This is the scaling process-all scored VCE subjects can go up or down
depending on the statistical magic that VCAA weaves (something along the
lines you mention Alan, but it never made much sense to me!) 
'Supposably' it reflects the difficulty of the subject!!! There is a
chart somewhere (maybe on the VCAA site?) that shows how the scores for
each subject scale each year, for different ranges of scores.
When doing VCE subject selections, our kids and parents often ask
whether the particular subject gets scaled up or down and by how much,
and it has an influence on what some kids choose. Unfortunately there is
definitely less 'regard' or 'respect' for those subjects that scale
down.

This is different to the 10% bonus system that Lesley asked about.
Students who were concerned with an ENTER score would have little
incentive to undertake a VET subject that didn't contribute to their
score. Therefore, if the subject didn't have scored assessment, there
was an bonus offer and an incentive to undertake the subject.
