QOTD...
What's the lowest grade you've ever gotten?

[clairemcorlett]

IB STUDENTS …. What’s UP!!! For you guys… who comprehend why our grades are out of 7… the video starts at 2:05

[sanakhtthefatetwister]

Before starting IB: okay I want to get a 45
Week 1: okay that’s cool I can still get 40
End of the first semester: I can get like, 30 right?
Before exams: I just wanna pass, okay?
Before results: I mean, I lived, right?

I did IB as well and its freaking hard. Good luck to anyone who's doing IB.

[reecemarchand]

I wouldn't be sad over having such a "real video". I appreciate someone actually doing that. Everyone else who makes these videos are all top of their class or something and are looking at IV league schools. This video was more down to earth. Thank you!

finishing the ib isn't that great... lowkey still traumatized from chemistry

[sonyablade]

Ok so I just want to share this and possibly help someone. I also did ib, the full diploma. It was pretty hard, mostly the pressure and long school hours, and of course let’s not forget about useless ia’s. But I worked as much as I could, my mom seeing me going to sleep at 3 am nearly every night. I’ve attended a British school in Europe, not gonna say which country, it doesn’t matter. But I’m gonna say that they’ve considered their school being the best out of all British schools in the whole Europe with a brilliant rep (yeah no, my ass).
I took 2 languages at a higher lvl so I’d get a bilingual diploma (engl and russ). Mind u, Russian is my mother language. Ib gave me for both engl and Russian a 5. So in theory it’s funny how that means that I know my mother tongue at the same level as English ( which I know very well but certainly not at the same level as my mother tongue) I took Comp science which I enjoy very much, but that year our school had a new teacher for the comp science class. Our lessons consisted of him reading off the ppt press for the first 15 min of the class and the rest of it blasting country music which didn’t help understanding anything about code. No worries I thought and got a tutor. Despite that my class was trying our best and were getting decent grades like 5 and 6. ( oh we were so wrong about that) My predicted was a 6, but what I got was a 3. One of my classmates was brilliant at cs and would always get 6, 7 and he got a 3 too. We all thought we were doing so well judging by the fact that the teacher was giving us good marks. (Btw he left right when we finished ib) My chosen subj for EE was psych and it was moderated by my psych teacher that was very hard working and educated. My predicted was an A and I got a C.
I spent 2 years of ib working my ass off, my health strongly diminished, developing breathing problems that acted as panic attacks.
I don’t think I have to tell u how long I spent preparing for my final exams.
Now picture me seeing some of these marks that I’ve mentioned. I was in my room staring at the computer screen. Seeing all my hard work and dedication turn into nothing. For the first time in my life in that very moment I wanted to jump out of my window. You might think I’m exaggerating and I agree with you now, but at that time it was very important for me. If my mother wasn’t with me at that time I would have probably done it. I was so broken because I realized that I had less points that I needed to get into the uni that I absolutely dreamt about which required 32 ( which isn’t that a lot)
All that time in school I was always told that no one would even review my application if I didn’t have the exact needed points. This was burned into my mind and for me my future was shattered because I’ve received 28 points, it’s pretty low.
Why I’m telling this is because now I’m studying at RMIT uni which is the uni I wanted to get into. Even though I studied one year abroad to build my portfolio, it doesn’t change the fact that I got in.
It may sound that I’m being overly dramatic. But if u studied in ib, and I mean studied as in worked hard for ur grades, you will understand.
I want to say is that u should never put school first over your health, worrying if your creative essay has enough stylistic devices in it. It doesn’t matter.
What matters is that you dedicate a bit more time for your loved ones and spend more time outside then locked up in a room with nails dug into your skin.

CLAIRE!!
you almost made me cry, and I totally understand you! but please don't cry, you are already a very talented girl! i love you so much <3

[Necrovoker]

Claire, please don't cry. Grades aren't everything. Hell, they barely matter in the long run. In high school I barely passed Math, Physics, and I actually failed Chemistry. And now, I just finished a master degree in History. A teacher once told me: nobody cares about your grades. As long as you have that diploma on your wall, that's what matters. Be proud of what you accomplished! You finished High School while being a very active actor. That takes a lot of effort and willpower.

[engels_diary]

math is hard, even though it's studies. Here I am in Mth HL and only 15 years old. Yep, I have no childhood.

[AB-enpl]

I got shanked big time for my exam results for IB. I got 28/45. Many of my teachers told me before my finals that maybe I should just quit school and wrap myself in a noose. One of my teachers even screamed at me everyday, sometimes for minor things, like a bad hair cut or appearing tired.

[melissaramirez]

Currently I’m a senior in the IB. It is hell, but what you learn is what is the important part, not the grades.

[icebeer]

Claire, grades HELP you to open certain doors in life. No more and no less than that.

I work at a large international corporation and when we hire young people it is just one of many aspects we look at. If you have excellent grades in school and/or university, you have a better chance of being invited, but it is by far not the only criteria. Social engagement, international experience and outstanding/unusual hobbies (it shows that you are bold and/or have a passion!) are at least equally important.

As soon as the candidates are here for their interview / workshop, they are all the same and start at zero. They have to prove that they are motivated, good in a team, creative and able to express themselves. In short: "soft skills" count. We can teach you whatever you need to know and if you know more already that’s certainly good, but we can't change your character. It's the most imporant part about you.

So, get yourself up and look forward. You are a stunning individual and don't let yourself get down by some grades. I know that it's not a nice feeling right now, but it just means that you need to push some doors at bit harder to get through. When you are passionate about something, I'm sure you will make it happen no matter what.

[aaminarafique]

Hey I just want you to know that doing IB is extremely difficult and you did it. You might not have gotten what you have expected but at least you attempted something so extraordinary and did it with passion and hard work.
At the end of the day, grades are numbers that does matter however your passion and ambition matter more than your grades.
Good luck from an IB Student.

[elpaelsa]

After I saw this I strongly feel like I won’t pass my IB 😂😂😂

[emilybenitez]

was she actually going to cry . I feel so bad for her!😢

[apoorvagoel]

I had a same reaction when I saw my IB results. I got similar grades. What really made me sad was that I knew I didn't work hard enough to get better grades and I knew that those were the grades I would get but just totalling them up to get such a low grade made me sad. But I made it to the uni I wanted to attend, I hope you did too. It's just a phase and it's over for now, just focus on what's to come and work harder in college is all I can say. :)) Good luck

[camilagazaniga]

I probably will cry after seeing my Math HL results next year. So, good luck to everyone doing IB because it is freaking hard.

[sonamyangzom]

Watching your video while I have my eng paper 2 tom. Tommorows gonna be the death of me. Please pray for me

[frankief.]

I’m taking my exams right now, and I’m also at a really low point. I’m not sure how to cope with all the stress and sadness in the best way, but I know that we’re worth so much more than what our grades tell us, even when it’s really hard to understand. Maybe one day we’ll figure it out. ❤️

[thatoneepicenealex]

those grades aren't bad!! i am an IB student and if i had those grades i'd be proud of myself! im proud of you! you could've dropped out the first year like many people i know, but you stuck with it. i'm proud
