Hey guys, just wandering, with the uni prerequisites, say they want at least 25 in methods, do they want 25 raw or 25 scaled?

Cheers!!

I'm pretty sure its raw scores.

It is most definitely raw, a friend of mine got into a course which required a 25 in English with a 26 (which would have scaled to below 25).

If all the above isn't confirmation enough for you, here's a VTAC source - Slide 16. http://www.wss9.vtac.edu.au/ppt/VTAC_Parents_Session_2011-12.ppt

"Minimum study scores listed in prerequisites are referring to the raw study score before scaling, not the ATAR subject score"

Also the definition of study score (raw scores from VCAA), and ATAR subject score (scaled study scores from VTAC) can be found here http://www.vtac.edu.au/pdf/publications/abcofscaling.pdf
