IB Examination Results
IB Diploma 2011 subject breakdown
Our Diploma average was 34.16, whereas the world average was 29.59. Last year our IB Diploma average was 31. 32% of our students achieved 40 points or more, with one student obtaining 45 points.
To put this into perspective less than 1% of students worldwide gain 45 points.
The following should be considered when interpreting the figures in the table:
- The number of candidates examined in each subject
- That BBS welcomes students with a range of abilities
- That many students will have been operating in their second or third language
- That such statistics, whilst of value, should be interpreted with appropriate caution.
