IB Marking Scheme
Final IB marks range from a 0 – 7.
A boost of 0 – 7 may be given to students who
work hard. This reflects the increased difficulty
of work.
Universities usually take one’s best mark and
usually only give credit for a 5, 6, or 7 in HL
classes. As more Canadian universities
understand IB, credit is being given for TOK
and SL classes.
