Assessment
In the IB Diploma Programme grading in each subject is on a scale of 7. The only exceptions are the Extended essay and Theory of knowledge which are graded on a scale of 5 (A-E).
The final grade of each subject is formed from the results of various components of the exam, some of which are evaluated internally, while others are assessed externally. The written exams taken at the end of the 2-year programme are accompanied by oral exams in the case of literature and languages, and in all subjects there is also a written work the students have to produce in the course of the programme.
The finals grades of the six subjects make a total of maximum 6×7, that is 42 points. An additional 3 points can be obtained for the combination of the Theory of knowledge and the Extended essay, making the maximum total 45 points.
