How are the final grades for each subject calculated?

[Dilusion]

For example, let's suppose that the grade boundaries (overall) for physics HL are as follows;

• 7: 71-100
• 6: 60-70
• 5: 50-59
• 4: 40-49
• 3: 29-39
• 2: 17-28
• 1: 0-16

Let's suppose that a student writes a high 6 on paper 1 (which is most likely around 75%, considering that the grade boundaries for pp1 are higher) and a 7 on paper 2 (72% for example). Does the student still receive a 7, as the average grade exceeds the 7 on the overall grade boundaries, or will he receive a 6 because he wrote a 6 on pp1?

tl;dr:

Is the average of all of the papers taken and compared to the overall grade boundaries or is the lowest grade of all the papers taken for the final grade?

It would make more sense for them to add everything up and to look at the overall grade boundaries that takes all three papers into account.
