KMNpls Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Hey guys, Hope everyone did well for their exams. I got a 4 sitting at a 53 on the grade boundary for chem HL and need 1 mark to progress to the next grade boundary. I'm contemplating requesting a remark except that my component scores and total scores are already quite low P2: 25 P3: 33 IA: 15 Anyone has been in a similar situation and has advice to offer?

mac117 Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Personally, I would advise against a remark in your case, unless the IA has been severely moderated down (in which case an appeal would require all the IAs to be remarked). 5 marks is a stretch in any subject, but especially in the sciences. It will most likely end up a 4, and you will lose money. Of course, you can always try, especially if you really need it to meet a university offer.

KMNpls Posted July 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 My apologies, the wording was a little confusing. I meant that I need only 1 mark to progress to the next grade boundary which is a 5. (I've edited the original post) Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference between a 4 and a 5 in a HL subject is tremendous, particularly for US universities where you are likely to get course credits for the latter and none for the former. Moreover, a '5' in a HL implies significant proficiency whereas a '4' is a bare pass. Since you're only 1 mark away, and the benefits are very worthwhile, imo its worth taking the risk of remarking as 1 point is still very realistic even for a hard science subject. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakeellan Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 Hi I retook my Biology and Chemistry HL exams during the November 2018 session. Just got my results today. Made an improvement in both exams from a 3 to a 4. I got a 52% in bio (2%) off a 5 and a 48% in Chem (5%) to a 5. Would like to know whether I should have it remarked and hopefully be able to attain my IB Diploma. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarz Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Hey Guys, I saw this in another post where a GM told people to not comment on posts with your own questions, in that case he told the people to make their own post. Just telling you guys Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
