Thrashmaster Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 It always changing. It depends on how the people who take the exams do that year. So the answer is that you need enough marks to beat most everyone else Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie Robin Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 you're sure? Because I know in HL HIstory the exact boundaries. Like a 7 = 40 marks on paper 3 (out of 60) for example.How many questions can we miss on paper 1 to get a 7? (Like how our teachers grade us). Paper 2? 3?

Sandwich Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 you're sure? Because I know in HL HIstory the exact boundaries. Like a 7 = 40 marks on paper 3 (out of 60) for example. How many questions can we miss on paper 1 to get a 7? (Like how our teachers grade us). Paper 2? 3? In HL History the grade boundaries will also vary slightly year to year, although on the whole they tend to be quite similar when they're out of smaller numbers. You can find mark boundaries across the years here: http://www.ibsurvival.com/topic/841-mark-boundaries/ I suggest you don't miss any questions! If you want a 7, answer them all!! If you're missing questions because you don't know the answers, chances are you've not got sufficient knowledge and so you're not going to be getting a 7.

Marie Robin Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Thanks a lot!!! Thats helpful. Now I now where to aim. Im expecting a 6 ish.I also looked at your "signature" at the bottom and you're predicting a 42 (I need to get a 41 if I wanna attend my dream school which is really hard but it may not seem that impossible. I also have english litterature HL (which I am aiming a 5) and do you know the boundaries for this one too (although it might change, do you know the one from previous years)?

I think you need around 58% to 60% to get a 5 for English Lit HL Which university are you looking at? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
