How much does Human bio get scaled down/up

Aaliyan

Hi, I'm doing year 10 subject selection and currently choosing chemistry, English, bio, human bio and methods as my ATARS. I just want to know how much human bio gets scaled down by because I heard the scaling is a bit rough on it, thanks

hey, i'm still in y12 so idk completely but from what i've heard it totally depends on your school. you should ask your teachers/head of learning about last years students scores; sometimes it's a big decrease because that specific school has had easier human bio tests than WACE, but sometimes it's only a 1-2 percent difference if your school stays within the human bio year 12 syllabus. hope this helps

3 science subjects???

🤯🤯🤯🤯 absolute beast

I could only endure one semester of human bio + chem + physics when I did 3 science in yr 11 then dropped human bio.

From memory I think human bio scaled down by 7 points for me in year 11.

Keep in mind though I did pretty badly my mark was around ₆₈

So if you manage to do really well, the scaling will affect you less and you may even be scaled up if you’re on the right side of the curve.

It was a content heavy subject but it wasn’t too bad and since your taking 5 ATAR your experience should be a lot better than mine

if I'm doing medicine should i do specialist or not?
