What is the IB Diploma Programme and how does scoring work?
The IBDP curriculum is designed around six subject groups and a foundational core that includes Theory of Knowledge (TOK), the Extended Essay (EE), and Creativity, Activity, and Service (CAS). Students choose six subjects: three at Higher Level (HL) and three at Standard Level (SL).
Each subject can earn up to seven points, and with the core components adding up to three extra points, the maximum possible score is 45 points.
