VCAA should just make every vce subjects of equal difficulty (with a few minor exceptions, like further maths vs specialist maths), then there's no much need of scaling and therefore makes things more fair.

That's like comparing apples and oranges. You can't really say objectively that apples are better than oranges.


Oranges are better than apples because they taste better.

But I think apples taste better than oranges.

jeśli rozumie matematyki specjalisty, i będzie zmuszony zamknąć i siedzieć w domu
如果你的意思是数学专家，我将被迫退出并坐在家中
Se si intende matematica specialista, sarei costretto ad uscire e stare a casa
