It is a pretty bad scaling subject. Even if you get a Band 6, it will probably scale down significantly. But since its only 2 units, it won't affect your UAI that much.

Hey i did textiles for my hsc in 2005 and i got a band 6 for it. I found that it helped my uai, although it really depends on all of your subjects and final marks.
Ditto with noir, they wont scale you down if you do better than average.

Getting an average mark in something like Textiles (which is apparently less difficult... hah. yeah right) is going to scale a lot worse than an average mark in something like Physics.

However, if your marks end up towards the top end of the textiles course, then it doesnt scale badly at all.

I did Textiles (and no maths and no science) and got a 93.4

Well you proved all the haters wrong.

I'm worried about this too, i mean the scaling down. even tho i have 12 units i still want to think that i wasted all this effort and it doesn't count in the end
