are you serious?
i plugged in a 97 into sam for engineering and it got scaled down to 88...
and 100 itself got scaled down to 97
engineering scaling is aparently worse than business studies, which in itself is notorious for its bad scaling...

No engineering studies is capped. That means that the highest scaled aggregate you can get is 96.4 or something.
But that doesnt mean it scales badly. Everything goes down on SAM, so i dont get what you mean anyway? Trust me Engineering scales better than business studies.

so SAM is inaccurate?
my friend told me that through SAM, 100 in business got scaled down to 98 or something. but i guess it could just be better for the higher marks.

Nope, SAM is accurate.
Check out the A3 table by clicking here.
Engineering is capped at around 96/100 and yeah has pretty crappy scaling as it's slightly lower than Business Studies.
But do not fear, if you get the higher marks scaling won't affect so much

Why are you concerned about scaling for Engineering Studies? Are you trying to decide on whether or not to pick up the subject?
One of the best scaling subjects is Extension 2 English & Maths. But if you get an average mark in those courses, its still an average mark after scaling.
Pick engineering studies because you have an interest in it. if you don't like it, you wont do well in it, whether scaling will help/hamper your marks.
PS. I got 90s in Eng Studies for my final mark. it was all down to my ranking and how hard i studied, not the scaling.
