| Grade |
Description |
| 7 |
Excellent |
| 6 |
Very Good |
| 5 |

| 4 |
Satisfactory |
| 3 |
Mediocre |

Award of the Diploma
The IB Diploma will be awarded to candidates who in the examinations obtain a total points score of 24 points or more.
|
This total must be achieved in conformity with the following provisions:
|
| a. |
Higher level subjects: in principle the candidate should achieve a Grade 4 or above in each Higher level subject. Nevertheless, ONE Grade 3 (but not a Grade 2, nor a Grade 1) will be acceptable if compensated by Grade 5 or above in another subject offered at Higher level. |
| b. |
Standard level subjects: results of subjects offered at this level must not include:
- A Grade 1
- More than ONE Grade 2
|
| c. |
Overall results: this must not include
- More than three Grade 3's
- More than one Grade 3 if there is a Grade 2 at Standard level.

|
Each is graded on one of five bands:
|
| Band A |
Work of an excellent standard |
| Band B |
Work of a good standard |
| Band C |

| Band D |
Work of a mediocre standard |
| Band E |

For example, a candidate who achieves level B for Theory of Knowledge and level C for the Extended Essay will be awarded one bonus point.
Candidates who achieve level E for both Theory of Knowledge and the Extended Essay will be awarded F for their bonus score. The award F is a failing condition for the Diploma. However, if a student gets an A for either the EE or TOK but an F in the other core element then they must secure a total of 28 points overall in their subjects to secure the diploma.
The combination of points for subjects and bonus points means that the maximum possible points score for the Diploma is 45.
