Q&A

JOLEE Tung

Mulgrave School Class of 2015 | Interviewed by Michelle Noble | July 2015

Jolee, congratulations on your outstanding exam results! How many IBDP exams do students have to take? I wrote exams in six Diploma Programme subjects, as well as Theory of Knowledge (ToK) and wrote an Extended Essay (EE).

What was your first thought when you received the news that you achieved a perfect score on your IBDP final assessment? I was actually in Barcelona when the exam results came in, but with the time change I had almost forgotten about it until one of my friends messaged me asking if I had seen them yet. I was in a butcher shop at the time, so I quickly went outside, sat on a park bench, and tried to load

the results on my phone. All I got was, ‘internet service error’. So the suspense lasted a little longer until I finally found an internet café. I think my first thought was, ‘Is this real?’ I will always remember that internet café!
