Without causing a fight.. i would like to introduce a thread about scaling. Everyone has different opinions on CAFS in relation to scaling and hopefully people will understand this issue a bit more from this thread.. im in no way a scaling expert this is purely my opinion and if u wish to refute please do so in a mature manner.. not the 'ur a n00b u dont know anything'
all subjects scale differently.. some scale high and some scale low.. many people see cafs as being a low scaler compared to extension subjects and sciences like physics and chemistry.. but why is that? many students choose cafs as a 'bludge' subject and therefore bring the scaling down.. because they arent planning on going to uni and dont need to do well everyone else has to suffer. many students who do extension subjects do well.. as (not sure about other schools) they have been approved by teachers to be taking the course.. which means that only the best at the subject keep it (as with social science subjects they cant really kick you out if you are failing). so cafs has many intelligent and talented students.. but they are being dragged down by the people who dont really care.. while extension subjects have the cream of the crop (kinda like how james ruse has the best students..).
people shouldnt discourage others from doing subjects which 'scale badly', as some people end up choosing all science and maths subjects while they may be more talented at social science subjects.. and end up doing badly and getting a bad uai because they hate the subjects they chose. there isnt much point in picking up a boring subject because it scales well.. its better to do an interesting subject which u can actually achieve a better result in.
at my school i think we all motivate each other to do well.. and many others should be doing the same (hehe remember.. its all about group dynamics and group cohesion
). any student studying any subject will get scaled down if they do bad.. or get scaled up if they do well.. so everyone just do your best in all your subjects and good luck
