“scaled up” and “scaled down”

When we hear whether a subject is “scaled up” or “scaled down”, this refers to whether the subject’s raw examination mark tends to translate to a higher or lower scaled mark. For instance, for high-scaling subjects, students who score a raw mark of around 65 to 70 out of 120 may still manage to score a 45 / 50 scaled mark. Therefore, higher scaled subjects are preferable because they allow lower exam marks to be equated to higher scaled marks which are used for ATAR calculation.
