i presume spesh scaling will drop even more :/

[m@tty]

Most of the subjects I've seen have decreased scaling

Yeah, me too...

Is there some sort of scaling equilibrium, whereby the 'sum of all scaling' must be constant(I realised this doesn't make much sense :S)?? So if scaling is decreasing in many cases there must be also be an increase in other subjects.

I reason that to lower the scaling in a subject either weak students are entering the cohort or strong students are leaving the cohort. Assuming that these students drop another subject, and pick up another subject respectively, there should be an increase in the scaling of these other subjects.

More and more people are doing subjects for the "scaling", which in turn itself is decreasing. Interesting idea m@tty, but how can you assume that the subject "dropped" will have increased scaling?

[m@tty]

The subject which weak students leave should see an increase in scaling because the average mark in other subjects will increase, as the cohort has fewer low study scores. That is not to say that the subject will scale up, but relative to previous years tit should scale down less.

Yeah i reckon its cause people are getting smarter LOL

I swear a few years ago, no one was willing to pick up spesh in my school.

Word around a few people I know is that Specialist Maths will be ending all together.... ?

Has anybody else heard this and is there any development and truth to it??

[Juddinator]

I was also told that it was also stated in The Age as the numbers for Spec were very low....

Neither do I superflya

[darkphoenix]

Nah its only cause our school has too many fobs, who have apparently already done this in china.
