Specialist Scaling

[Pixon]

A few of the methods teachers at my school told a lot of students to do spesh because it helps methods. Also at my school if you've done the moethds/spesh combo, theres never been a student who hasnt scored 40+ in methods... i think that's the main reason why students do it at my school but i can see a fair amount of them really struggle (some already are with basic circular functions) or drop out because it's too difficult.

That's actually amazing. There's plenty of kids at my school who do the methods and spesh combo in year 12 and would be lucky to get 35 for methods.

Wow...same at my school, but I think that's a result of the fact that it's rare for the good mathematics students to do methods in year 12. Also, teachers strongly encourage year 11s doing 1/2 methods to do Gen A; not to be too mean, but it almost seems as though they know these students need the extra maths to do well.

Well when my teacher said 40+ i think she meant 40+ scaled lol... at least it gives hope

My teacher said I should aim for 45 raw, so thats what I am going for (although realistically, I will be fairly happy if I got 43+)! (scaled = ~51)

I'll be happy if i get 30 raw for specialists D:

that would be a very nice score how many marks can you lose for a 45?? ill aim for a 38 for now, not that confident xD

There needs to be a drastic change in the scaling (what the thread about lol) for that to get scaled to over 50..

Might get scaled to 50 or 51. Was last year (or so I have heard).

No it scaled up to 48.8 last year. Please try harder in order to achieve higher hypothetical grades.

Well I'm aiming for a 50...so whatever. Food Tech has given me the confidence to do so.

lol what score do you reckon you'll get in food tech??
I think i'll increase my aim when i feel more confident xD spesh feels so foreign still

[Romperait]

I was thinking of dropping latin for food tech a while ago and listening to Pixon's adivce just makes me question my decisions even more. Any advice you can give me dude?

[Pixon]

Food Tech definitely. The hours of joy that comes from Food Tech whilst being easy enough to score high is just amazing. Latin over Food tech..GOOD JOKE. (actually this post and my other post is a joke).
