Popular Post flinquinnster Posted January 4, 2014 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 So, for all of us November 2013 candidates, results have been released to our IB co-ordinators in the last few hours, although we still can't log in ourselves. For those who have received results, congratulations! For those still awaiting results, best of luck! IB is now over for us. I am a bit hesitant to put my results up here, but I thought I would start everything off. I managed to get a 7 in every subject, and then an A in EE (English) and B in TOK, and CAS was all good and approved, thank goodness. So that's 42+3 = 45! So glad I managed to scrape a B in TOK - I'm very excited to never have to do that subject again, ever.IB Diploma: awarded and finished. What a sweet feeling! 28 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

khimberleigh Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Awesome results everyone!! Well done!Do you guys know when our marks for individual papers, IAs, EE etc come out? And do we get direct access to them or is it just though our coordinators? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And do we get direct access to them or is it just though our coordinators?Your IB coordinator will receive all the individual breakdowns in about a week or so. You don't get them, just the coordinator does, so if you'd like to see them you just have to ask them. They SHOULD tell you your grades, since they're rightfully yours, but my coordinator wouldn't tell me mine unless I was asking to get a remark. 2 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pieispi Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 I seem to get more and more depressed every time I see a person with +40 points. I really wish I will be one of the many people who can confidently put up their final grades. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the year I graduate university and haven't even began to think about that. Also, do Arabic ab initio, not French. 2 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, not really, unless you're applying for languages. Arabic is my degree and I much prefer it to French. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who is going to take the IB exams this semester, is there any advice that you can offer me? I take Spanish ab initio too and I am struggling in the subject; I really want the IB Diploma though, so could you please give me a few tips? Any useful websites or anything in particular that I should learn? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

iblife2013 Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 I was 1 off from a 7 in two of my subjects and 3 marks off from getting a 6 in chem. What are the chances of those grades going up if I got a remark done? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TykeDragon Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 @iblife well that depends hugely on WHAT they are! So if you could tell us that....for example, english or philosophy is more likely to go up than something absolute like maths in theory, as maths has a set markscheme - generally, these kind of subjects only go up in the rare scenario that the examiner miscounted or should have given a method mark and didn't for some reason.That said, this is theoretical - even subjects like philosophy tend to 'somehow' come back exactly the same, despite there being multiple essays with multiple criteria, in entirely subjective essays! Now if only I could somehow work out the link between that and the fact that examiners only have to return the remark money if the score changes, and they see the mark that it was initially given.... hmmm... still working on that one! 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
khimberleigh Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Are any of you going to the awards ceremony at Federation square in Melbourne on the 17th of Feb? It's for the Victorian and Tasmanian candidates that got 40+ Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
flinquinnster Posted February 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Are any of you going to the awards ceremony at Federation square in Melbourne on the 17th of Feb? It's for the Victorian and Tasmanian candidates that got 40+No, I'm heading to the NSW one this Friday. Is the Vic/Tas one only for IB 40+ kids? I think that the Sydney one gives prizes out for a 7 in anything, or an A in anything, and CAS awards! Perhaps NSW can afford to give more away because there are less diploma candidates. Maybe because it's rarer you get a special prize/remuneration. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
khimberleigh Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Really! That's awesome. The letter we received only mentioned awards for 40+, but my school gave out awards for people who got 7s. haha how would they decide CAS awards!? Let me know what it's like on Friday Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know what it's like on Friday Friday was nice, in that a lot of people from our school went and we got to catch up, and reminisce over the old IB days. The actual running of the ceremony itself was a bit interesting - the turnout was surprisingly large, so there were slight organisational issues! Nevertheless, as they didn't ponder too long in handing out certificates (even though there were a lot of people who had either 7s or As, or managed 40+), it didn't get to the point where the event was excruciating. And for CAS awards, I have absolutely no idea how they awarded it! I guess once you only consider those people who take it seriously, it helps create a (very) short list of potential awardees. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
