Scaling modifications
brightsky:
I was just wondering, is there a reason why they lowered the scaling of Chinese SL, but raised the scaling for Chinese SLA in 2009?
stonecold:
What is the difference between SL and SLA?
IntoTheNewWorld:
Scaling isn't really decided by anyone, it just varies year by year depending on the strength of the respective cohorts =]
The Chinese SL cohort this year was just stronger than last years, while the SLA cohort was weaker. It all works out in the end (in theory)
Liuy:
SL was still scaled from 8-12 whilst SLA 7-10, it wasn't really lower scaling.

LOTE: Chinese has three groups. FL (First Language), SLA (Second Language Advanced) and SL (Second Language).
From the VCAA website:
--- Quote ---Chinese Second Language
A student is NOT eligible for Chinese Second Language if they have had either:
[*]12 months or more education in a school where Chinese is the medium of instruction, or
[*]3 years (36 months) or more residence in any of the VCAA nominated countries or regions.
The nominated countries and regions are China, Taiwan, Hong Kong or Macau.
Chinese Second Language Advanced
A student is eligible for Chinese Second Language Advanced if:
[*]they have had no more than 7 years of education in a school where Chinese is the medium of instruction, and
[*]the highest level of education attained in a school where Chinese is the medium of instruction is no greater than the equivalent of Year 7 in a Victorian school.
The time periods referred to in these criteria will be counted cumulatively since the time of the student’s birth.
As the formal education commencement age for a Victorian student is 5 years of age, then all applicants will be deemed to have commenced formal education by the end of their 5th year of age, regardless of the setting.
