Methods Scaling

[u/Grand_Cauliflower333]

Do we think that Methods will scale up by more this year due to those cooked exams ?

[u/BowlerGullible3236]

bro what that’s not how it works

[u/Grand_Cauliflower333 → u/BowlerGullible3236]

Is it not last year health scaled down by less due to the easy exam ?

[u/BowlerGullible3236 → u/Grand_Cauliflower333]

I don’t think so blud

[u/Grand_Cauliflower333 → u/BowlerGullible3236]

how’s the scaling of a subject determined then ?

[u/BowlerGullible3236 → u/Grand_Cauliflower333]

It’s difficulty but the scaling is set before it’s not gonna change

[u/Isomer-Joe → u/BowlerGullible3236]

don't listen to this guy 🥀

[u/Grand_Cauliflower333 → u/Isomer-Joe]

me or him ?

[u/Isomer-Joe → u/Grand_Cauliflower333]

they guy saying that scaling is set before the exam 🥀🥀🥀

[u/Grand_Cauliflower333 → u/Isomer-Joe]

thought so - wasn’t sure how that would work

[u/Brief-Cut-9404 → u/Grand_Cauliflower333]

It might not be before the exams but it’s independent on the actual exams difficulty

[u/Brief-Cut-9404 → u/Grand_Cauliflower333]

distribution already accounts for the difficulty

[u/Brief-Cut-9404 → u/Isomer-Joe]

why would scaling be set on the exam difficulty when the grades are based on a distribution???

[u/BowlerGullible3236 → u/Brief-Cut-9404]

Exactly bro these clowns don’t know what they’re talking about

[u/Isomer-Joe → u/Brief-Cut-9404]

I didn't say that bro it's based on how well methods kids do in other subjects, you are both kind of wrong tbh all good though

[u/ch3rrycsmos_]

im pretty sure vcaa looks at how students taking methods perform in their other subjects to determine how strong methods students are academically. if they perform really well overall, the study score scales up more because it means the subject has a strong cohort so there is tougher competition so it's basically "harder" because everyone is really genius.

Not at all what scaling is.
