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 Music marks should I enter?
For SL, enter marks for: Exploring Music In Context, Experimenting With Music, and Presenting Music. For HL, enter marks for: Exploring Music In Context, Experimenting With Music, Music-Maker, and Presenting Music. 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 Music students need compared with SL?
HL students must also complete the Music-Maker. Without the Music-Maker, an HL Music grade estimate is incomplete. If you are an SL student, please only select SL components.
Which Music component should I change first when exploring my grade?
Stress-test Music-Maker first (about 30% weighting) or your least certain paper—those changes move the predicted Music grade most.
