High end ENTERs, a lil change in scaling can make a whole lot of a difference...

The scaling i found, was lower across most subjects compared to last year. As a result the aggregate has also lowered to achieve that particular enter. Hence, lower scaling has no effect on your ENTER score at all. Stop complaining!

Hehe, I guess you didn't need a language or spec this year to get 99.95? :P

This is one way to do it!

2008
1. Robbins, Natasha (Ballarat and Clarendon College): 4 total
   English: 50
   History - Australian History: 50
   Physical Education: 50
   Psychology: 50

2007
306. Robbins, Natasha (Ballarat and Clarendon College): 2 total
   Legal Studies: 50
   Mathematics - Further Mathematics: 44

*edit* I'm not actually sure she got 99.95 ... if not she was VERY close; it is dependent on how much Further was scaled down (but based on the fact that (45)[44], it would seem that it is scaled down by 1, in which case she just makes the cut)
« Last Edit: December 30, 2008, 05:58:47 pm by Synesthetic »
2007- History Revs (44)[46], Chinese SL (32)[44]
2008- English (50)[50], Literature (50)[50], Methods (49)[49.7], Specialist (44)[50.5], Chemistry (41)[45]
ENTER: 99.95
