So I’ve only ever taken IB classes, and my school doesn’t have a strong IB program so our scores are going to be very low. Even though I’m at the top, I’ll have like a score around 28-34 (I don’t know my predicted grades, but that’s what I think based on how I’ve done on the exams so far!)
I’m a straight A student, and I had a 35 ACT, so I got into a really good college. Now my teachers are going to send my IB scores to my colleges right away when they come out (in July)
Should I let my teachers send them? I don’t think I will be getting a 6 or 7 in my HLs to place out of a class/get college credit, and I honestly don’t want to. I want to take all the intro classes at my college (I’m going to a LAC so they’ll be smaller than like 100 people anyways)
My question is… does it matter if bad IB scores go to your college? Like will it hurt me if they send a 3 for Spanish, etc!
If you guys don’t know IB, just compare it to AP. Like if you send a bad AP score to the college you’re going to after you’ve gotten admitted, like a 2 or maybe even a 3, does it hurt you? does it matter at all? Do they make u take placement tests, etc?
Thank you… I didn’t know where to post this, but I appreciate any responses!
No. You’ve been accepted. You will not be rescinded based on your IB results.
Same answer
Depends upon the college. Some require all students to take placement exams regardless of your AP/IB results. But your new student packet should have all that info.
