Shenil Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Hi, I have a few questions regarding applying to Pre-IB at Parkdale Collegiate Institute. (The entrance exam is on January 10th, 2019) My average for my final grade 7 report card is 82%, and for my grade 8 report card I got 2 Es and 4 Gs as well as 5 progressing very wells and 5 progressing wells. What would be the chances I'd get accepted? I aim to do well on the entrance exam, and based on my marks above, if i achieve a 85% or above on the math assessment and write a good essay, would I be able to get in? How many students apply to Parkdale CI for IB each year, and what are the chances of being accepted depending on your marks? Would studying all the grade 8 math streams they posted on the Parkdale IB website effectively, help me to achieve a 90% or above on the entrance exam? (This is what I am currently doing to practice for the exam along with other materials) Is the math assessment as easy as the 2017 sample they posted on the website? One last question, will the essay topic be based on either the IB learner profile, or your future career path? Should I personally be stressing over the exam? Please help me so I can have an idea of what to expect. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kw0573 Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 Schools really care about your math, English, French, and science grades. It would be nice if those avg above 80. For 2017 sample I got 1E 2C 3B 4A 5B(but a somewhat ambiguous question) 6B 7D 8C 9D 10E 11A Long a) 84 b) 113 c) 596 Bonus c. If with unlimited time you can get all these right you should be mostly set. Since they provided you a list of math topics, you should go through the list and practice questions for those you are unfamiliar with. If write a good essay (good flow, well organized) and score 90% on the math assessment, I put your chances of getting in at 75%. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
