IOP 5 on IOC and IOP ; possible to get a 7 overall?

[icy]

If I got a 5 on both my IOC and IOP, and assuming I ace my exams, is it possible to get a 7 overall?

[dessskris]

yes yes it is possible, but you really have to ace your papers 1 and 2.

so good luck!

Sure, if you get more than a 90% on both papers. Is that possible? It's highly unlikely.

Do your best, don't think of the number at the end. If you put in all the effort you possibly can, there's not much more you can do except pray to your God of choice for the IB to not screw you over with an exceptionally difficult question or passage.

It would be extremely difficult, and depends on the quality of your WL1 and WL2 as well.

If you do some very rough math:

Assume a 5.5 IOP/IOC combo @ 30%. That's 1.65 out of 7.

You still need 7-1.65 = 5.35 to get a 7.

You have 70% left to get that 5.35, which means that 70% needs to have a score of at least 7.64, which is a high 7.

You'd have to get a 7 on your WL1, your WL2, your P1, AND your P2. All of those 7s would have to be high 7s - not just the bottom of the boundary for a 7.

Thanks for the replies ! I definitely have to up my ante then.

If you can say what your marks were on both orals then I could try and give you a more accurate estimate.
