ALIS Test

To what extent can you rely on these results to accurately predict your final IBDP grades?

I think that only using these results to determine our predicted grades would be slightly inaccurate as it is just one test on one day, which might not have gone as well as you hoped for. I also think that the design of the test might not be the best way to measure the knowledge of someone as it tests only certain skills under pressure.

What process do you think we should use to come up with your final predictions?

I believe a good amount of factors should be considered when coming up with our final predictions. These would include our end of year exams, our class assessments, and what level the teacher honestly thinks we are at.

What are the strengths and weaknesses of knowledge acquired in this way?

I particularly did not enjoy this test as much, especially because of the time limit. This is because I felt that I had the ability to complete the questions successfully, but due to the time limit I was more panicked and so ended up answering some questions without thinking through it properly.

To what extent is intelligence fixed?

I don’t think that intelligence is fixed because I believe that we can always expand our knowledge and learn more. However, there are several different types of intelligences and I believe that some might be harder to control than others.
