Your Physics mark will not always scale up, a comment like that shows a total lack of understanding about how the ATAR is calculated. Even if you get 95%+ in the internal and external exams you could get scaled down. Never pick a subject because someone tells you 'oh, but it has good scaling!'
Tony,
You do not know anything about what you are talking about!
95% in the external exam will equate to a 95 raw exam mark. A 95 raw exam mark will be then be moderated to a 98+ examination mark.
A 98+ examination mark will scale up, contrary to what you said.
Also, a 95 examination mark will most probably get you close to a state ranking (bearing in mind that the cut off for a band 6 last year was 83 raw).
On top of that, you have a 95% internal mark, which equates to 95. If we assume you come first in your cohort, this will then be the same as your external examination mark, which in this case is 98+. These two scores, aligned internal and moderated external are then added together and divided by two.
So we're looking at a 98+ HSC mark. If you're going to argue to the contrary of a 98+ HSC mark scaling up, then you are completely out of your mind.
So please don't talk about something you know little about!
K.thnx.bai!
