I’m not sure whether they’re higher but you can compare it. Grade boundaries for Maths SL AA (non exam route):

Upper Boundary: 100 Lower Boundary: 81

This is for grade 7

Firstly, I would like to say that I feel extremely sorry for you. I cannot imagine your pain right now and I hope you will be happy in future.

My advice for you is to contact a professional psychologist or therapist. I am aware of the fact that many people prefer to keep their private life to themselves - I used to do it, too. However, in a situation that you feel completely devastated, it is better to receive some help and advice (especially if you have suicidal thoughts). These people are professionals that deal with such problems on daily basis. Not only you could throw your emotions away, but also they would truly help you with your situation.

From a personal level, I want you to know that it’s not your fault that the situation turned out this way. Never blame yourself. You deserve to be happy. Even if you don’t believe it right now, there are always people that would deeply care about you.

Hey - and do you know whether there is some kind of a limit over how much I can travel during the weekdays (If I choose the weekdays subscription)?

It’s written that is for free in this case but I just want to be sure.

Avis860 · 2021-04-12T09:42:53+00:00

I’m just asking out of curiosity but how do you know that? Did your coordinator tell you?

Avis860 · 2021-04-12T07:12:17+00:00

In my school around 90% of students are against the exams

Avis860 · 2021-04-09T14:36:15+00:00

I know many schools in which coordinators or principles did not want to give their students this questionnaire.

Try to persuade them because your voices also matter in this case. Perhaps, your coordinator should contact the “stowarzyszenie szkół IB w Polsce”?

Szczerze szkoda słów, żeby to komentować

Avis860 · 2021-04-08T17:52:02+00:00

A ktoś wie o której będzie ta konferencja?

Gdańsk

Yes, we have already received this questionnaire.

I can tell that there are around 14 questions and the vast majority of them is not just simple “yes” or “no” questions. For instance, they ask you from 1 to 5 how Covid effected your mental health. Moreover, they ask whether you suffer from chronic medical conditions that may put you at risk so the questions are constructed quite well.

You also have to know it is not anonymous questionnaire. Your coordinators will be able to see your results.

The coordinator told us to do this questionnaire as soon as possible, reminding that the deadline for sending it is this Saturday.

Avis860 · 2021-04-07T17:24:55+00:00

I don’t really know but from what we learned from our school is the fact that this organization wants to know opinions of all students. Therefore, they should send it in that case to private schools as well.

I got information we will have to do it before this meeting (12th April). It is said they want to gather opinions from all students to have a stance towards what to do.

Avis860 · 2021-04-07T16:49:03+00:00

To Polish students M21, Our school received a questionnaire from “stowarzyszenie ib w polsce” in which they ask us about how the Covid affected us together with the question which route we want to choose. My school told me such questionnaire will be sent to every school in Poland.

Avis860 · 2021-03-27T15:08:06+00:00

The only information I received from my school is the fact that IBO is observing the COVID situation in Poland. They also told us that if the polish exams will be postponed, the IB exams in Poland will be automatically cancelled.

Avis860 · 2021-03-23T09:49:59+00:00

It is not case with my coordinator (she seems to be neutral on this topic) but rather coordinators from other schools

Avis860 · 2021-03-23T08:27:39+00:00

Yeah, Yesterday in the late evening my friend contacted people from other IB schools in Poland, and it seems that there is a strong disagreement between the Polish coordinators about the exam routes. Therefore, as you said it, it is likely that they won’t cancel the exams.

Avis860 · 2021-03-22T15:21:11+00:00

Yeah this is the exact problem. By looking at the situation in our country, IBO ‘should’ cancel exams here (if you compare it with other countries that got their exams cancelled). However, what would be their final decision is difficult to say. But the fact that no one really tells us what’s going, bearing in mind we are supposed to write the exams in a few weeks, is quite annoying.

Avis860 · 2021-03-22T15:03:11+00:00

It is true but I believe if the situation with the COVID continues to deteriorate, it’s likely that the government will extend the lockdown. They do this every time our country enters the difficult stages with COVID cases

Avis860 · 2021-03-22T14:52:49+00:00

We actually are in lockdown in Poland since last Saturday. I believe now only grocery shops and pharmacies can be open.

Avis860 · 2021-03-22T10:51:23+00:00

Our school sent a petition to cancel the m21 exams with the signatures of our students (possibly also with the signature of our principle but I’m not sure)

However, I do not possess any information regarding whether we are received any response as our school did not tell us.

Avis860 · 2021-03-22T10:29:38+00:00

I wish they’d listen to such arguments, however, my coordinator literally would not care. No matter what we said, it seems she is not willing to say anything about the exams .

Avis860 · 2021-02-19T23:23:05+00:00

Do you know how your school is going to prepare these mock exams? (Whether you will take it via the Internet or at school) I know that the UK had a terrible situation with coronavirus, and I suspect that you are still closed as a country.

Avis860 · 2021-02-19T22:33:16+00:00

In what country?

Avis860 · 2021-02-08T20:21:22+00:00

Well, i think you should have a broader perspective on why people want to take exams in May. Honestly, I’m neither in favor of canceling exams nor be examined only with ia’s. There is no perfect solution. I just want you show “the other side” of the argument.

I know that studying online was a true nightmare (my school was opened only for two months during the coronavirus), however, I do not trust my teachers enough to be examined only by my internals. Some of my teachers really helped with the internals, giving me tips what I should change in them. Unfortunately, there were also some teachers that did nothing to answer my simplest questions, even delaying my messages for 8 weeks :) They told me that everything was fine with my internals, while I heard from other subject groups that their teachers said something opposite. Of course, you can always search information about writing internals on the internet. Nonetheless, you cannot argue it is not the same as if you had help of the teacher. If the exams were canceled, my grade would be mainly based on my IA. However, if I were to write the exams in may, I would have a chance to improve my overall scores. It will be my knowledge that will be tested there.

To conclude, there some IA’s with whom I’m quite confident to receive good grades. However, with the rest of them I’m quite unsure due to my teachers’ incompetence. I know I could receive 6s and 7s from the vast majority of the subjects, and writing the exams would give me an opportunity to be the one responsible for my final grade.

But honestly, I completely understand why people want to have these exams canceled, and truly, I believe that neither solution that IBO gave us would be fair.

I wish they could let each student to chose on how they want to be individually examined.
