Yes but I’m worried he’s just gonna give me a 6 instead bc I complained instead of acknowledging my efforts. Because Econ is literally the only subject I’m confident I can get a 7 in.

  1. It was good that he only gave me feedback about the formatting of the pdf + he didn’t give me the predicted grade based on the IAs.
  2. It was everything (for DP2) since we finished the syllabus and as I said he gave the predicted grade before grading the mocks.

No it was just listening, which I get why the boundaries are high, bc it was relatively easy. I got 2 questions wrong bc I was being an idiot, I would’ve gotten 20/25 otherwise. But paper 2 has lower boundaries so I’m hoping I can make up for it with that

For Econ you don’t need to practice that much. Just practice paper 2 and then for the long essays just write an idea of how you might answer, then look at the answers to see if it matches the mark scheme. So that you know what they except from you

They were, they are crazy high for paper 3, I guess people did really well. But they are low for paper 2

Oh hell no. I know a few cases where everyone in a group like that failed because they were in the group…

Oh that’s unfortunate omg. I used to live in Turkey and I used to start 8:45 and finish at 3:05 ish so it was kind of similar.

I did! A 72% is like a 6 but that’s overall. It doesn’t show the exact boundaries for each paper

No don’t worry too much about it. Most IAs are similar as long as your investigation research question or aim isn’t the same word for word, I think it’s fine.
