Introduction
RevisionDojo’s free IB Grade Calculator helps IB Diploma Programme students turn practice marks into a clear 0–45 prediction and a concise scoresheet. It accepts subject marks, official grade boundaries, your examination timezone, and core selections for TOK and the Extended Essay (EE), then outputs total points and an indicative “Diploma Awarded?” status. Use it to check university targets, identify weak subjects, and plan focused revision. See the live tool on the IB Grade Calculator page. IB Grade Calculator
Required inputs
Enter the following exactly as they apply to your session and subjects. The calculator relies on accurate boundaries and core selections.
-
Subjects: six IBDP subjects (SL/HL as relevant).
-
Marks: your best representative marks for each subject (from mocks or timed practice).
-
Official grade boundaries: the mark ranges that map to grades 1–7 for your timezone/session.
-
Examination timezone/session: ensures you use the correct set of boundaries for your cohort.
-
Core selections: predicted grades for Theory of Knowledge (TOK) and the Extended Essay (EE).
A quick reference table of what you’ll provide and why it matters:
| Field | What you enter | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Subject + level | e.g., Biology HL, Math AA SL | Determines which boundaries and targets to apply. |
| Mark | Raw score from a recent mock or paper set | Converted to a 1–7 using the boundaries you supply. |
| Grade boundaries | Official cut scores for your session/timezone | Drives accurate 1–7 conversion per subject. |
| Exam timezone | Your IB timezone or session | Aligns boundaries to your exact cohort. |
| TOK + EE grades | Predicted letter grades (A–E) | Determines 0–3 core points added to the total. |

Calculation logic (step‑by‑step)
-
Subject grades (1–7): For each of the six subjects, your entered mark is mapped to a grade using the official boundary table you supplied for that subject and timezone.
-
Subject total (0–42): The six subject grades are summed to a maximum of 42.
-
Core points (0–3): Your selected TOK and EE grades are combined via the IB core matrix to yield 0–3 points. Note: a TOK E + EE E combination yields 0 core points. IB Grade Calculator
-
Final total (0–45): Subject total (0–42) + core points (0–3).
-
Diploma status: The scoresheet displays an indicative “Diploma Awarded? YES/NO” based on your inputs (total points and core conditions). Treat this as guidance only; final results depend on official IB moderation and all program requirements. IB Grade Calculator
What the scoresheet shows
After you submit inputs, the calculator produces a compact report so you can interpret results at a glance:
-
Per‑subject line items: subject, mark, boundary‑derived grade (1–7), and points contribution.
-
Core summary: TOK grade, EE grade, and computed Core Points (0–3).
-
Grand total: 0–45 IB points.
-
Diploma flag: “Diploma Awarded? YES/NO” based on the entered data.
Example elements shown on the tool include core rows (TOK, EE, Core Points) and the diploma flag. IB Grade Calculator
