Only Cheating Yourself:
how did everyone go and was the scaling really that bad?

Personally, I thought the scaling was awful. However, my class scores were weak compared to mine, which brought my scores down. If your class was strong though, you may not have felt the scaling effect as much. I did get an A for the exam though, which I was happy with!

is it easier than business?

I would say yes, some may say no though! The theory in Media is much easier, as there are less areas of study. While there is more to remember in Business, you don't have to analyse what you've learned, you simply answer the questions as they are asked. In Media however, a vast majority of the work involves analysing the texts/theories/issues you have learned about.

Many people say that Media is a 'bludge' subject and is very easy. This is incorrect (unless it comes naturally to you.) The folio is a massive piece of work and requires much detail and work out of school hours in order to complete it. As it is an arts subject too, the scaling is worse than other subjects, meaning that you may have to work even harder if you wish to get a higher study score.

After all that, even though my ATAR could have been better if I'd taken a science subject rather than media, I don't regret a thing. This is by far the best class I've ever taken, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.  :)
