IB EE/TOK grading matrix

<p>I need some confirmation. I know if you fail (recieve an E) on both TOK and the extended essay you don't get a diploma, regardless of your score on exams. But if you fail one of the two, can you still get a diploma?</p>

<p>I know there's been rumors of changing it so if a student fails either of the two, a student cannot recieve a diploma. But I'm not exactly sure if that has changed for ib seniors this year.</p>

<p>Someone please let me know!!!</p>

<p>Buuuuuuuuump</p>

<p>the rumors are true. if you fail either ee or tok you do not get your diploma, starting with the class of 2009 (this year).</p>

<p>Are you absolutely positive?</p>

<p>could you maybe verify with a link? because I've searched google for a legit source that backs up that claim, and everything i've read said that's just a rumor. and I have difficulty believing even the all-knowingib can make curriculum changes like that in the middle of a 2 year program. I'd understand if that rule applied to incoming ib juniors, but graduating ib seniors... I dont believe.</p>

<p>sorry, if it sounds like i'm being difficult. I just want concrete proof.</p>

<p>I would like some proof as well.</p>

<p>My teachers have said that the class of 2011 is going to be the first who actually have to pass both.</p>

<p>according to wikipedia, after 2009 ib students are required to pass both TOK and the EE in order to recieve an ib diploma. </p>

<p>not sure how much weight you put in wikipedia, but that's the only place where I found the issue directly addressed</p>

<p>Our TOK teacher/IB coordinator told us we would have to pass both, and that we are the first class to which this applies.</p>

<p>It's not that hard, though. I mean, unless you throw both together at the last minute (and this can ever work for TOK) you should be able to pass.</p>

<p>are you a graduating ib senior?</p>

<p>you have to pass both.</p>

<p>which kinda sux. my gf is doing math for her ee, and every single person who did a math paper last year got a 0. and it's not like they were stupid people, either.</p>

<p>um well my ib advisor says otherwise, so I'm gonna go with that...
I know if you're currently in your first year of IB you have to pass both
but those in their final year only have to pass one.</p>

<p>thats what I'm told and that's what I'm sticking with :)</p>
