AwMan Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 I did not get my IB Diploma as I got a 3 in physics but a 4 in my two other HLs. I missed a 4 in physics by 1 mark/percent. I am on the grade boundary. The upper boundary is a 36, I got 36. What is the chance and probability that my grade will increase? 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IB`NOT`ez Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Probably about a 30-40% your grade will crease given that it's only 1 point away from the upper boundary. That said, it's about a 1% for your overall grade to drop, once again given that you're so close to the upper boundary. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I didn't get what you meant by "it's about 1% for your overall grade to drop......" Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're all probabilities: 30-40/100 chance for your grade to go up, and approximately 1/100 chance for your grade to go down. Because it is possible, however extremely unlikely and I've never heard of a case like that especially in HL Physics. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I apologize for the ambiguity: I don't mean to discourage you from remarking, but in the overall sample set three events can happen after a remark: Your grade out of a 100 goes up: (30-40%) = will increase your grade out of a 7 Your grade out of a 100 stays the same: (50~%) = no change in grade out of a 7 Your grade out of a 100 does down: (1~%) = likely no change in grade out of a 7 depending on how much the drop is Basically, you'd probably need your grade out of a 100 to go down by 13 points to drop from a 3 to a 2, which is EXTREMELY unlikely.

In which case imo you should go for it. You have nothing to lose besides money. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's not discouraging at all. Informative actually. Thank you so much Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I did send it yesterday but I was just wondering what my chances are because even if my current university rescinds their offer, you need a diploma to get into any university Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, about a one in three chance that your grade can go up. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
