85 in Phys and Chem loses to getting 98 in Business Studies.

You're welcome, but like I said, they are well scaled because they're hard to achieve great marks in! Don't just think "Ah, they scale well, now I can just sit back and chill" Or you will go crap. End of story. Good luck
Thanks for the rep btw
