crisie93 Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Can anyone tell me how many points are the minimum to get a 7? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daedalus Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Depends on the subject and the year. Overall boundaries will be around 80%. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adletaY Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Spanish is brutal, 87% is a 7! Getting 90% on the IA and Paper 2 is really hard, but achieving 90% on Paper 1 seems next to impossible! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Expired Manwich of Doom Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 For French B SL, I've been told that it is 96%+ Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Summer Glau Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 For French B SL, I've been told that it is 96%+You must live in Ontario then It's the same for me. I hate how some teachers don't understand the mark conversion process...The real mark boundaries aren't nearly that high...Like Daedalus said, they're around 80%.

Sublime Sunshine Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Check here: 2As it says there, the boundaries fluctuate a little bit from year to year so just take this as a general guide. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the mark conversion thing is accurate, who knows Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhaldud Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) Also, what would you have to get on the IOP roughly to attain a 6 or 7 easily?^French B SL Edited April 5, 2011 by rhaldud Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Cream is really yummy Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 I'm doing HL french 1A. Don't ask me why. My school's francophone and well, we're still the guinea pigs I guess We have no classes to choose from, the whole diagram is given to us. Either we take it, or leave it!My math teacher (he's the coordinator at our school-- he's really good) anyway, he's told us that in math, a 4, I believe, is "80%" for the most part. But I really have to double check here.... Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm doing Math SL. Math is definitely NOT my forte, so I am SO grateful that in our diagram, it was a "standard level" IB course, ahaha. I remember him comparing the grading between history and math... they were significantly different. But see, the way that each PROVINCE/TERRITORY/STATE/(everything else) is graded based on their syllabus. And, as far as my school goes, we're being tested on both our syllabus for our grade (ministry-thingy for where we live) and then there's the IB criteria. Soo... all the teachers are mixing it all up together, and so our "grades" are, in my opnion, not really fair and thought out. Thus, there is no definitive way of really letting our teachers "predict" our IB marks based on our in-class grades. That's my take on it anyway.

jess1ca Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) For French B SL, I've been told that it is 96%+That's what your mark gets converted to if you get a 7. IB doesn't really do percentages. 7 is a 7.Usually you need a score of around mid 80 out of 100 though. It changes every year slightly, it gets bell curved or something. But for predicted grades our took our IAs and old exams, got a score out of 100. 84 and up is a 7.For all our IB subjects, the IB grade is worth basically everything, even though we do cover non- IB material as well. Our mark is converted to a range and depending on how well we did during the school year, they pick a grade out of that range.

My Arabic SL exam is tomorrow and I also need to achieve an 87% or above for a 7 Goodluck with Spanish!!How did it go?Ah, Spanish is on Wednesday . . . Time to go through all the words on all the practice papers I have done and memorize them or whatever. I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but isn't it weird how the individual mark boundaries don't add up to the overall mark boundaries?I mean, if you actually added up the minimum grades for 7s in the IA, P1, and P2, you would get 27+36+26 = 89 for a 7, not 87. Must be the curve or something, but either way, I'm not complaining. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
