<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>Just wondering about those other IB Diploma students that are accepted. What was your predicted out of 42?</p>
<p>Out of 45 i was predicted 39</p>
<p>Honestly, I’m at 25 or 26. Our school doesn’t have the strongest IB programme but it does the trick I guess.</p>
<p>I’m a current freshman. I don’t know what my predicted was, but I know I ended up getting a 31. (1 from EE/TOK, so 30 from the exams)</p>
<p>I was predicted 38-39/42.</p>
<p>Im predicted 34-35 (depending on my tok/ee grade)</p>
<p>@mc90604 did u get accepted?</p>
<p>We don’t get to know our predicted but I’m pretty sure mine is around 38 (without bonus ToK/EE). Accepted to Annenberg, by the way.</p>
<p>Oh ok. I was also predicted 38/42 and I’m waiting to hear back (domestic applicant living abroad so my mail will take forever lol.) Just worried my SAT will screw me :P</p>
<p>Don’t worry about it! What was your SAT? Mine was 2050, not great to be honest but it somehow worked! Which school are you applying to and for what major?</p>
<p>Applied for Economics at CLAS.</p>
<p>My SAT was 1800 e 
Hope the fact that I never have studied in an American system works for me lol. I have some good EC’s though: UAE U18 national team basketball player, internships, part time job as an accountant, community service, business/economics tutoring etc. </p>
<p>Hopefully my IB grades and Ec’s overcome my SAT :P</p>
<p>this is a question as a recipient of an IB diploma a few years ago.</p>
<p>did the grading scale get easier on the IB exams? during my time in high school, it was considered EXTREMELY rare to get a score of 38 or above. students that scored around 38 ended up at upenn-wharton, yale, williams, pomona, haverford, stanford, mit, etc. two years after i graduated in 2006, the seniors of the IB class of 2008 at my same high school were basically comparing the number of 7s they got on each subject… which would have been a ridiculous thing to do in my time. </p>
<p>did the scale get easier? did they increase the number of 6s and 7s they give out or something?</p>
<p>Was your HS curriculum completely IB? In most IB schools, 5-10% score 40/45 or above</p>
<p>Depends on the school really, my school the average is 42 (and has been for the past 7 years) sooo</p>
<p>I don’t think so… I went 4-5-6 on each of my HLs and SLs. I got a 7 on SL french, but I took it HL (and got a 6), so that didn’t end up counting in the end. I think it also depends on the exams you take–I just barely eked out a 4 in SL and HL computer science. The fact that Richard Jones, who designed the course, was my grader for the dossier junior year probably didn’t help…</p>
<p>I thought I did pretty well with a 31! I guess not. huh. Ah well, doesn’t really matter now. :)</p>
<p>they have said at HK info night the average IB is 35.
i was predicted 39.</p>
<p>i think IB scores definitely vary a lot depending on which subjects you take… if you’re taking something like HL maths, a 5 in that is definitely harder to achieve than a 5 in, say, HL biology because HL maths is known to be a more difficult course</p>
<p>If you scroll down to page 28 or so, you can see where people scored last year on each exam.

<p>so with a score of 31, I still did better than over half of people pursuing the IB diploma last year.</p>
<p>@ank123 yeah, I was accepted. Almost no one passes Math HL, English HL or most actually. A 28 is pretty high for our school lol. Our school is really green in IB still, most faculty who teach it don’t even understand the program.
No one has gotten a 6 or higher in any class except Spanish.
I got a 5 in IB Chem SL last year and was the only one to pass…</p>
<p>Ahhh IB! It was such a long time ago since I took it! (not really…just seems like it…) Good luck to everyone on your IB exams in May :)</p>
