kingsnqueens Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 I heard somewhere that it is possible to have your predicted mark show up on your transcript instead of the one given by IB? Is this possible? I got a 5 in Geography SL but I was predicted a 6. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetnsimple786 Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 If it's a transcript made by your school, it's possible, and it's up to the school/counselor/teachers/IB Coordinator. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachez Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 You mean when mailing the scores to universities they can send predicted grades as official ones? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrypton Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Surely you must be joking. Of course it's not possible, because then everyone would be getting 7s. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandwich Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 If it is possible, it'll only be possible in the USA/Canada Certainly not for applying anywhere in Europe.Personally, and this is coming from a European perspective -- I don't know what is considered the norm elsewhere, perhaps people do practise this elsewhere -- I would consider it a form of academic deception. It doesn't seem ethically right to effectively cheat by taking a hypothetical mark instead of the real one! If a University here (in the United Kingdom) found out that you'd done it, you'd be out on your ear as having provided fraudulent information about your academic qualifications.Having said that, I don't know what you're allowed. If they'll let you, then go you, I guess. One other option would be to just take Geography again next May, or this November, and see if you can push the grade up. Most people take their subjects all at once after 2 years in any case. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
