katflynn18 Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 I took my Paper 2 for History today and I messed up because I picked two questions from the same topic when the instructions say to pick them from different topics. ARE MY CHANCES For THE DIPLOMA GONE. I KNOW I AM BEING DRAMATIC BUT I ALMOST STARTED CRYING, BECAUSE LIKE TWO YEARS DOWN THE DRAIN ALL BECAUSE I FAILED TO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE GIVE ME HOPE!!!!!! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
saywhatonemoretimeidareyou Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 It will not affect your chances of getting the Diploma if you do well on other subjects. If it makes you feel better, I too ****ed up in the Exam :( 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kw0573 Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 They will grade the better of the two responses and not award marks for the second question. If you have more IB exams, you should make sure to do at least one past or specimen paper in each subject in test conditions to know the format and instructions for each exam. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LogicalDovetailing Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 You will be fine as long as you did ok on one of the essays. Let's say you got a 10 or 11 out of 15 - that is still a high 3/low 4, according to grade boundaries. If you did well on your Paper 1, IA, and paper 3, you'll be ok.
