i did an exam on chemical signaling and neural signaling
i got 26/45 (shit grade)
but its weighted to an A cus the class avg was a 9.7
0
how am i supposed to feel

Lol be happy when the class average is worse than yours and study hard next time I am sure you are better than this
wrote his name, attempted question 1
it was something along the lines of (Explain how chemical signaling enables Long term memory devlopment) 7 marks
he writes like 2 keywords randomly, gives up
then hands in his exam and leaves
Is this high-school level? I feel like we learned about similar-level stuff in first-year uni Psych. You've got to be pretty smart to be learning it now
As to the grade itself, one bad grade happens, the question is how much you let it affect your overall performance. I started doing a lot better when I spent less time pressurizing myself to do better and more time objectively analyzing what I did wrong, then making a study plan adjusted to my weakest points.
And less time on vlr helps...
ah i see. most of my friends did physics instead of Bio, that's why I wasn't too familiar.
Shouldn't you guys get scaling anyway then? 26/45 would be like a 90 on a normal IB physics test. Is the weighting you're talking about after the normal IB scaling?
my school does internals in december and externals in april
rn teachers can do any grading scheme they want
my bio teacher scores tests than weighs into letter grades
then in april u do IB regular testing
I mean the test is graded on a curve for a reason, they probably never expected anyone to get an extremely high score in the first place.
for organic chem i can make flashcards and memorise all the functional groups
chemical signaling is more concept based
dude u have to force urself to sleep 8 hours even if there's nothing going on that way u can get better memory
also whenever it's break time/once u got home/any free time, js study and turn the topics into questions
write all of the questions down then answer them as soon as u wrote it
eliminate ur weakest lessons immediately by prioritizing that shit first
also SCAN THE WHOLE FUCKING TEST FIRST, ANSWER THE EASY ONES THEN RETURN TO THE HARD ONES
