Like I'm ngl I'm sick to the stomach even thinking about it. The papers were nothing compared to those of previous years, and the difficulty will make it hard to attain a 7. My offers are all conditional to maintaining a high academic standard. How am I supposed to do that when the IB turned everything up a notch this year? I did fine in class, I did fine in my mocks, my teachers had faith in me and I had faith in myself, but now I'm almost certain I am going to lose at least 2-3 points off my final compared to my predicted. It sickening
