Every year a sample of the internal assment work is sent by the teacher in charge for external moderation. In this process a third part (the moderator) tries to decide whether the teacher has applied the criteria correctly in his/her assessment. More about moderation.

Final grades

The final grade awarded for an IB subject is from 1-7. The schools receive a breakdown of the grade achieved in each part of the exam.

The requirements to achieve the IB diploma are fairly complex and may be found here: IB diploma award requirements
