  1. Understanding IB Marking

  2. Graduating with IB Diploma Student must receive a combined total of 24 points in the 6 courses. For teachers to produce marks the following process takes place:

  3. The Teacher’s Mark Teacher’s give a test which consists of “IB questions” All IB assessments come with a rubrix the teacher uses to score a student’s work Teacher marks using the IB rubrix A “raw” IB mark is produced

  4. Step Two IB creates “markbands” Markbands are bands IB has determined per subject which fit 1-7 IB Scale Example 7 in Physics Paper 1 in 2014 was between 32-40/40 7 in Physics Paper 2 in 2014 was between 68-95/95

  5. 1-7 Teacher’s use their OWN subject markbands and with the rubrix come up with an IB 1-7 grade 1 very poor 2 poor 3 mediocre 4 satisfactory 5 good 6 very good 7 excellent

  6. Next Step For transcript and report card (power school purposes) Students require a percentage grade Teachers consult with the Nova Scotia scale

  7. Nova Scotia Scale The Nova Scotia scale was set by the Nova Scotia Department of Education in consultation with University officials who had conducted a longitudinal study of IB grades vs non IB grades and performance in first year University courses As a result, the government scale is as follows:

  8. Nova Scotia Scale 1 0 -50% 2 50-69% 3 70-76% 4 77-83% 5 84-91% 6 92-98% 7 99-100%

  9. Transcripts Universities accept the 1-7 grades, and converted grades, and are well aware of how to “read” them

  10. The core Students have the opportunity to gain up to 3 points between their TOK course and EE The coordinator uses the following IB Matrix to determine the points Students must pass both the TOK course and the EE to qualify for their IB Diploma

  11. Final Totals A student’s final total is reached by adding 1-7 scores for the 6 subjects plus the points gained from TOK and EE The Highest total a student can achieve is 45

  12. External Marking IB trained staff work to mark students’ work. This is a multi-facetted process

  13. Teacher’s Predicted Grades Teacher’s predict student marks and send them to IB IB markers mark each paper, and in turn, each marker is checked and supervised by a team lead. A marker marks a certain number of papers using the IB rubrix The marker must submit to the team lead at regular intervals along the way

  14. Checks and Balances The Team lead ensures the marker is adhering to subject rubrix The team lead must then submit a sample of work they have checked to the Subject Head The Subject Head is then checked by the Highest officials

  15. IB Marking is Predictable IB Marking is predictable and transparent Students are given the rubrix from which they will be scored

  16. Results Student results are available in early July The IB Coordinator checks through the final results carefully If a Coordinator thinks a remark should happen, it can be ordered. A remark can bring a mark up or down and requires student approval.
