ALL subjects scale DIFFERENTLY every year depending on the cohort and their achieved marks. Relax.

I came a year before you :) What i've heard is that ESL scales wayyyyy better than standard. There's one year, most of the ESL students who got band 6s got band 5 in the end cuz there's too many band 6 in ESL than Advance. :(
It's harder to get a Band 6 in Standard than in ESL.

So, do ESL. :)

Getting a Band 6 in Standard is harder than in Advanced.
It's only harder because markers believe that students completing the Standard course are less capable of attaining a band 6, rather than an Advanced student. After saying that, it does not apply to EVERYONE, I am saying that this is the general view held by many others. Obviously it's very possible to achieve a band 6 in Standard, you just have to be able to prove it.
