Grade boundaries for the IA in 2008

[angad]

Does anyone have the grade boundaries for last year for the Economics IA's?

Boundaries meaning, in 2007 from 17-20 points on your IA, it was considered a 7

It'll probably end up being 15/20, I think.

It's hard to say because the commentaries aren't meant to be marked individually, but holistically (so taking into consideration all of them, and the dates you wrote them on) because obviously commentaries that you wrote at the beginning of the IB program won't be as good as your current ones.

So I don't understand why your teacher has marked them individually, when the assessment guide for Economics clearly states that they should be marked as a whole.

But 15 is the mean mark of those commentaries, so it may be that as suggested above.

It stayed the same for November 2008:

17-20: 7

15-16: 6

12-14: 5

10-11: 4

Teachers sometimes mark commentaries individually as they are completed then holistically at the end of the year before submission.
