I do 1 unit and i got 12 units all up im hoping to do well in SOR so that it will take half of a 2 unit subject away or add to my 3 unit maths mark

Hey 2 unit scales really well. Its one of the higher order humanities because it is considered highly academic (note considered). I hope I did well in it in case I stuff up legal next wednesday...which there is a reasonable chance of. Then again I do 12 units so I have that cool safety net, and english extension 2 is said to pay really well also

im just wondering, cos i do 2 unit and see it as easy marks that scale well (Apparently) and will make me go well. thats why i did 2u and why i worked hard in it.

but most of u do 1u and wont count it rite?
yeah thats why i dropped biology and picked up 2 unit religion ...
so yeah 2unit will count for me

i thought i wouldn't need the 1 unit religion until my maths exam on wednesday, and i only do 11 units (silly me dropped physics...) so i'm hoping i get good in this one... even though i walked out of the exam early :p

religion as a scaled up subject

I have been told that religion is usually scaled up as a difficult subject.

My analysis:

Religion is one of the largest courses - most number of people, second after english i believe? due to a high level of spirituality in nsw? or because many catholic schools make religion manditory.

these high levels of people that are forced to do religion often take harder subjects, that are more relevant to our life, (not knocking religion, good for social services..)

SMart students who achieve well in every other exam dont give a shit about their mandatory religion unit, and so dont study at all ( Thats me! ^_^ )

board of studies sees results for religion exams with an unusually low raw mark.
As the people who take religion are not all dumb, they assume that it was difficult.
therefore they scale it up a lot,

This is my supporting argument for my leaving early, and writing the entire exam in capital letters, just to amuse the marker,
now i have contributed to the low marks that scale the rest of the state up with this usless unit.
