<p>Fellow IBers...question...do you know if we have to get the diploma in order to get the credit for a 5,6 or 7 on the HL exams? I don't think that I'll have any problem getting 5's and 6's on the HL's but my SL's are freaking me out right now considering we take the exams in a little over 2 months and I still have a lot to learn. So theoretically, if we didn't get the diploma cause we were off by a couple points but we got the scores on our HL exams, would they still award us credit? On the NYU website they just say that the award credit for a 5,6 or 7 on a HL exam, making no reference to the IB diploma itself.</p>
<p>Yes, they would still give you credit for the HL exams. Whether or not you get the diploma carriers very little relevance and most U.S. colleges: if you want credit, it's your HL exams that matter.</p>
