do not let scaling in the way of choosing your subjects
you'll do a lot better at subjects you like, so any of the 3 would be fine

A friend of mine told me the scaling goes like this...
CHEM>ECON>PHYS.... that it is what i was i told :)
although the difference between them i am not sure

Hey shuning,
For a start you don't know anything about me, i've never talked to you, i'd never associated myself with you and now I know why. Why don't you stop bagging the shit out of people that don't like you and you don't know anything about. You have a sick mind to make any of those claims you just put forth so you better watch yourself boy because people don't degrade me so severly and get away with it.
See you in economics tomorrow ass-hole.
lool???

random awkward person threatening on a completely randomly chosen thread?

Re: 回复: Re: Scalling in PHYSICS vs CHEMISTRY vs ECONOMICS

i was told at school ( by the economics teacher )

Physics > Economics > Chem

and he kept on telling us Chem is a shit course not worth doing

background of the story: this ugly slutty and arrgogent bitch topped all the subjects in my school ( prob slept with the teacher or someshit ) then she's like "what subject should i drop nxt yr... i cant decide cuz im a dumb slut" ( and the teacher was advertising to her drop chem ) however i believe the true reason was "the cork of the chem teacher was too small to suck on, no pleasure... and it fucking shots chemical instead of cums ... GG "

So far off you deserve to be stabbed.

Chem> Eco and Physics

That is a general rule. However, last year Physics scaled better than Chem...so it's a bit of a wild card this year.

is that because the physics paper in last year was easier than previous years? so ppl did better in physics than chemistry?

i tihnk it was because chem's marks stretched all the way too 100 rather than the top mark of 98 as it usually was, while phys' top mark was 98 as usual

Re: 回复: Re: Scalling in PHYSICS vs CHEMISTRY vs ECONOMICS

why does ECO scale so well?? i really think eco is super easy compared to advanced english, mathematics, physics etc.

the only reason i can think of is the 2 extended responses can basically come from anywhere?

If you have read newspapers, espically finance eco is pretty easy subject. Think of it you put someone who hardly reads newspapers, and they will most likely fail. Also Eco has alot of content to remember. While Maths, physics is applying e.g only remember the formula.

oh, gee
there's a massive amount to remember in the sciences too

while maths is pretty completely different - all application sort of

really,
but when i saw it from the past hsc papers,
the 2 extended responses were actually pretty straight forward and you wont be expected to write anything that u havnt learnt in class. and i do think u can actually prepare it beforehand.
