There's only a rule against 3 English and 3 Maths, not 3 Sciences :)

Pretty sure you can, although it's easier to have the maths as top four ( as they scale higher)
Ancient Persian Proverb; " I Wept because i had no Shoes, until i saw a man with no feet!"

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me -- and there was no one left to speak for me.
-Martin Niemoller, a german pastor

Not necessarily, the only reason Maths scales higher is because of Specialist Maths - Chem/Methods scale the same

But Bazza, looking at your sig, I think your top 4 will be English, Biology, Chem and Spesh

Because 45 in Spesh goes to a 50 :)

Not exactly, at the very high end yes they scale the same but methods scales slightly higher than chem at 45 and lower.

Oh right, it does too, I wonder why that is? :S Chem is far harder than methods in my opinion!

Yeh it is for me too, but then maths is my area. But it doesn't come down to how hard it is, isn't it the level of competition or something like that? Methods has a lot of people who just do it because it is a prerequisite and need that 25, so the higher people may be pushed up a bit higher in terms of the normal distribution?

EDIT: sorry getting off topic.
