This is a fairly late post about I.B. scores - for those of you who don't know every May I.B. students take their I.B. exams in each of their subjects.
The scores (1-7) are made up of 2 parts the Internal Assessment (graded by school officials i.e. internally) and the External Assessment (graded by examiners all over the world - seriously, like Thailand and Norway, thus external). In the beginning of July, students can access their scores online - through the I.B.O. site OR they can call their coordinators (the Thieles or Pafford, for you Franklin people) and ask them directly.
To get the diploma, you need a minimum of 24 points (4 points in each of your 6 six subjects - average). However, there are a few rules. You must test out of 3 Higher Level classes, and score a minimum of 12 points between the 3. You are disqualified if you score a 2 or lower on a Higher Level (HL) exam. For Standard Level (SL) classes, you are disqualified if you have a 1 or lower.
In addition to the exam- I.B. students remember - you must complete your 150 CAS (Creativity Action Service) hours, Extended Essay (maximum 4k words), and TOK (Theory of Knowledge - a class, an essay, and a presentation).
*** EE + TOK = 2 extra credit points ***
Soooooo - scores have been out since Saturday. You can check them yourselves online, or just call and ask - be brave, you can do it!

Yes, it is important to take notice that it's not the end of the world if you calculate your scores and end up one or two points shy of the 24 minimum.
Why?
Because of the 2 extra points you can pick up from Extended Essays and the Theory of Knowledge Essay.
Some people keep forgetting this little piece of information.
