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.
May session results typically release in early July. Schools announce detailed cohort achievements shortly after, helping families assess performance for admissions and university pathways.
Rigorous teaching, diverse student bodies, and emphasis on core IB elements like TOK, EE, and CAS drive success. High percentages scoring 40+ and bilingual diplomas prepare graduates well for global universities.
