Title: What subject would be worth more?
Post by: AdroitUsername on March 30, 2018, 09:12:32 am

If I were to get an A in standard English, and a B+ in specialist math, which subject would be worth more after scaling?

Hey, welcome to AN!
What is the context for this question? Specialist will probably scale to more than English, but remember that English has to be in your top 4 subjects.

Both are important to your atar and you shouldn’t compare them

Spec would go higher
Being average in spesh gives you a 42 after scaling
Being in the ~top 4% in english gives you a 42 after scaling
