IB Marking Scheme

Final IB marks range from a 0 – 7.

A boost of 0 – 7 may be given to students who work hard. This reflects the increased difficulty of work.

Universities usually take one’s best mark and usually only give credit for a 5, 6, or 7 in HL classes. As more Canadian universities understand IB, credit is being given for TOK and SL classes.
