Why does English scale so horribly, even compared to easier subjects like Maths?? (2 Viewers)

Raw Marks are greater than Aligned marks.

Math Advanced scaling much better than English suggests that Math Advanced must be more difficult. Except it's not, you have to be retarded to get a band 4 or below since it's accounting for alignment. You only have to get a raw of 46/100 in the actual math advanced exam to get a 73 HSC exam mark. Meanwhile in English you need a raw 55/100 to get a HSC exam mark of 73/100, which scales incredibly low compared to even a 60 hsc mark in math advanced

Because people simply refrain from actually performing good in English. They dismiss it as unimportant or unnecessary, not considering that it has a significant impact on their ATAR. Standard especially is the worst because of so many dropkicks and ATAR Jokers in that subject. And some schools have advanced English as a compulsory course, which means dropkicks are present there as well. Maths on the other hand is not compulsory, so a lot of smarter people tend to get into advanced. Schools like Penrith, Sydney Tech and other selective schools also have advanced as a compulsory course, adding to that smartness. So, please take English seriously lmao.

how do they even know how much to scale each subject to?

I think it's cause English both Advanced and Standard is full of dropkicks who can't even do basic algebra in other subjects so UAC thinks you have to be very good in English to not be the average and get a low atar contribution

yet another reason why English shouldn't be compulsory

English Advanced and Standard scale the exact same. The UAC calculator is lying to you because of limited data below 80 hsc mark. UAC themselves state they scale the exact same on their annual report. https://atarestimator.streamlit.app/ This is the most accurate atar calculator
