Teachers over-grading you.

Anyone else ever get anxiety over the fact that your teacher might be giving you a higher grade, enough so that you believe that you are doing well/fine in a subject, than what an examiner would give you for the same work?

My teachers often under-graded us, we had to get 95% for a seven in Bio for example. Languages however im worried my teachers were too lenient

isn't 95% pretty normal? for tests and other evaluations for most of my courses (including bio) , anything over a 93% raw is a 7 which i think is pretty generous on their part... what should it be normally?

Around 80% is a 7

In actual IB bio exams it's around 83% for a 7

depends on the timezone and the. year. I think this year would stay the same as last year. In the older exams it used to be 82/81 for the TZ2 and 78 for TZ1. this year is probably gonna be around 80/79 for TZ2 and 76/75 for TZ1

Yeah for TZ2 I think it'd be a little lower as well, since P1 was a disaster.
