How we work this out

What it does

Enter your marks on each paper and the investigation, then your school's boundaries.

IB Diploma Biology and Chemistry, SL and HL, first assessed in 2025.

Method

  1. Each component's marks are turned into a share of its weighting: Paper 1 36%, Paper 2 44%, the scientific investigation 20%.
  2. The three shares add up to your weighted total out of 100.
  3. If you enter grade boundaries, the grade is the highest one whose boundary your total reaches.
