Spanish B exam for new curriculum

[Smile44]

Hello! As you may know, the curriculum for Spanish B SL has changed. Can anyone give any tips for acing the paper 1 and 2. Also, what would be the approximate grade boundaries and the scaling factor for each to get the composite score. Thank you.

Hey for the grade boundaries my teacher told me that:

For Paper 1:

40-45 = 7

33-39 = 6

26-32 = 5

For Paper 2:

22-25 = 7

19-21 = 6

16-19 = 5

And I only know that to get a 7 in the orals you need 27/30.

Then Paper 1 worth 25%, Paper 2 25%, Orals 30% and Coursework 20%

Good luck for your exams

By coursework do you mean the written assignment we did? And what would the overall boundaries be?

What would be the overall boundaries, do you know? And how would you compute the total points?

No one knows the overall boundaries yet since the exam is in a new format. They will calculate the boundaries after everyone has taken the exam and use that to assign grades. You can probably use the old syllabus mark boundaries to kind of guess where they'll be, but I wouldn't worry too much and would just wait for them to come out.

You can compute the total points by multiplying what you got in each component (the IA part, paper 1, and paper 2) by its component weight. I'm not sure how much each part counts now, but you can look that up.
