Possible this year for it to remain the same or scale up rather than down?

Hmm.

probably not

exam difficulty has little to do with it since top 10% get A+

However the subject difficulty seems to make subjects like mehtods/spesh/chem and all that scale up well, and languages because people are cheap

Probably not. I don't think it works that way because the scaling is related to how the cohort performs in other subjects. And the cohort is pretty much always very similar each year right? But I would be a happy chappy if it did scale up!  ;D

I hope it at least stays the same and doesnt scale down.. maybe the harder study design will cause more people to do worse in psych than their other subjects, and cause it to not scale down? :)

Possibility that low extended response answers may affect the scaling as well this year, but get we will have to wait to realise.

Pretty sure it did according to the scaling report and ATAR calc. 35 goes to down 33, 30 down to 28, etc.

From the 2010 scaling report (http://www.findtutor.com.au/downloads/Find-Tutor-scaling-report-2010.pdf)
Psychology scaling:

Raw 20 = 17 Scaled
25 --> 22
30 --> 28
35 --> 33
40 --> 39
45 --> 45
50 --> 50

And i checked out the report for previous years as well (just alter the year in that link above..) and these figures have been consistent since 2006
