omri Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Okay, so I know the portfolios are 10% each, P1 is 40% and P2 is 40%..But how is the grade actually decided?To they take the marks from each thing and do an average?Do they take the number you got on the test, (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) and average that?If I got a 5 on my IA, will two sevens be enough to score a 7, or do I need high 7's? What about a 5 on the IA, and a 6 and a 7?In short, how is our final grade decided? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Summer Glau Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 The gods of IB math have the final say on your grade.So make burnt offerings to them, worship their picture 3x a day at minimum, chant, etc. Whatever it takes.Your paper 1, 2 and IA grades will be scaled to give you a total score out of 100. To scale your individual scores, you have to multiply each of your assessments by a certain number (the IB grade boundaries will tell you which numbers) and add them up to give you a total out of 100. So if you got 73/90 on paper 1, 82/90 on paper 2, and 25/40 on your IA, multiply 73 by 0.444, 82 by 0.444, and 25 by 0.5. Then add those up which will give you a total out of 100. Then check the grade boundaries to see what grade out of 7 the total corresponds to.So...72*0.444 = 31.96882*0.444 = 36.40825*0.5 = 12.5total = 80.476That would be a high 6.You can download the IB grade boundaries for yourself in the General IB downloads section. http://www.ibsurviva...oundaries-2010/To answer your other question: if you got a 5 on your IA, you would probably need two 7s, one low 7 and one mid-to-high 7 to get a 7 overall. 2 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the actual marks you get? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CasaNova Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 no.. you multiply number of points you get in your papers... so you got 45/90 in bth of your papers and you got 20/40 in your IA and number of points you have is: 20+20+10=50% and then you find the final grade boundary for math and see where is 50% Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
