Similar to VCE scaling, cohorts are fitted to a 'bell curve' and marks scaled up or down to fit. Since Business Finance is 'easy', the assessments are generally easy, and generally most people try because they all want to be IB'ers (lol), the subject is scaled down a lot (basically the average score/50 for assessments before the exam was in the HD range).

lecturer's rarely scale down i think. i've only heard of one engineering lecturer who has had to fail a student to achieve his bell curve. it's really up to the lecturer's to set a suitable exam+assessments which will naturally achieve a good spread of results. students can ask to view their exam, calculate the marks they got and enquire why they got a lower score than they expected-situations which lecturers like to avoid. also, commerce lecturers are pretty soft compared to other faculties.
