\"\"<\/a>Are you wondering what you need to do to get a 7 in IB Psychology? Here’s a rough guide.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The following tables are what I used to convert my own students marks in IB Psychology. As our marks are recorded in letter grades I’m including this category, too.<\/p>\n

A note for teachers:<\/strong> Before using these for your own students, you might want to try giving a few test runs first. For example, add up what you think a 4 or a C should be worth using a Paper 1 essay rubric and see if it matches with my boundaries.<\/p>\n

You can download these boundaries here…<\/a><\/h3>\n

The Letter Grades are what I use for my internal school marks as we work on the letter system (not the IB’s 1-7 system).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Paper Three (HL Only)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While the above boundaries are using the old curriculum as a guide, I will point out that my Paper 3 boundaries are purely my own invention. This is because the nature of Paper 3 is now\u00a0very\u00a0<\/em>different to how it was in the old curriculum. As of now, this is what I’d expect from my students. You will see the boundaries appear harder, but this is because I think Paper 3 is a lot easier than other papers (especially Question 1a-c).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
