Faliing conditions for the IB:

At http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=323673 someone wrote:

III. Failing Conditions

The Diploma cannot be awarded, whatever the total score, to candidates who have:
• Received less than 24 points, including bonus points
• Received a grade of 1 in any subject
• Extended Essay was not submitted
• Theory of Knowledge was not submitted
• CAS requirements not completed
• An “elementary” grade is awarded for both Extended Essay and TOK work
• Candidate is guilty of malpractice
• There are four or more grades of 3 or below

So what now? Can we conclude that having a grade 1 at a standard level would be a failing condition?? Some of you argued that a 1 would be fine if not at HL... what now?

THANKSS

Well, if there is any confusion, be safe and achieve scores higher than 2 in each subject :wink:

Besides, it is not difficult to get at least a 3 in any subject if you bother to study at all.

really I think it's rather hard to get a 1 in anything, unless you go in and not write anything on the exam paper.

Well.. even if you would not write anything on the exam paper, having submitted the IA, wouldn't it be impossible to get a 1? :wink:

Actually, the lowest grade you can get on your exam is a 1. If you look at the grade boundaries for each subject each year, in order to get a one, you need a minimum of 0 marks - i.e. not writing anything down will give you a final grade of 1 on your external assessment. :biggrin:
