Parent's handbook

A parent's guide to the IB Diploma

How the Diploma is scored, the dates that matter, choosing subjects and planning the final months.

Get matched with a tutor
Chapter 01

How the Diploma is scored

The International Baccalaureate sets and marks the Diploma Programme. Students take six subjects, at least three at Higher Level, plus the core: Theory of Knowledge, the Extended Essay and CAS. To earn the Diploma, students generally need at least 24 points out of 45 and must complete CAS.

UK universities usually make IB offers as a total points score, often with set scores in HL subjects. That means every point counts, including the core points from TOK and the Extended Essay, which many students leave too late.

Subjects
Six, each graded 1 to 7
Core
Up to 3 points from TOK and the Extended Essay
Pass
At least 24 points, plus other conditions
Higher Level
More depth and teaching time than Standard Level
Chapter 02

Key dates in the IB years

Most UK IB schools follow the May exam session, so the Diploma runs across Years 12 and 13. Internal assessment, Extended Essay and TOK deadlines are set by each school, so ask for the full calendar early.

DP Year 1
Subjects begin, Extended Essay topic chosen
DP Year 2 autumn
UCAS applications and internal assessments
May
Final exams in most UK IB schools
Early July
May session results released
Chapter 03

Choosing IB subjects and levels

Start with what your child enjoys and does well, then check subject requirements for the university courses they are considering. The Higher Level choice matters most, because HL subjects carry more content and longer exams than Standard Level.

Maths has two courses, each at SL or HL, and they suit different students. Trying real questions from both with your child is the quickest way to choose, and some university courses ask for a specific maths course.

Analysis and Approaches
Algebra, calculus and proof
Applications and Interpretation
Statistics, modelling and technology
HL

Language
Check the school’s options for Groups 1 and 2
Chapter 04

When to start and the final months

DP Year 1 is the best time to fix gaps, before internal assessments and the Extended Essay crowd the calendar. Weekly lessons work best when they balance subject content with the next internal assessment draft, so nothing lands in the same fortnight.

After mock exams in DP Year 2, the focus shifts to past IB papers, sat under timed conditions and marked against the IB markschemes. Mock results show which topics need the most time, and every lost mark is reworked before May.

DP Year 1

Chapter 05

How Tutero works

Your child keeps the same tutor every week, and lessons start from their own school work and IB deadlines. Lessons are 1-to-1, with one tutor per subject, and you receive a written report after every lesson, so you always know what was covered and what comes next.

The IB Diploma, step by step

What IB Diploma students work on at each stage, and how a tutor helps.

Get matched with a tutor

Year 11

Most UK students take GCSEs in Year 11, then choose their six IB subjects and which three or four to take at Higher Level.

Year 11

  • Choosing subjects
  • HL or SL
  • Maths course choice
  • Study habits
Sample topic sentence

The poet's shift from the first person to the third distances the speaker from her grief, as if it belonged to someone else.

How a tutor helps

Tries real IB questions with your child, so HL choices are made on evidence.

Based on the IBO Diploma Programme curriculum overview.

DP Year 1

Usually Year 12. Students start six subjects plus the core, and choose an Extended Essay topic.

DP Year 1

  • Functions and calculus
  • Text analysis
  • Extended Essay topic
  • TOK concepts
Worked example

Find the turning point of y = x2 − 6x + 5.

How a tutor helps

DP Year 2

  • Internal assessments
  • Extended Essay
  • Paper practice
  • Weekly revision
Sample paragraph opener

Historians and scientists both rely on evidence, but they disagree about how much a single source can prove.

How a tutor helps

Keeps each subject on track week by week, so deadlines never land in the same fortnight.

Internal assessment

Each subject has internal assessment, marked by teachers and moderated by the IB, which counts toward the final grade.

Internal assessment

  • IA criteria
  • Research question
  • Drafting
  • Feedback
Worked example

Differentiate f(x) = (2x + 1)3.

Answerf′(x) = 6(2x + 1)2

IB exams

Most UK IB schools sit the May session. Results are released in early July.

IB exams

  • Past papers
  • Paper 1 and Paper 2
  • Timed essays
  • Exam technique
Worked example

Solve 2x + 1 = 16.

Answerx = 3

How a tutor helps
