elaifyanre Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 60% is usually a 5.85% is a definite 7, usually 7 is above 80%.Try your best to excel the exams and you still have a chance of getting a 7, but 85% is nearly impossible.Wait, isn't the school's marks going to be curved up? I mean you are also in Canada and probably in Ontario... Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

turquoiseisblue Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 I'm from Ontario, Canada as well and it's true. A 60% is definitely an IB-scale 3. At my school, a 7 is 96% or above. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elaifyanre Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 I'm from Ontario, Canada as well and it's true. A 60% is definitely an IB-scale 3. At my school, a 7 is 96% or above.A school 3 means a 3 in the IB course at school, because the Ontario course is significantly easier so when converting the Ontario coursework to IB score the grade boundaries are very high. However as OP got a 29/48 in the IA which is part of IB coursework, not Ontario coursework, if the score is the score sent to IB and it does not get moderated down he will get around 5 for the IA part.In other words: if the score is already the IB score with a bonus for the Ontario course (meaning IB converted to Ontario, not the opposite) then it probably means a 3, but if this is the original IB score then it should be an IB 5.
