Pepe Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 I need May 2013 English B HL grade boundaries so badly, anyone can help me? Or, if you received 86-88% overall could you share with me your component grades? 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjy Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) Pepe, e-mail your IBC, they get all the boundaries for subjects sat by pupils at your school although, could you share your Geography component grades with me? As I'm very close to a 7! Edited July 10, 2013 by cjy Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuler Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 @cjy: My IBC is being an absolute *insert bad word here* and is refusing to give me this year's grade boundaries. Do you have all of them, if so, could you share them here for us? I'd especially like to know the boundaries for Spanish Ab. Initio and English Lit Lang SL. Thanks! 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if that is remarked when you file for one, or only paper 1 and 2 are remarked? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepe Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 (edited) I'm looking for the old IB wisdom I calculated that if my written assignment and paper 2 in English B are remarked by one point up, the overall result will be 87,733.A friend of mine achieved 88 and got a 7. Therefore my question is - would my 87,733 be treated as 88 and mean a 7?@Pepe Ah thank you very much!

I'm pretty sure they remark the WA because it is the part of external examination. They don't remark internals.But correct me if I'm wrong. If they don't remark WAs then my planned remarking would not make sense... Edited July 12, 2013 by Pepe Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically our sample is going to be re-moderated (and the school pays for it). Happens when the moderator's mean mark differs from the teacher's by 15%.

TykeDragon Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 I made a huge thread of as many grade boundaries as I could Yahooo, check it out! 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TykeDragon Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Btw @Pepe I didn't see this clarified earlier so I wanted to state your 87.7 would indeed be rounded up to 88 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepe Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) Btw @Pepe I didn't see this clarified earlier so I wanted to state your 87.7 would indeed be rounded up to 88 Thanks so much, no one, whom I asked, could answer this question I already decided to remark English B, but if the final results are rounded then my chances are greater, it's good to know!EDIT: I just want to clarify one more thing - they will also remark my written assignment since it is the part of the external examination, right?

Yahooo! Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 1% away from the next boundary, is it worth a remark? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepe Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 1% away from the next boundary, is it worth a remark?Yes it is if you want the better grade or need it for the university. The final grade is rounded: you may have received 87.4 and if the grade boundary for a 7 is 88+ you're only 0.6 away from the higher grade Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
