Historical Grade Trends
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the IB grade calculator work?
It combines the marks you enter for each assessment component using official IB weightings, then maps the weighted total to historical grade boundaries for the session you select.
How accurate are the grade predictions?
Predictions follow official weightings and past-session boundaries. Your live result can still differ if your exam session’s boundaries shift or if entered marks are estimates.
Should I enter predicted marks?
Yes when a component is not final yet. Replace estimates with confirmed IA, oral, or coursework marks as soon as you have them for a tighter prediction.
Why does changing the exam session change my grade?
Boundaries are session-specific. The same weighted total can map to different grades under different May or November grade boundaries.
Which Global Politics marks should I enter?
For SL, enter marks for: Paper 1, Paper 2, and Internal Assessment. For HL, enter marks for: Paper 1, Paper 2, Internal Assessment, and Extension Oral. It is best to use confirmed coursework or oral marks if you have them, and estimate your paper marks if you have not yet taken the exams.
What extra component do HL Global Politics students need compared with SL?
HL students must also complete the Extension Oral. Without the Extension Oral, an HL Global Politics grade estimate is incomplete. If you are an SL student, please only select SL components.
How much can the Global Politics oral change my predicted grade?
The oral component accounts for approximately 20% of your Global Politics grade. You can try adjusting your oral mark by ±2 to see if it moves you across the next grade boundary.
