Hey guys
is there a place to see how the subjects are ranked? like what subs will boost ur UAI?
or can some well tell me which is better Biology or Geography better to drop?
thanks in advance
Well obviously this depends most of all on how well you think you can do in both these subjects, how much you like them, and how useful they will be for your future vocational plans. Both of these subjects will scale reasonably well if you can put decent effort into in them.
That said, the UAC website posts several documents about the scaling of various subjects in the HSC.
http://www.uac.edu.au/pubs/pdf/2007_table_A3.pdf
This one shows that in the 2007 HSC, the average scaled mark for Biology was ever so slightly higher than the average scaled mark for Geography. (26.9 compared to 25.7)It also shows that a similar HSC mark in both subjects would have corresponded to a slightly better scaled UAC mark for Biology (a 36.8/50 became scaled 26.9 in Biology, while a 38.6/50 in Geo became 25.7 scaled).However, this is so close that there's basically nothing in it. And remember that this will change every year based on how well the cohort of Biology or Geography students will do compared to other subjects.
