do you reckon scaling might go higher for spesh than last years(hopefully) because of the english/spesh exam dilemma despite the easier spesh exam1 than last years? hopefully it goes back to the peak scaling of (11-13) =P
-
no
its not based on exam performance
-
o wow serz dam got my hopes up, ok then did anyway get affected negatively by the english exam prior. did that cause anyone's performance to drop because of it?

hasnt english been before spesh for years?

no

if its not based on exam performance whats it based on
-
It's based on how well you and the others in that same subject do on their other subjects.
-
If you want scaling. Own methods. (I think)

Last year it was on the same day as Further apparently.
Dunno about the scaling though, I reckon it'll stay the same as last year

I think it is. Again I think...
They would have compensated you guys by giving an easier exam. The thing with easy exams is that the threshold marks will be higher. As for scaling, you guys will get a good scale, but by how much is questionable. Last year my specialist maths study score scaled by 9. :)

Hope it doesn't decrease

Or you can own one of the high scaling languages.
Back on topic, scaling is based on how well you perform in your other subjects. If you, and the rest of the state doing Spesh for that matter, perform really well in your other subjects then expect the scaling for Spesh to increase slightly.
I think that's how it works.

Haha, this makes me regret bludging during sat school.

Yeah that's what I meant. I think (not sure) that they look mainly at methods to adjudge spesh scaling. So if people getting 30 for spesh are getting 45 for methods then it scales up appropriately
