But there is a trend for the mark boundaries, right?

Physics is always 65-70%, Chemistry 70-80%...

[Desy Glau]

the mark boundaries do change but usually not much. for example if this year it's 80%-100%, next year it wouldn't change to 60%-100%, unless a new and very different syllabus is introduced.

so yeah... it usually changes a bit, but not really much. that's why people often refer to old mark boundaries to judge their mocks or IAs.

Hey guys, sorry if it's already been asked, but when will the May 2011 grade boundaries be published?

[master135]

The IB coordinators should have them in a couple of weeks with the component marks for each student.

Does anyone have the HL Mandarin B grade boundaries? Any year is fine, I just need to get a rough idea of the cut-off points. Thanks

Does anyone know the minimum score to get a 7 in IB English HL A1?

Over the past few years its ranged from 78 to 80. I got a 77. But I'm really curious to see how much off I was.

Here are TZ2 component grades for many subjects. Calculate the overall boundary using the weight factors of the component boundaries.

does anybody know how you can figure out which timezone you're in?

[master135]

North and South America are TZ1 and the rest of the world is TZ2.

Thanks master135!

I was wondering if anyone received this year's grade boundaries from their IBC or from any other source. I have recieved my component marks but my IBC is away right now so I cannot ask mark boundaries from them.

I need the May 2011 TZ1 Overall boundaries for each subject(not the component boundaries)

If you have it I would appreciate it if you would share! If you need more information like the subjects I need the overall boundaries for let me know.

[master135]

You can calculate the overall boundaries by applying the weight factors to the component boundaries.

For example-
paper 1: 30 to 40 is a 7 and paper 1 is worth 25%
paper 2: 60 to 70 is a 7 and paper 2 is worth 75%

Then the overall boundary for a 7 is: 25*(30/40) + 75*(60/70) = 83

Thanks, do you happen to have the component boundaries for TZ1?

i think its 18-20 for an A in TOK... not 19-20....

[Desy Glau]

I just re-checked with the 2009, 2010 and 2011 boundaries, an A is 19-20. I didn't edit the picture.
