Detailed Studies scaling?

[RF]

Hey I did relativity this year and thought some of the questions were pretty whack, I'm not sure about the other detailed studies but from what I've read here relativity really was a beast.

So anyway, if the average score for relativity is say, 14/24, and the average for structures is 18/24, do the examiners move these scores around and scale relativity (in this case) up?

It just doesn't seem completely fair if one detailed study is done more poorly than the other.

I don't think they do, instead they attempt to make each detailed study equally hard, but obviously they never succeed.

Don't worry - A lot of people under-performed in their respective detailed studies (especially at my school).

However, I heard that Structures and Materials was very simple. I find that somewhat unfair...

Especially considering around 85 percent of students did Structures and Materials. If it's easier it just immediately puts those that didn't do it at the bottom

I did it, I didn't find it 'very simple'. And neither did most people at my school.

I remember being told by an assistant examiner that they do not scale according to detailed studies. Sorry fellas

Apparently, one of the teachers at our school did all three of the detailed studies and said that Structures and Materials was easily the least difficult.

- I don't think he meant it to be "very simple," but easier relative the other two detailed studies. To be completely honest, I find the system in physics of "choosing your own detailed study" to be somewhat silly... considering VCE is meant to be a ranking between students...
