Thanks everyone for the information and your dialogue - interesting and helpful. The section is self-reporting (“would you like go report…”), so It seems like just leaving it empty makes the most sense. If her HS does or is required to predict exam scores, it seems like colleges and students (and the predicted score process) might be better served by direct reporting by schools to colleges if they view it as relevant to admissions, rather than students seeking access to that info from the school/teachers. I’m not sure most students or classroom communities benefit from students knowing what teachers are predicting they will do on the tests. Maybe overseas that info is regularly reported to students with full transparency like grades are in the US, but given it is not the practice at my D’s high school to give them out if they are done at all (and it sounds like from some of the comments that maybe IB actually requires schools to do it), I think it not worth pursuing. Plenty of other things for her to spend her time and energy on, and she has grades, an IB exam score from last spring, AP scores, and the ACT - enough!!!

Thanks so much everyone.
