In my school all serious history students choose HL, and the science minded people choose SL for an easy ride. I got a 5 on my exam and someone told me that my overall results were very good, but that they just couldn't help but stare at the 5 in history.Congrats on all of your 7s!

kim luffy Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 I'm glad to see everyone with such high scores. But I, on the other hand, am in a more dreadful situation. My scores are beyond lack-luster and I couldn't believe it when I saw them. I keep refreshing and hoping maybe something was wrong, but nothing has changed. I know many say it's not the end of the world, but I'm going to get probably no credit, and wanted to be one of the few to get a diploma at our school (low resource public school with no funds to even sustain the program, historically after 4 years and about 70 students, only 4 have gotten the diploma.) not for entitlement, but to prove what could come from a little public school. I guess I was wrong for caring so much and trying so hard when I had numerous classmates who didn't. Sorry to spoil your thread considering everyone else has passed with such nice scores, but I just....I just tried so hard and NONE of these scores make since to me, nor do they accuractely reflect my performance as a student.English A1 HL - 3Spanish B SL - 4History HL - 3Chemistry SL - 3Math Studies SL - 5 (I got a 19/20 on my IA for crying out loud! And I knew every single question on that test!)Music EE - CMusic HL - 3TOK - DTotal points 21 , Diploma not awarded.

The Economist Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Is it possible to know your exact mark total?You mean in each paper? Yes, the grade breakdowns show how many marks you got in each paper of each subject (and EE/TOK). Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know when they release the mark boundaries?When you get the component grades, the coordinator will have the grade boundaries as well so definitely in less than a week.Those are already out! I know physics HL TZ2 was 64% for a 6! Coz a friend of mine got exactly that and he said someone else got 63% and it was a 5!This doesn't mean the schools have the grade boundaries. You can just guess around what percentage the grade changes.Have they been set? Of course. Quite a while back. Otherwise how would they establish the students' grades? This doesn't mean the schools know them already. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBCONQUERER Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 When I said I got 82% I was trying to say that your mark is already available to your school so you can go and find out or call, so thats my point! I didn't get what you meant by point I actually thought the grade! And yes they issued the boundaries to my school as well, as soon as I find out I will post them. I'm trying to help and if it sounds like anything else I am sorry! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That percentage doesn't tell you much by itself. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokerface Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Polish is the worst. Out of all subjects I fear it the most, although I do SL as well.I have this impression that the examiners are way more strict than those of other languages...But, wow, congrats! It sure is! No one at my school got a 7 in that... even though I was predicted one. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK in ENGLISH AI pride myself on math, and while I'm a tad disappointed that I didn't get a 7, it's okay because my school tends to do terribly at HL Math. I had to study quite a bit on my own, and I still get the same credit as if I got a 7.I don't think I deserved my A on the Extended Essay, however. It's full of typos and mathematical errors. It's also a rather basic topic that I didn't realize was part of the syllabus (the part on Euler's Identity, at least): functions of complex numbers. Also, I resorted to writing random phrases in Japanese, and so did everyone else at my school who wasn't a native speaker. We should have been offered the Ab Initio exam.
