Anybody in the same boat as me?

Along with my five other subjects, I do Industrial Technology - Multimedia.

It has a major work -  I actually think I'm good for a band 5 at least, so pretty happy - and the exams are quite simple and short - marked /40 with the other 60% coming from the major work.

However, I've heard that the (scaling? moderation? weighting? I don't know the correct term, sorry) for IT isn't particularly good...

Basically, how will IT affect my atar?

Hey! You shouldn't worry about scaling/moderation and stuff. If you want to know how it works, here's a guide, but it isn't going to negatively impact you in any way. Because like, you've done a subject you wanted to do, and your mark is therefore going to be higher in IT than it would have been elsewhere. Maybe a Band 5 result in IT doesn't scale as highly as a Band 5 result somewhere else, but it would be a small difference and you wouldn't have done as well in another subject!

So, don't stress about it! Focus on getting the best result you can

Needed to hear that, thank you!
