turtle turtle Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 So in the rubrik for the TOK presentation, I got all my ticks in (and 2 in between) the 9-10 column but I think I got an 8. Is it normal for that to happen or is it weird I didn't get a 9 with all the ticks in that section? Also, do the moderators look at these ticks or does that not get sent? So I was wondering if TOK presentation grades often get moderated up? Or do they usually only get moderated down? Thanks! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks!If you got ticks in the 9-10 column, there's no way you could have gotten an 8/10 because the TOK presentation is out of 10 when your teacher marks it. The TOK presentation doesn't really get moderated unless there is a huge discrepancy between how you did on your TOK essay (which is externally assessed) and how you did on the presentation. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what happened though and I was really surprised because if we met all the criteria in the first column, why did we get an 8? Are they generally marked very harshly with teachers never wanting to give 9s and 10s even if the presentation's good? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbTrojan Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 I don't think so. Maybe it's because you said that you had a couple marks in between? So if all of the checks weren't in the 9/10 section, than you can't get that level? 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange.. o.O Did you try asking your teacher about this as well? 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I haven't, because technically they're not meant to tell us what mark we got. Is it likely that my mark would get moderated up, or that the IB would look at the ticks, or do they only look at the TK/PPd? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they only look at your essay unless there is a huge difference between the essay and the presentation. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
