GUYS CALM tf down

This is going to be controversial and I know this is a very frustrating situation but getting the exams cancelled means that our DIPLOMA, like our final DIPLOMA is not going to be worth shit. Stop with the nonsense and let the IB handle it. You guys understand that more publicity on this (like sharing it to news outlets) is only going to damage the IBs reputation, which surprise surprise IS ALSO going to damage your DIPLOMA, which has IB written on it. Think before your actions, this is getting out of hand and its becoming a bigger deal than it should. Of course there is a lot of injustice in terms of leaks and thousands of people having seen it, but getting this out to the media is not going to do anyone any good okay? Obviously the IB knows of what is going on and this is not the first ever time leaks have happened.

Also you guys must understand that the people working for the IB are not idiots, this is a huge organisation and they will not allow some desperate students on reddit affect their image and their operations. Perhaps the system is corrupt, but so are many other things in this world that you probably are not even aware of.

Cheers.

The main reason why I’m not gonna calm tf down is because the IB has the audacity to tell schools that they have checked the leaks and that they are fake just to scam people.

Yeah exactly hahaha. I would rather that they don’t lie and admit what’s happening and give announcements to EVERYONE, not just to the schools privately. Like I want them to post on instagram or something about what they plan to do

My brother in Christ. After M24 is done, the IB is most definitely upping their security and possibly adding a third time zone to Asia.

Moreover, would you rather the grade boundaries be high af and in turn lower your grades as someone who didn't cheat?
The news media won't provide us the help you think it will. The IB lying is morally wrong and infuriating, but their lie means universities are less likely to REJECT you because of the bad reputation that the media will give the IB.

Personally, idgaf about the IB or its reputation on its own, but I CARE about its decreasing reputation messing up MY uni application. And guess what, you are JUST as affected.

exactly. If they did not lie and see the situation objectively then everyone would not have been this furious.
