We get our IB scores converted into the local system and then our applications are sent to universities.They do not look at our raw IB scores, or independent subjects, its just total score.It's a sad reality until the universities start accepting applications based on raw IB scores.

Melbourne Uni is one of them - for example, a clearly-in rank for Biomed at MelbUni is 98.45 ATAR (converted IB RAW 41+) but only 36 for an actual IB RAW (but you have to get certain scores in certain IB subjects, at least 4 in English and one of Physics/Chem/Bio I think). Not that that affects me much, but it's a huge difference! Edited January 7, 2012 by Schrödinger's Cat Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that that affects me much, but it's a huge difference!I'm also from Melbourne and have checked their booklet (UniMelb) several times and I'm quite sure that 36+ applies only for international students. Domestic students don't receive that luxury (I may be wrong but take another look for yourself). chrypton I noted the obvious sarcasm lol. But from where I am from that single mark could be the difference between a scholarship or a guaranteed entry into a graduate program.Nonetheless the scores posted are fantastic and a commendable achievement. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might check again later, though.And yeah, isn't it stupid how the national scholarship is 99.90 ATAR so 44 doesn't get you there (at least in Victoria)?! It's so unfair.In South Australia (scroll about 3/4 down) anything 43+ is a 99.95 ATAR. How awesome is that?!

Yeah, I'm from South Australia and our school consistently has quite a few students getting 99.95s. The conversion rate is really favourable from SACE to IB, its awesome! Too bad that I want to study interstate . By the way, congratulations all you November candidates! Really inspirational for someone who is about to start IB Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must understand all theories and able to do all questions you met before. NO MERCY. Practice a lot. By the way, 90+ percentage for both math and physics. So if you do these, 7 should be guaranteed.Good Luck! Edited January 14, 2012 by tomzzz Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Stark Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Congrats to you high achievers! 40 and 42 are amazing scores! May I ask which schools you went to? My graduating class are only the second IB cohort at my school, and last year's highest mark was 31, this year's 32.May I ask what school *you* went to? Sounds like you guys were in much the same boat as us over at Haileybury. We did have a 37, but the kid who got it was an undoubtable 43+ at any school that knew what they were doing. We don't finish HL Chem or Maths courses before exams, and get moderated down in every subject except Eco. For Christs' sake, we don't even have ToK classes. Myself and a Year 11 Bio SL student were the only 7s in the exam session. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
