<p>What difference would IB scores make if they are already in the high range? For example, what sort of difference would a 45/45 make as opposed to a 41/45 (assuming all other parts of the application are slightly above average) - point of note, a 38/45 is a 4.0UW.</p>

<p>I was predicted a 44 or a 45 out of 45 up until this point but I took my year end exams which play a major factor in determining my predicted grades (which get sent to unis) and I have a paranoid that I may have gotten a 6 on some of the exams (which are shown above) so I wondering how much of a detrimental effect it may have?</p>
<p>BUMP! Simply: my predicted grade for IB may drop from 44 to 40/41 - what effect will this have?</p>
<p>hey im sure this doesnt have a massive effect, just as long as it meets your intended university’s standard above a certain level (as said by my cousin who is a sophomore at college and who also did the IB). Are you sure about the GPA thing though, 38 +4.0UW??</p>
<p>where did you get that information from?? and (sorry for my ignorance) but what is that 4.0 out of?)</p>
<p>I don’t think predicted scores mean a whole lot to colleges. I didn’t even report them on my app…in fact, I don’t even know what my predicted scores are. lol Anyways, I’m pretty sure almost all of the my teachers probably predicted higher than I am going to get. GPA/SAT is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more important than your IB predicted scores. In the US anyways. (Not sure if you’re international or not, though.)</p>
<p>But then I go to an international school so there is no GPA. Our school doesn’t report GPA or rank, thus we only report predicted scores for IB. And I read somewhere that a 6 in IB is equal to an A so if I get at least all 6s, I get a 4.0 UW yeh?</p>
<p>Depends on school but I thought a 5 was still 4.0 since weighted GPA goes up to 5.0?</p>
<p>As for admissions wise, it doesn’t matter much. The rigor of IB programs vary greatly from school to school so as long as you’re in the top range, most schools won’t care.</p>
