Scaling from that year.

That.  Although /0 thinks his Methods score was scaled according to the 2009 cohort and not with the 2008 cohort when he did Methods.

yeah its weird because i got the same score as /0 but our scaling was different, he actually got a tiny bit higher scaling than me by like 0.1 or something

How is that weird? That seems to make sense cause /0 did methods in 08, thus different scaling (which is why he got 0.1 higher). Whereas you did it in 09

I don't really remember what happened, I probably said something about it somewhere on the forum though...

Yeah, my Chinese score was a tad off than what it said in the 2008 Scaling Report.  But it was only 0.01, not that it would really change my ENTER by a lot.  :P  lol

I swear it should be in the year you did the subject, it only makes sense as you "competed" with the people in that year. I have this annoying girl going to me, "WRONG I THOUGHT YOU WERE SMART THEY SCALE YOU AT THE END WHEN YOU GET YOUR ENTER." :| Ok... lol.
