gohgy Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Hi, I was just wondering, will I still get my diploma even if I fail my Chem IA? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IB`NOT`ez Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 I'm going to assume by failing it, you mean getting less than a 3/7 for your Chemistry IA. If that's the case, then it still should be fine provided your exams aren't at the same level as your IA only counts towards 20% of your final grade. If say you got a 4 for your exams but a 1 or 2 in your IA, you'll only go down to a 3 at most, which is still a pass. If you mean failing it as your IA getting rejected due to suspicion of plagiarism/academic dishonesty etc., then you'll fail the entire subject (I think) and you won't be able to receive the diploma as well. Seeing as your exams are in Nov 2016, I'm pretty sure the final IA deadline is like September or October? Which means you still have time.

Oscarthecat3 Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Hey there, Yes you will; IA's especially in sciences only count around 20%, so as long as you did ok in your Chemistry exams you should get the IB DP. Hope this gives you some reassurance Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw0573 Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 There is no distinctions between pass and fail for IAs. In order for Diplomma to be awarded, one must submit all IAs, papers, and externally moderated works. As long as you have all the necessary sections in an IA, it will be considered to be submitted. As long as you meet/exceed the passing conditions, which exist for overall DP rather than individual courses, you can get the Diploma! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gohgy Posted June 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Thank you. Because my Chem IA is a lost cause so maybe banking on my exams would be great. Thank you!!!! (^-^)/ Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
