Ah sorry guys, she made a mistake, its 46 not 49. And yes, i expected some higher scaling for spesh this year.

Way to break my chances of suing VCAA. jks. Someone should really ask them, why scaling was lower this year considering it was a much difficult exam to last year.

Oops, sorry lol. While we think it's hard, there's apparently lots of people who thought it was easy and did well so yea.

The scaling has nothing to do with how difficult the exam was.

But if many people did well then it would scale less wouldnt it?

I thought it was based on competition, and not on difficulty? There was that scaling pamphlet.. something about seeing what the average was for all their other subjects or something. Gotta go find it.

NO.
