Getting Your Scores
Students can access their own results via the IB’s candidate results website. You will not be able to access your scores without your "Candidate Personal Indentification Number" report. (These documents are available for candidates to pick up in the spring semester.)
They will be able to do so one day after results are issued: on 6 July for the May session and 6 January for the November session.
In each examination session, about 80% of DP students are awarded the diploma. The IB has summaries of previous DP exam sessions, including comparisons with previous years.
You can also read about grading in each DP subject group.

Requesting IB Transcripts
The International Baccalaureate® (IB) provides an official transcript of grades for the Diploma Programme (DP). It is an official copy of an IB candidate’s results. Transcripts can be sent directly to an institute of higher education, such as a university. These documents are not sent to students or other organisations.
Before results are released, students can request to have results sent to one university in the USA. This service is free of charge. All requests must be submitted by the programme coordinator of the school where the student is taking the DP.
Additional transcript requests, or requests made past the set deadline for each year, can be made and will incur a fee.
