The IBO are not using predicted grades at all. They are relying 100 % on one piece of work ( internal assessment) which was never intended for this purpose and is highly unreliable ( some students were able to submit after they knew of its new importance, examples can. E bought off internet). Many IB students remain unfathomably downgraded, at a distinct disadvantage versus A levels using predicted grades and unable to progress to University. The issues with the awarding model from IBO are far from solved or addressed.

AS FOR THE PREDICTED GRADES, THEY ARE NOWHERE IN THE PICTURE; BECAUSE OF AN INDECISIVE BOARD,MANY A KID HAS BEEN DOWNGRADED OR LOST THEIR UNI ADMISSION & ABSOLUTELY NO RECOGNITION OF THIS OR AN APOLOGY FROM IB…WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR JUSTICE!
