unbearable Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Hey guys, I have got 6 out of 24 from my chemistry internal assessment. I am not surprised, because it was soooo weak. I wonder what percentage of the points are taken for the final grade. Is there any one who can answer my question? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IB`NOT`ez Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 The IA in Chemistry is worth 20% of your overall grade. That means your IA, which is a 6/24, will contribute (6/24) x 20% = 5% to your overall grade, out of 100%. The other 80% of your overall grade comes from your external exams (20% Paper 1, 40% Paper 2, and 20% Paper 3 for SL; 20% Paper 1, 36% Paper 2, and 24% Paper 3 for HL). If you're aiming for a 7, it is still possible with only a 6/24 in your IA, but that means you're going to need to attain about 92% on your final exams, bringing up your overall score to about 78%. (Calculation: 92% x 80% = 0.73 = 73%. 73% + 5% = 78%) And the same goes on to attain grades of 4, 5, or 6 – essentially you're going to need to perform much much better on your exams to make up for your IA. 2 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
