Kevin1031 Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 I am a junior (rising senior) and my grades are: Semester 1 Physics HL - 6 Economics HL - 6 Art HL - 6 English LangLit SL - 6 Korean LangLit SL - 6 Math SL - 7 TOK - A (7) Semester 2 Physics HL - 6 Economics HL - NOT FINALIZED (will be 6 or 7) Art HL - 7 English LangLit SL - 6 Korean LangLit SL - 6 Math SL - NOT FINALIZED (probably 7) TOK - A (7) The thing is, my grades showed a consistent increase from year 9, and I don't want to end up with a plateau or downfall at the end. (thought it would look bad for universities) I have econ finals coming up very soon and if I get a 6 or 7, my S2 econ grade will be 7. I am very confident that I can do this. However, the problem is that if I get three 7's and three 6's this semester, it will be far too difficult to show improvement next semester. Even if I intentionally get a 6 in S2 econ, I can still show improvement from S1 to S2 (my art went from 6 to 7). What should I do? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
King112 Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Hey. So if you "plateau" so to say with getting a 7 overall in HL, so one will complain. If you maintain your present grade levels, you'll be in good shape. If you're talking from a uni standpoint, I don't see any real benefit in tanking and getting a 6 now just to push it up next sem. Rather, maintain a 7 throughout. Just my two cents. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lixter Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Personally, there is no need to lower your score so that you can improve afterwards. Rather, you should do yourself a favour and keep trying to aim for 7s in your weaker subject while maintaining your grades for other subjects.
