Since people were saying someone should post this in the SB and it appears that IB results are starting to come through... So post your results and reactions :D

English A2 HL - 7
Finnish A1 HL - 6
History HL - 7
EE (History ) - A
Economics SL - 6
Biology SL - 6
Mathematics SL - 7
ToK - B

Reaction: Missed my predicted grades by two points and might go for remarks in Finnish or Econ... BUT it's all good, got my diploma, met my uni offer and I can finally call myself an IB alumnus and not think about IB ever again :D:D

(Saying that... I might apply to tutor IB courses so......)

My results seem silly compared to yours, but:

Math HL - 5
Physics HL - 5
English B HL - 6

Polish A1 SL - 5
History SL - 5
German B SL - 7

EE (Physics) - C
TOK - C
Total: 34 pts.

Well, I'm not fully satisfied with my results, cos I expected to have a 6 in math and physics. However it's not bad and I still managed to get into the university that I wanted.
What surprised me is my result at TOK and EE - in both of these I had a predicted A. Getting C is not what I would be satisfied with, but luckily it didn't change anything...

Wow. I am surprised and humbled.

Math HL - 6
A2 English HL - 7
Economics HL - 7
History (Europe & Middle East) HL - 7

A1 Czech SL - 7
Physics SL - 7

EE in Economics - B
TOK - A

Overall - 44 pts.

I honestly did not expect this, jetlagged as I was prior to the exams; my predicted grades have been spot-on. I am contemplating a Math HL retake to tackle the mythical 45, but probably won't go through with it.

Wow.

@khan911 Your school gets your IB Diploma apparently in mid-august or at least according to ibanswers (http://ibanswers.ibo...d/31/kw/diploma). I'm not exactly sure what it contains, but this is what the front looks like http://flaglerlive.c...-ib-diploma.jpg

On my part I can say that my coordinator was too busy to say anything else than congratulations for graduating, which most apparently in the Finnish context means that I receive my diploma :) But I'll be back with my actual results tomorrow :D

I got...

English HL 7
Chemistry HL 7
Biology HL 7
French SL 7
Psychology SL 7
Maths SL 6

EE B
TOK C

Overall 42

I was so happy with all my subject grades, I was genuinely not expecting that! @Slovakov - I was confused about my TOK too! I don't really feel like I have the right to complain about my results, but the thing is I got full marks for my TOK presentation, so I don't really know how I got a C! Maybe we should ask for a remark!

ENGLISH A1 HL: 6
HIST.AMERICAS HL: 5
BIOLOGY HL: 6
SPANISH B SL: 6
PSYCHOLOGY SL: 6
MATH.STUDIES SL: 6
EE HUMAN RIGHTS: D
TOK: B
EE/TOK points:1
Total Points:36

I was really excited about Biology and Spanish, but I was anticipating at least a 6 in History of the Americas. Also for all of the effort I put into my Extended Essay I was disappointed with my grade. I wrote about the Holocaust and my paper was sent to Germany (that sure entertained many of my classmates), but I didn’t think it was a terrible paper (oh well). My TOK grade was also a very great shock. Overall I am extremely excited with my scores and very pleased to be done with IB!!!

Yes, I know right? We don't need big scores, just a 5+ on the classes we want credit for...which it looks like you got :P

Hey when was your SL Physics exam (this year or last year)? I thought you would have gotten a 7 because you are always active on the Physics forum threads...

It was....2 months ago?
I only took 1/2 the curriculum in class because I skipped the first year of it so I had to catch up on the rest. I'm able to help answer a few but nothing about waves and oscillations....which paper2 had enough of that to make me want to burn it >.>

Now, I'm scared of my Physics exam mark. Hoped for a 6 but after seeing yours, I doubt that's a possibility...

Gotta wait 12 hours, let's see how it goes...
