The scaled mark for the student in Subject A will likely be higher than the scaled mark for the student in Subject B. The scaled mark for the student in Subject B will likely be higher than the scaled mark for the student in Subject A. Both students will receive an identical scaled mark because their raw marks were the same. Both students' marks will be scaled down to the state average.
