    Thought it was a lovely paper. Think I got most of the shorts, the skin and consumer I think I definitely almost got full marks. The question one was fine except I didn't get types of sauces. The vegetable question at first was hard but managed to remember bits. Hoping for a B.

    Same situation as mine, do you think if we get a B in our exam we could still get an A if we get good marks for our project and cooking?

    If you are doing HL, the exam is worth 300 marks and the cooking is worth 210 and the project is worth 90, for a total of 600.

    Let's say (just for argument's sake) you got a middling B grade in the exam - that would be about 78%, or 234 marks.

    If you did well on the cooking, let's say you got 180 marks out of 210 (not going mad) and let's say 75 out of 90 on the project (again, not going overboard).

    That would give a total of 489 out of 600, which would be 81.5%, not a million miles from an A. You can see how just a little bit higher marks than the estimates I made and you would have your A.

    Don't worry.
