How do I earn an IB Diploma?
-
- You must take and test in all 6 subjects and either 3 or 4 must be HL.
- You must complete the requirements for TOK, EE, and CAS.
- There is no grade/score for CAS but you must fulfill all CAS requirements to earn the diploma. (You earn a grade for your transcript only.)
- You must not score an “E” for either EE or TOK. (“E” is a failing grade.)
- You must earn total points greater than or equal to 24 (out of 45 possible)
- Score greater than or equal to 12 points on HL exams (total of 3 best HL scores)
- Score greater than or equal to
- 9 points on SL exams if 3 are taken
- 5 points on SL exams if 2 are taken
- The following will make it impossible to earn a diploma:
- Scoring a “1” on any exam.
- Scoring three or more “2”s on exams.
- Scoring a total of four or more “3”s, “2”s, and “1”s (any combination).
