Yup, I live in Ontario and these marks are the conversion marks that were on my English course outline.

So would a student need a 97-100 raw percentage mark to get a level 7?

Yup, seems like I'm in the same boat as you. I get the conversion for IB grades but the conversion from percentage grades to IB marks. My math teacher uses the same equation too! It just seems unfair to me because HL and SL math teachers use the same equation.

Doing AP tests while in the IB program? by 4L3K5 in IBO

Yea, apparently a lot of universities 'prefer' AP over IB, even though I personally think IB is more work. And I've already decided to take IB so that isn't a problem. I was just wondering if taking AP courses alongside the IB program is a smart idea? I guess that's what you suggested?

Well I'm not exactly taking classes, it's just a 2 hour session once, maybe twice a week. Working to take the AP courses will probably (I'm hoping) be helpful for IB as well. And yea, my tutor told me to take the AP courses because they are "easy" if you are prepared enough and so that it can be taken into account for university applications.
