Lol it is possible to get 100 in 1131. They don't really scale you down like that.
And yes I have heard from my tutor (one of the lectures) about the same thing (highest 1131 > highest 1141).

Sorry, but this just isn't true. When there is a higher and ordinary course running together they always cap the max mark in the ordinary. For example the course handout for MATH2501 says:
The final marks in MATH2501 will be scaled with reference to final marks in MATH2601, taking into consideration the greater degree
of difficulty of MATH2601. As a result few, if any, High Distinction grades will be awarded in MATH2501, and no student will be
awarded a final mark of more than 90%.
In first year they scale up the non shared exam questions on the higher. If each 1131 question is worth 20 then the purely 1141 question might be worth 24, so if you get all of 1131 right you score 80, but getting all of 1141 would score you 92. (I don't know the actual numbers that they use... the lecturer who told me this was a bit vague) Anyway, when they add in all the class tests and stuff it and line up the 1131 and 1141 marks, even if someone gets every possible mark in 1131 (which I believe someone did last session), they can't get a mark in the high 90s.
