The International Schools Review Forum

How are your school IB results based on the new model? Most of our scores are closer to predictions. However, there are some raging debates on the fairness of IB's methods. What do y'all think?

Ours were fine but have heard horror stories from other places.

Good to know, thank you. Somebody is asking questions, though.

At our school there were horrible. It seems like it penalized the high level students, but the lower scores held more steady. My daughter had 2 HL classes in which every IB mark was a 6 or 7 and her grade was a 5. One of her friends had the same scores for 1 of the classes and got a 4. She has 2 friends who didn't score high enough to get into their chosen schools in the UK because the score dropped so dramatically. We are in South America and the idea that student scores were given based on historical scores is unfair, particularly for those students who score above that "average" historical band.

The IBO has shown its true colors and having a senior this year really highlighted their lack of transparency and communication and care. I would love to see schools say "no thanks" to the IB as a result!

We were close across the board, but had significant variation in two subjects which we are questioning as it just seems a bit too out there.

Nothing noteworthy came back. Will look on Monday (maybe).
