I guess I was looking at your siggie.

I indeed need to get glasses.

Back to normal talk, estimating out from an established system such as SAM or UAI Calculator will tend to mislead people as they have no idea the exact magnitude of scaling eg a score of 80 is 4U maths =... 90 or 92 or 96 scaled?

... unless the person actually get resources from UAC and finds information explicitly, which is what the calculators do anyway. And if you are not a fan of SAM cuz its a 2005 version :)angry:), maybe you can try the UAI Calculator, they have the new 2007 version.:hammer:
What an incredible coincidence! You know what? I already use the 2007 version. I do not doubt SAM. I am just using a different variety of sources.

And that's why I have got 2007 Scaling report not to mislead myself when it comes to scaling.

As lsam suggested, please discontinue your comment. I thought you already stopped.

Not before you shut yours. :cool:
You already got your one shut. I don't know where that is coming from.

To OP, if you are good at both high-scaling and low-scaling subject, choose the high-scaling subject. High-scaling subject FTW!

Did the scaling report give you a different scope of scaling than the calculator did with the same marks filled it? If it did, i might wanna go have a look at the report too.

My comments will continue as I wish.

No one can shut me. MUHAHAHA... :argue::argue::argue:

+1

But if you such at high scaling subjects youd be an idiot to take them

It's interesting how people refer to the modality of scaling as "high scaling" or low scaling" cause in reality most subjects scale down
Not 4 unit maths :p

Thats why I said most subjects :p
Yeah thats probably the only exception.

EDIT: along with latin extension and... distinction subjects :confused:

EDIT:
However from what Lyounamu posted

... I guess its not whether it is high scaling or low scaling but how much it scales down...
Well, I cannot put on the scaling of that subject for different marks. It would just take too much time. I think putting average mark is a good indication.

I didn't bother reading the whole thread but... are you fucking noob or something? All you gotta do to test YOUR OWN QUESTION is type some noob subjects with a minimum band 6 in all of them into the SAM... lol

Ahas, okay, thank you y'all. I've learnt heaps from your uncontrollable arguments and pwnage, or attempt to pwn eachother. :D

Some people enjoy getting advice and reference from ... people, with brain and common sense. But your brain, common sense, everything is prone to failure as I've learnt. But then calculators are prone to failure as well. So I should just .. go dig a whole and jump in.

My point; I use calculators but my life is (yet to be) not dependent on them.

Ahhh, this thread makes my brain hurt =) I am so lost when it comes to scaling and aligned marks and whatnot. I know/think that internal assessments are modified/aligned/whatever the word is, to make them more consistent(?) across the state. But I just get lost from their. Its all extremely mathematical, and as you can see, I don't do maths. So I'm a touch out of my depth =)
