This thread is to compare predicted grades to actual grades. I'm starting this because I had little faith in my teacher's predicted grades (we apply as independents not via our school) and most of my fellow classmates felt they got screwed. Please post in a format similar to the one below.

Predicted/Actual: 3/4

Biology SL: 6/6
Psychology SL: 7/5
Math Methods SL: 6/7
English A1 HL: 7/6
Danish B HL: 7/7
Economics HL: 6/7
TOK: A/B
EE (Danish): A/A
Predicted Total: 42
Actual Total: 41

I'm not sure why teachers are so bad at predicting grades but it really is a problem. I think it sucks that the people who teach us for 2 years have no influence on our final grade yet an examiner in a country far far away whom we will never meet decides our fate. Anyway, curious to see how bad your predictions were, post away.

My teachers were actually pretty close for my predictions. My chem teachers had told me that they knew I would get a 7 but predicted me a 6 just in case because they like to lowball their predictions. And economics was completely unexpected, I really didn't even think I would get my predicted 6 in it. The only thing I'm disappointed in is english, no one from my school got higher than a 5 and there were at least 5 people predicted high 6 in it (including me)..so either our examiner is really lazy and gave everyone the same mark or they mark really hard or we all bombed the exam .

But I got better overall than my predicted so I'm satisfied.
