So you're final raw mark is also scaled in university right? much like highschool?
and harder courses (sciences) means higher scaling? yes?

Like MATH1131 <--> MATH1141 Yes
MATH1131 <--> PHYS1131 No

Nothing like high school. I swear there was a thread on this shit a week ago.

Scaling isn't something you should concern yourself with at uni, especially not after first year.

Pretty much, if your worried about scaling you pretty much admitted defeat. If you do good then you'll get a good mark.
In what i was saying, the harder variations of courses ie MATH1141 will scale better than 1131 only if you do well.

i dont think most courses are scaled.
it's not really like HSC.
Subjects in HSC were scaled so that different subjects were on the same scale so to say.
There's no such thing in uni, apart from maybe math1131/1141 and similar.

Basically, you will get your raw mark for your final grade.

Yes, courses are scaled to align marks with previous years as exam papers do vary in difficulty. Each school will do it differently though.
