| Wow, I never knew this. My school does probably the opposite. Everyone is given a predicted IB grade 1 number lower (i.e., a student deserving of a 7 gets a 6) so as to 'keep the students motivated to do better'. However, owing to the lack of candidates going abroad to the U.S. or UK, my school didn't understand the importance of IB predicted grades in college admissions! Big fight over this one! Ugh. I think its my school that ruined my chances at Penn. :/ sorry...just...depressed =*( |
