I'm almost certain this isn't genuine. I'll be deleting this entry by the end of today if no one posts here to validate it.

cabbage kid

Low 200s in the mocks (not exactly sure because I purposely tried to forget it :P)

It's very unlikely to be, unless for some reason they missed most of their mocks or something. More likely though either a mis-entry or a troll. In any case it's a complete outlier which is just going to skew things.

Agreed.

Considering no one has validated it yet, i'll delete it.

Fair play to you!

I think the LC reform is very much needed mine was in 08 I don't remember my mock results except I failed higher business and got a B+ in the lc

Your points are relative to what you need not how high they are, It tells me nothing about your type of intelligence

I didn't fare so well in the finals but in college with exams and essays I got A's and B's coming from constantly scraping D's I think I was just bored in school.

Anywho I think the scoring reform would be help reduce the proportion of uni drop outs if you're exams tested more than mostly information retention.

I did my LC in 2008. Got around 330 ish (can't remember exactly! have managed to block it out ) but failed HL maths. Got 395 in the real deal (and an A1 in OL maths!). Was disappointed in myself but in the end its eventually got me where I wanted. Finished my 1st year of Nursing and got a 1st class honours

Mocks.. 310
LC... 455

I think a lot of people did. I got it for one subject in particular, and went from a D3 (I think - 40%?) to an A2. Was usually doing better than that though, just got complacent. Overall I went from 480 to 525 so delighted Lots more than I need.

It's an extremely common question. Do people generally speaking go up or down in points between the Mocks and the actual Exams?

I don't know and neither do most people so i've taken the liberty to create a survey to see what the general trend is. Just enter how many points you achieved in the Mock and how many points you achieved in the real thing and the spreadsheet will do all the rest.

Regardless of when you sat your LC you're welcome to participate. Repeats should put in all sets of results and not just their best.

Feel free to share the survey.

In advance of the LC Results tomorrow, i've re-opened the survey. I had plans to modify the spreadsheet to account for the bonus points for HL Maths but on reflection decided it would be best to leave it out entirely so that the data would all be comparable.

Good luck to everyone tomorrow. If last year is anything is to go by, you're far more likely to go up than go down in points from the mocks

Might bump this . . .now that everyone has the results.

HowAreWe

Got 400 in the pre's then I got 435 in real thing, not much of a jump but ah well.. I know a few people who got exactly the same as in the pre's actually.

Canard

Added mine in, my grades jumped around a bit but with the maths points I still got 530/530 - as per the survey I entered it as 520/520, funny how that worked. :P

I went up by 35 points.
I'll edit my post with my exact change in results tomorrow.

partyatmygaff

Don't forget to post in the survey. Posting in the thread is well and good but don't forget to add your results to the survey too.

Namlub

I was wondering why the points people said they got in the survey were lower than I remembered, then I saw that bonus points weren't included >_<
But yeah I went up 50 (er...I said my name was Hello)

You must find that you're always in great demand!

Sure didn't Lionel Richie dedicate a song to me and all. Unfortunately, it was not him that I was looking for...

finality

I went up 15 points, 545 to 560, not including bonus points.
Some individual grades went down though, for example I dropped a grade in maths and two grades in English.
