How much does specialist math get scaled up to?

[Rose34]

Hello,

How much does specialist math get scaled up to?

Thanks in advance.

From the scaling report it looks like it scales:
20 --> 27
25 --> 35
30 --> 41
35 --> 47
40 --> 51
45 --> 54
50 --> 55

Here's a link to the scaling report from 2020, which tells you how all the subjects were scaled.

In addition, note that scaling is not always the same from year to year, and depends on performance of that specific cohort in that specific year.

EDIT: But data from previous years tend to provide a fairly accurate prediction most of the time.

Whilst I highly recommend specialist as a subject, make sure u don't do it just for scaling :p, also my teacher said it got to 13 a few years ago so whilst it is very unlikely still a possibility if your years competition/difficulty is way higher than normal.
