Gaby Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 It would affect your grade, but it wouldn't mean you fail IB/subject. FoA is only a part of your grade. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Befuddled Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Don't worry you won't! Just make sure to observe your teacher when you discuss articles in class. And you can almost copy his/her style and get the best grades possible in your presentation. And have a plan in your head with some small notes while doing your FOA. DO NOT COPY INFORMATION FROM ONLINE - a classmate got no grade because of that. I received 24/30 on my first try 2 weeks ago. Good luck!

kw0573 Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 It's like saying if you fail a test you'll fail the class. No, it all depends on how much the test is worth and how you did in other assignment. To get the diploma (if you are a diploma student), you have to submit something for all IAs and final and get a limited number of 2s and 3s.

Yes, your final grade in that subject, out of 7. The one that goes on your diploma/certificate. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
beth- Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 It may affect your predicted grade, but it won't affect much more than that, as the best FOA is the one considered, which means that if you were to not do so well on this particular one, yet do well on the next one, that's fine. Vice versa, if you did well on the last one but didn't do well on this one, the initial one that you did well on will be considered. It's also only 15% of your grade, so don't worry too much about it. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
