Go the Matrix calculator...

Type in the following 3, shitey scaling, subjects:

1) General Maths
2) Information Processes Tech
3) Software Design Dev

Type in 85 HSC mark for each

Now... look at the scaled mark:

General Maths SCALES BETTER than IPT, IPT SCALES BETTER than SDD? And SDD HANDS DOWN is harder than either of them... by... FAR!!! :evilfire::evilfire::evilfire:

Who is devastated/stressed after reading this? I am, just by typing this out! Excuse me while I go start studying like crazy!!! ...

Lol what the fuck at the site that the OP used, with a mark of 85 pretty much no subject will scale down.

Srsly though, who cares about scaling. Just get the best mark you can get in the damn subject.

I do IPT and find this amazing. IPT is legit the worse subject because it is so easy.

Well remember scalling changes every year.

Definitely a hard subject. I'm doing it this year and came first in my year 11 finals with 67%. Almost all of the class failed and I was devo to find out it scaled so badly.

The calculator was wrong. I know without a doubt SDD scales higher than IPT and gen maths. It's much harder than either of those subjects. Requires more logical thinking.

If you're still upset, think about the VET I.T guys, MAX HSC mark last year was 48.50 / 50, it got scaled down to 42.5.

40 + is still very high though in terms of point out of 50. It would require at least a band 5 or high band 4 in physics. to get 40+ / 50
