For students around the globe, the IB Results day marks the culmination of years of hard work, dedication, and countless hours of study. Keep reading to find out when IB Results are released, how to access them and everything else you need to know!
IB Results Day
IB results are officially released each year on July 5th, but students gain access to them on the following day, July 6th, around 2 p.m. UK Time. When it comes to the November session, from 2024 and onwards, the results will be released on the 16th of December.
How do I access my results?
Once results become accessible to students, you can access them using this link. To view your grades you must login using your student personal code and a PIN provided by your IB Coordinator. Most schools will provide this information a few hours before the results are available. If your school hasn't done so, it's best to email your IB Coordinator for assistance.
What type of information will be available?
After logging into the results portal, the following information will be available:
- the IB score
- the grades achieved in individual subjects
- the amount of marks scored in each subject along with the upper and lower grade boundaries
- the grades obtained for the Extended Essay and TOK
How do I send my IB results to my chosen universities?
In some cases, such as for example UK universities, your IB results will be sent automatically to your university choices within a week. Other universities may however require you to provide them with your score in a different way. It is therefore best to check with your specific universities for their preferred method and ensure that you follow their instructions promptly.
Keep in mind that with the huge amounts of candidate scores to process, universities may take several days or even weeks to confirm your place. If you have been waiting for an extended period of time and you're starting to get worried, it is best to contact your university.
What should I do if my IB results are lower than expected?
First and foremost, do not panic! There's a few options available that might help improve your situation.
Firstly, if you missed your offer by a few marks, you may consider requesting an IB Category 1 remark. IB examiners often make minor mistakes when marking exams and if you're just a few points under the upper grade boundary there's a chance your grade may increase. For more detailed information on the IB Remark Procedure, make sure to check out our blog post.
If your IB score is significantly lower than you expected, you may consider resitting the exams in the next session (in 6 months) or the session after that (in 12 months). Fortunately, you don't have to retake all your exams. You can choose which subjects to resit, allowing you to focus on improving specific scores without risking the grades in subjects you've already done well in.
Additionally, some universities may go into clearing. Clearing allows students to apply for courses with available spots at universities, even if they didn't meet the conditions of their initial offers.
When will I receive my IB Diploma?
The physical IB Diploma is issued in Geneva, Switzerland, and typically arrives at schools about a month after the results are released. Once the diplomas arrive, students can collect them from their school.
