TOK/EE Matrix
IB core points are additional points awarded by the IB DP, which along with the grades received in other subjects, contribute to the student's overall IB score. Students may receive up to 3 core points. The allocation of IB core points is based on the student's combined performance in the Theory of Knowledge (TOK) and Extended Essay (EE). The number of points is determined using the table below:
| EE/TOK Grade | A | B | C | D | E |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
A | 3 | 3 | 2 | 2 | Fail |
B | 3 | 2 | 2 | 1 | Fail |
C | 2 | 2 | 1 | 0 | Fail |
D | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | Fail |
E | Fail | Fail | Fail | Fail | Fail |
