Aldnoah Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Hi people, I have an urgent concern about my term 1 grade... I have been predicted 7 in my mandarin A and a B in TOK. However, in the first term grade 12 I only got 6 in Mandarin and 5 in TOK (we use 1-7 grading scale for term mark). I found out afterwards from my mandarin teacher that had I got 1 more mark on any of my assignments, I would have got 7 for term 1. I am very worried about my chance of getting in top universities right now. Also, does TOK term grade affect my chance to get in? My TOK teacher is really strict and my writing can barely satisfy him... Anyone any suggestions for me? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gk786 Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 The TOK grade isnt worth very much. 100% of it comes from the TOK presentation and the TOK essay, so the term grade is worthless. Your TOK grade is combined with the Extended Essay mark and you get a mark from 0-3 depending on how you did on both. Also, you should check what your university considers as grades, since they often wont even consider the TOK and EE marks in your application. I dont know about Mandarin, but the language courses are very hard to get a 7 in. All you can do is go over what you have and immerse yourself in it (read mandarin books, listen to mandarin music, etc...) and you'll probably do good in it.
