Specialist Math scaling

[paulsterio]

my hopes of a 99.95 have been revived, man a 55 in speshh! *droooool*

this is revenge on all the people doing a language!

lol your kidding yourself if you think it will go to 55,

maybe 53

yeahh, i know i'm being too optimistic

but i still don't understand why some languages scale up so highly compared to other subjects, like i'm ok with scaling, i think it's fair, but when scaling goes beyond 50, there's an issue, because the MAXIMUM i can get in say methods is 50, no matter how good i am, whilst someone doing Latin can get 55

even though the spesh scaling benefits me, i think ALL subjects should have a maximum of 50!

There's two sides to the argument, if a person who gets 50 in food tech or some easy shit like that, are they as deserving as a 50 in specialist maths? But then if the Einstein of food tech takes it, should he be scaled down?

Personally, I think the current system is pretty fair, it's hard to gauge just how good the best person in the state really is. So just leave it the way it is.

Mods.

Close thread and ban/

You guys realise this was a joke yeh?

It was just sarcasm at how good this situation is.

Don't think so. Up until 2006 Spesh went up to 55, then from 2007 onwards it went 54, 53, 52, 52 or something. Given this, and given that the system has been revived, I reckon Spesh would go back up to 54 at least, if not 55.

i overheard pacitti saying it wouldn't go that far up,

ask him when you get to school, he would be able to give the best approximation.

Done deal. If Thushan says it will go to 54 at least, then it will!!

a 50 in spesh, i would imagine would be easier than a 50 in languages,

i agree with paul when he says no subjects should go above 50, but i really think that lang. should still be higher than spesh

Definitely, languages are so much harder to learn. I mean at least with maths youre using a numbers - something youve been dealing with since you were a kid. A language is completely different, new alphabet, new vocab, you have intonation etc etc

+1. A 50 in spesh is doable I think - like it's possible...but a 50 in a language? WTF! Unless you're a perfect specimen like scocliffe09 or fuzzylogic...

True language is retarded since the cohort you get is so random and I heard that VCE is really dodgy when it comes to languages.
If Spesh really goes up by 11 from 30 then technically it means you can get 50 if you get 41 raw :O (I THINK since 2007 a 30 in Spesh went up to 40 and a 41 went up to 49.6)

Well...someone's gotta get that 50

[thushan]

True. But for languages you need to be 1st or 2nd in state...

So, having a bad sac mark (maybe ranked in the middle of a small as cohort, when I say small its <70) means you can't do well T.T?
