It’s examination time!!!
IB exams will be held over the next three weeks; time to cash in all your efforts for some college credit!.
Pay attention to the schedule (should be in a lot of places: here, IB display case across from rm 131; my classroom, other classes, most of you also got it by email. BE ON TIME!!!
Take a look at the subject guides (under the general information tab) and subject reports (under the IB Assessment tab). These provide a lot of information: how you’re graded, what everything is worth, what the format is, what was done well and not done well the previous year (in the subject report), how to get the score you want (also in subject report).
Good luck; let’s rock this!
