Scaling

[KryptoN_]

So uh, what's the deal with scaling? I know bus man goes down, but I dunno how much by . I've heard from somewhere that if you get over 45 it doesn't go down, but then again I heard someone else that it goes down by 2-4 no matter what. So anyone care to enlighten me? Thanks.

I'm not too sure about this but it normally gets scaled down about 2-4 depending on what your raw score was... i think it doesnt get scaled down only if you get a 50(according to scalling last year)  ...

Aight, reg linked me to this Enter Calculator so I'll post the output.

40 -> 37
41 -> 38.2
42 -> 39.4
43 -> 40.6
44 -> 41.8
45 -> 43
46 -> 44.4
47 -> 45.8
48 -> 47.2
49 -> 48.6

Good to see that if you score fairly well it doesn't penalise you too much!

I'm so worried how much i'll get scaled down on BM its bullshit the scaling.

Dont worry about scaling too much, just do your best ^_^ and good luck, im here if anyone needs any help

[rustic_metal]

No according to last year's scaling it would go down to 31

Btw if you need help with how to answer questions on the exam just let me know =]

I know all the rote learn stuff, skills roles styles etc.. but I may get stumped on like 'Identify 2 KPI's and discuss how they gauge the success of the business'  just those sort of ones where you can't actually learn until you get into the exam if you know what I mean.  Oh well I did well on my SAC's i'm sure I can spin some solid gold shit in the exam

[kjg]

but if you know KPI's then those questions should be a sinch
and if it's just talking about how they help measure a business' success
then it's easy to talk about financial KPI's
always have a non financial as a back up though

Is it just me, or is that all that is needed in this subject? Like, the rote learned stuff is ridiculously easy, it seems to be your ability to spin shit that gets you the marks.

That's my experience from the SACs and practice exams anyway.

Pretty much lol...
They're testing your ability to understand and apply your knowledge not just how well you can memorise things.

Whats the chances that scaling may be a little nicer this year to all you BM students? :?

I'm doing it next year and the thought of getting a 40 to see it go down to 37  makes me feel sick lol

Scaling's always going to be fairly harsh when it comes to a subject like bus man .
