What else should you consider when analyzing the IB results?

  • Student Selection and What Is an Inclusive School: If a school has a highly selective admissions process, it may only enroll students who are already high achievers, leading to inflated average scores.  If the school says “inclusive school,” that means that all students are welcome to take the IB exam.  You can ask your school if it incusive or not when analyzing the scores.
  • Cohort Size: Smaller cohorts may have more variability in scores, while larger cohorts can provide a more stable average.

2026 Hong Kong IB Results: How does Hong Kong compare?

How do Hong Kong IB results compare to global and Singapore averages?

Hong Kong consistently excels with averages over 36-37, strong bilingual diplomas, and pass rates near 97%. This matches or exceeds Singapore’s impressive results, highlighting Asia’s top IB hubs for university preparation.

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.

When are IB Diploma results released for Hong Kong schools?

May session results typically release in early July. Schools announce detailed cohort achievements shortly after, helping families assess performance for admissions and university pathways.
