Really? I was never smart enough for the IB program so I don't know how it works. But if that's the case, then her acheivement isn't as crazy as I originally thought. I mean, to get a 100% average, that just means she finished at the top of her class in each of the subjects. Not saying that's easy to do, but it would be significantly easier to do than getting perfect scores on every single assignment, test, and exam in every grade 12 subject.
