Hello everybody,
THIS WILL TAKE YOU NO LONGER THAN 30 SECONDS AND WILL HELP MANY FORMER STUDENTS AND FUTURE ONES TOO, SO PLEASE HELP!!
As you may well know, these year's IBDP Physics HL and SL exams have been horrendous. They have been really difficult and seniors have been complaining about this fact. They have said it has been one of the most challenging papers they have ever done. They have also stated that the exam has been more difficult than any of the past papers they've ever done, and have been really frustrated by this fact because grade boundaries are really high and it is very difficult to score a high percentage on the exam. Grade boundaries are really high and we are going to, with all our energy, try to reach the IBO and somehow convince them to lower them for everybody around the world to have a more pleasing experience when sitting the exam. With lower grade boundaries, it will be easier to not only score higher marks, but also pass, which for many students seems impossible. By signing this petition you help not only May 2019 students, but future students, because the grade boundary will most likely stay the same if lowered. Keep in mind that the IBO is there to provide a better high school education and wants nobody to fail, therefore they will may consider helping us. In the past this “grade boundary-lowering” has occurred for mathematics, and boundaries have stayed pretty much the same, so why not trying for physics. Thank you everybody in advance and we hope to make this dream come true.
Thank you for your time,
A former IB student

The IBO continues to ignore our frustration while students are left wondering how they will pass these impossible exams. They set us up for failure with these absurdly high boundaries and refuse to acknowledge the reality of the papers they put in front of us. We are not backing down until they address this disaster.

This test was incredibly hard, even my physics teacher can't get a 6 in that exam
I agree with this petition. The ib must be focused on taught not to stress and break emotionally the students.
Lower the boundaries
I agre
hope it works out :)
I guess p1 and 3 were pretty hard for tz2 physics

Please get this through to IBO! Those papers were incredibly harder than the past papers I've attempted!
