Since this year was a hard year, do you guys think the scaling will be higher than previous years?

I don't think hard exams affect scaling, don't quote me on this though.

Why do you hope it's more this year if yours was scaled last year? :S

The number of people doing Maths Methods has at least doubled... This is the first year Maths Methods CAS completely replaced Maths Methods. So there is more competition. Scaling is most likely going to drop. But there is still a chance that it will increase by a single point. You can't make an accurate guess.

I don't think it will drop... most likely stay the same or go up by 1 or 2 more....

Saying that the size has doubled doesnt change it I think because scaling works off what you get in your other subjects. So The same amount of low scoring people and high scoring people have joined methods cas so i dont think it will lower.... if that makes sense

How does scaling actually work anyway?

Just say methods goes up 6 this year and methods doesn't go over 50. Does that mean getting a 50 and getting a 44 are both the same thing?

No at best it scales up by 6, but as you go higher it will decrease (34 goes to 40, 39 goes to 44.2)
