Mcgill asked for my attainment grades from the report for my first term in school.also, are final IB exams that important.thanks Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sid1729 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 hey ... i dont about the uni's you applie to but Waterloo uni in canda gave me a conditional offer for 28 points. Though the offer its easy... i doubt canadian schools just need to know you have got the diploma!Anyways i don;t think the mocks are counted at all... but they do ask for mid year reports... so just hope your mocks don't be included in them!

Bishup Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 if you get a 6.9 average on each subject, McGill will give you a big ass scholarship so work hard, the rewards are great. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAnotherAsian Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 yes Mcgill is really bad for IB scholar ships since less than 3 % of people get more than 42 points. your predicted (or mock ) exams do count for admissions for most universities. However, they probably will not rescind admissions if you get a low score. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's their policy, not mine. If you want to be sure, you can check their site yourself. They're not hiding the info, and it's not hard to find.

dudeinabox Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Yes, I'd say your mock exams are crucial. I say this because in my school (and other Canadian IB schools to my knowledge) base university transcript submissions on your predicted/anticipated marks.So it would be of your best interest to nail your mocks and get a high predicted so you will at minimum get a conditional acceptance to the school of your choice.I am not saying however that your mocks are more important than your actual IB exams because some universities may revoke your acceptance if you have a much lower IB score than your predicted.However, an IB senior I once knew was predicted a 34, but ended up with a 27 and was still admitted into UoT St.George campus...Theres really no use in asking yourselves silly questions like these, just study and you will turn out fine.

butters Posted February 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) no im saying the mocks for the second year.i have my predicted grades based on the exam for the end of the first year, now i have mock exams coming up in march. im asking because ill only have 2 weeks to study, and all exams all crammed together in an 8 day period. i dont think ill do as well in these mock exams as in my finals. Also, i heard that McGill would still offer you a place in your course even if your final grades are a few points lower than the predicted. but you're right, ill study as hard as i can Edited April 9, 2011 by Summer Glau no text speak Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about your school, but my school does not change predicted grades unless your mock exam grade differs from your predicted grade by more than 1 point.Generally, universities will accept a few points below predicted if the offer conditions are not specified, but you should check with the university just in case.

cheriecherie Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) Sorry May I ask you a question?Will the mocks influence the final IB grade? Edited April 9, 2011 by Summer Glau no text speak Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dessskris Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Sorry May I ask u a question?Will the mocks influence the final IB grade?No... Not in any way at all. Mock exams are conducted by schools and are graded by your teachers at school, not by the IB examiners. These are just to prepare you for the real exams. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
