HSC Subjects with the Highest Average

[jamonwindeyer]

So I've found another cool nugget of information here!

The HSC subjects with the highest RAW mean (average) marks in 2015:
1- Music Extension (88%)
2- Music 2 (87%)
3- English Extension 1 (84%)
4- Maths Extension 2 (83%)
5- Maths Extension 1 (82%)

But how does scaling effect this? The 5 subjects with the highest SCALED average result:
1- Maths Extension 2 (86)
2- Maths Extension 1 (78)
3- English Extension 1 (73)
4- English Extension 2 (72)
5- Music Extension (72)

What about non Extension subjects? The 5 non-extension subjects with the highest SCALED average result:
1- Music 2 (68)
2- English Advanced (64)
3- Economics (64)
4- Chemistry (63)
5- Physics (61)

Note that ALL HSC MARKS SCALE DOWN! Don't let the numbers make you nervous, the ATAR calculation takes this into account.


Is that what you guys would expect?

Is that what you guys would expect? 

Sure, why not

An interesting story though. I think this was in 2013 or something but there was this guy in my school. Got a mid band 4 in physics and a mid-high band 5 in music 2.

Physics counted towards his ATAR...

That doesn't surprise me at all, Music 2 scaling looks like it is less beneficial in that mid-high range
