IB Diploma



At the end of the three-year programme students are both internally and externally assessed. In all subjects teachers mark individual pieces of work produced as part of a course ( oral exercises in language subjects, projects, portfolios, practical laboratory work, investigations). The student's internal assessment works are then sent to examiners in the world and moderated. In May each student has to sit a long, four-week exam session in all six subjects. Each subject consists of two to three papers, written in English (except languages).

The rules for the examinations conduct are very strict; each school must strictly follow the procedures and IBO supervision during the session.

The exam papers are marked externally by examiners on different continents and, combined with the internal marks obtained by students, the final diploma grades are awarded by the IBO committee.The results of the diplomas are passed to schools electronically on July 5th; the final diploma documents are mailed to schools in August.

The passing condition for the diploma is 24 points; maximum score is 45: 42 for the subjects and 3 points bonus for Extended Essay and TOK essay. The highest scores of 45 points are achieved by very few students in the world (around 40 in one session).
