Students are assessed through a mixture of internal assessment (coursework) and external public examinations. The internal assessment is normally marked internally and moderated externally by the IBO. The final examinations are set and marked externally by the IBO and taken during the month of May in the second year of the course.
All subjects are assessed on specific IB Diploma subject criteria which are published on the subject-specific curriculum guides and readily available to DP teachers and students via https://www.ibo.org/programmes/diploma-programme/assessment-and-exams/understanding-ib-assessment/
Each of the six subjects is awarded a grade on scale of 1 to 7, with 3 considered to be a minimum passing grade in Standard level (SL) courses and 4 a passing grade in Higher Level (HL) courses.
Diploma Program assessment procedures measure the extent to which students have mastered advanced academic skills in fulfilling these goals, for example: analysing and presenting information; evaluating and constructing arguments; solving problems creatively. Basic skills are also assessed, including the retention of knowledge and the understanding of key concepts. In addition to academic skills, Diploma Program assessment encourages an international outlook and intercultural skills where appropriate.
