Who had the most number of IB students? Which school had the most impressive pass rate? Who wowed us all with the top average score?

Keep reading to find out!


IB Diploma: A Quick Overview


The IB Diploma is a highly demanding qualification. It is completed in the final two years of Secondary school (Years 12&13/Grades 11&12) and is recognised by universities all over the world as equivalent to the British A Levels, the Australian HSC and many other international university-entrance qualifications.


Students must take 6 subjects across a broad range of subject areas and complete 3 compulsory components in order to be eligible for the IB Diploma.


IB Diploma Scoring


The overall Diploma is scored out of 45.


3 points are awarded for completing compulsory components of the IB Diploma Programme:


The remaining 42 points?

These come from the grades awarded for 6 subjects, each scored out of 7 - with 7 being the highest possible grade that can be awarded, and 1 the lowest.


It's worth bearing in mind that students have to choose these 6 subjects from a broad range (unlike in the A Levels, when students can specialise and focus on their strengths). IB Diploma students therefore need to be real academic 'all rounders'.


A minimum score of 24/45 is required to officially pass the IB Diploma. You can read more about how the diploma is scored here.


Top universities around the world tend to look for overall scores 38 or higher. Want to learn more about what IB Diploma scores universities expect? Check out this interesting article.
