<p>Hah! I've proven that even if you procrastinate like crazy and study minimally, you can still receive the IB DIPLOMA. Anyways, out of the 34 IB seniors at our school, 19 received the Diploma. What sucks is that two of my friends were ONE POINT away from receiving it, god, how badly does that suck?? :(</p>
<p>So how did you do if you're a IB graduate now? How did the rest of your class do? I'm just curious, thanks! :)</p>
<p>Congratulations......I guess.</p>
<p>Thanks.....I guess</p>
<p>We had 13/13 receive their diplomas at our school. Congrats to all those that did make it!</p>
<p>Wow. I'll tell you in two more years.</p>
<p>What was your IB score? Well, I'm assuming you got a 24. What were your scores and stuff?</p>
<p>Embarassing as it is, you're right about the 24 points. In other words, I only just made it in with the minimal score requirement.<br>
English - 5
Biology - 4
History - 4
French - 4
Math - 4
Music - 3</p>
<p>how does IB work, exactly?</p>
<p>I got my diploma...highest score so far was a 39 in my class, I got a 35 :)</p>
<p>Congrats to all you IB'ers!</p>
<p>oh, this thread might help to explain IB: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com...ead.php?t=56374%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com...ead.php?t=56374</a></p>
<p>Eek. Well, if you passed with MINIMAL effort, I'm pretty sure I will. Hehe. If I get 30+ points, I'll enter college as a sophie.</p>
<p>Molly, hmm. IB works like this.
The Diploma program starts at 11th grade and goes to 12th grade.
You have to have 4 HL classes and 2 SL classes or 3 HL and 3 SL. HL = higher level (harder), SL = standard level (easier)</p>
<p>Oh, BTW, fhs, what Math did you do? I'm doing math studies hehehe.</p>
<p>You have to write a 4k word essay, take a philosophy course (Theory of Knowledge) and write essays for that, and do atleast 150 comm. service hours.</p>
<p>You have A lot of internal assessments to do. What these things are depends on the class. They're a real nip in the butt. And part of your exam grade.</p>
<p>Uhmmm what else? A lot of essay writing. Oh yeah, for science you have to do gay stupid Group 4. Where you do a science project that incorporates all the sciences or something.</p>
<p>Lab write ups... uh whatever. You gather all of these works you've done and your teacher takes the best kid, the worst kid and the middle kid's stuff to Europe or somewhere. Your Extended Essay (4k words) is sent to somewhere different everyyear. Last year I think it was Brazil and they were brutal.</p>
<p>Haha, I did Math Studies too. What else would you expect from a slacker? :)</p>
<p>Do we ever find out how we scored on those internal assessments? I'm soo curious!</p>
<p>The extended essays get sent all over the world depending on the the topic you chose (i.e. I did social anthropology and my paper was sent to Brazil whereas some of my other classmates [with dif. topics] had theirs sent to Qatar, Canada, Australia, Spain, and some others I forgot. And yes, they were brutal.</p>
<p>BTW, I found a pretty good description of the IB program on wikipedia.com: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Baccalaureate_Diploma_Programme%5B/url%5D">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Baccalaureate_Diploma_Programme</a></p>
<p>Well, I don't know yet... </p>
<p>What i do know is...
English HL-5
French SL-5
Psychology SL -5
The rest of my grades are pending</p>
<p>Oh and I got one extra point for TOK/EE</p>
<p>I wonder when I'll know?
Anyone else in similar situation??</p>
<p>I never understood how you get extra points. I know there is a rubric somewhere but uh... post?</p>
<p>lol I can't believe wikipedia put this: "Many students and teachers have jokingly termed TOK to really stand for "Ton of Krap," due to the nature of the course."</p>
<p>anyways you get extra points depending on your grade in ToK and on the EE. Here ya go:</p>
<p>AA: 3
AB: 3
AC: 2
AD: 2
AE: 1
BB: 2
BC: 1
BD: 1
BE: 0
CC: 1
CD: 0
CE: 0
DD: 0
DE: 0
DE: 0</p>
<p>I have the joy of writing my math and physics exams for IB next year. I just worried about the math everything else I can handle just math... it will be the end of me... I'm not really sure how many students are actually in the full program at my school (we are the first batch of IB students.) A lot of kids that I think may have done better then me in grade 10, because they actually handed in a lot of their stuff are doing partial or quitting all together. Anyways sorry about that just haven't been on here in while... I tend to babble, my apologies. </p>
<p>Congratulations of passing! It gives hope to a procrastinator such as myself... And it really does suck for your friends.</p>
<p>My school does the IB program. I am pretty sure that all of the people in the full diploma program attain the diploma level because all the others have dropped out by then (into partial "certificate" IB). In my year there are only 8 full french immersion diploma students left, myself included (at the start of pre-ib in grade 10 there were probably around 50 of us). </p>
<p>Anyways, I wrote two of my SL exams this year (junior year - IB1).
I got a 7 in Math Methods French and a 6 in Biology.
I'm happy with both. I know I could have done better in Bio but my class mark (the one I send to unis) more than makes up for it. </p>
<p>Next year I'm writing French A2 SL, English A1 HL, European History in French HL, and Chem HL. </p>
<p>Good luck to everyone doing IB and congrats to everyone who got their diplomas!</p>
