IB Diploma Programme Structure
| Section | Duration | Question types | Weighting | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 Subject Exams (Groups 1–6) | Varies by subject | Paper 1, Paper 2 and (at HL) Paper 3 — short response, essay, problem-solving | Roughly 75–80% of the total | The number of questions, the timing and the paper structure differ for every IB subject. In the sciences, the lab-based IA is an additional component. |
| Internal Assessment (IA) | Research or project work spread across the year | Depends on the subject: lab report, maths exploration, history investigation, language IO and so on | Usually 20–30% of the subject grade | Marked by the student's teacher at school and moderated by the IB. |
| Theory of Knowledge (TOK) | A two-year course | 1,600-word essay (prescribed title) + exhibition (3 objects + commentary) | 0–3 bonus points, together with the EE | Compulsory for every IBDP student. |
| Extended Essay (EE) | A 4,000-word research project spread across the year | An independent research essay in a chosen IB subject | 0–3 bonus points, together with TOK | From May 2027 the World Studies EE is replaced by an interdisciplinary pathway that combines two DP subjects. Candidates sitting in November 2026 can still take a World Studies EE. |
| CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) | — | — | — | Not graded; an experiential learning component that must be completed to earn the diploma. |
IB Scoring (max 45)
The IBDP total is the sum of the 1–7 grades from each of the six subjects (max 42) plus 0–3 bonus points from TOK and the EE (max 45). University entry thresholds vary by institution and programme, and many universities also set minimum grades in specific HL subjects.
- 7Excellent — the IBDP's top grade band, defined by the subject grade descriptors the IB publishes.
- 6Very good — the grade band many selective universities ask for at HL.
- 5Good — a common university entry threshold.
- 4Satisfactory — basic competence; some universities require a minimum of 4 at HL/SL.
- 3Mediocre — acceptable for the diploma but limiting for competitive applications.
- 2Poor — weak performance in the subject.
- 1Very poor — puts the diploma requirements at risk.
