ESL scales higher than STANDARD? (2 Viewers)

Why?

There's probably a forum on this. But I'm to lazy to search it.

Adv & Standard scale the same.

Standard is capped lower than ESL though.

 

[iRuler]

The question was about scaling.

 

[Dragonmaster262]

I think OP is referring ot why Standard is capped lower than ESL rather than scaled (probably is mixed up by the terminology). Why else would she bother posting a thread if both courses scale the same?

 

[iRuler]

maybe... but thats OP's fault

Adv & Standard scale the same.

they scale the same, a 80 in standard is same as 80 in advance in terms of scaling. Standard is harder to get good marks. Top 3-4% get band 5 + in standard, while top 30-35% get it in advance.

ESL scales like 0.5 more than Standard
according to Matrix Atar Calculator
while also percentage wise it's easier to get a higher mark in ESL than Standard too. So not only does it scale a bit higher, it's easier to do well, and more people get band 6.

is it better to do ESL than advanced?

Based on this I'd say you'd be saving a lot of precious time by taking up ESL and still do well in it. Though there's quite a number of uni's with English standard or advanced as a prerequisite.

I believe med requires eng standard/adv

 

[rundotop]

but not most of these prequisite
are just recommended
and not complusory....

and when you know how to speak and write english. It's not that important to know what a simile, metaphor is and it's effect is when you're cutting up people in the future.

well im not going to do med so that wont effect me much. maybe i should think about taking ESL then.
