We have compiled a list of the news from top schools in Hong Kong, with more to be added after completing the November session exams.
What is the exam and how does IBDP Exam scoring work?
The IBDP curriculum is a dynamic blend of six subject groups alongside a foundational core, which features Theory of Knowledge (TOK), the Extended Essay (EE), and Creativity, Activity, and Service (CAS). This core component is essential for all IBDP students. Each student selects six subjects, one from each group, with three pursued at Higher Level (HL) and three at Standard Level (SL). Students can earn up to seven points for each subject, plus an extra three points for the core, culminating in a potential maximum score of 45 points.
