<p>how hard is it to get 45 points for the diploma?</p>
<p>EXTREMELY hard. almost impossible to get 7's on all of your IB exams + earn the 3 pts from your EE and TOK</p>
<p>our school basically gives us so many required IB classes that I think we don't have anyone at my school not getting the diploma.</p>
<p>what scores do most people get?</p>
<p>You need an average of 4 for all your Standard Level tests as well as the Higher Level ones. So getting 24 points is enough to get diploma. Also, the 3 pts from EE and TOK go only towards your SL classes.</p>
<p>Oh Okay. Has anyone ever gotten straight 7's and the 3 points? or a 44?</p>
<p>this guy at my school got a 42, but that's the highest i've seen</p>
<p>You're a scary 8th grader. Seriously. I don't even know how to pronounce IB, let alone spell it.</p>
<p>I did IB in high school... my IBC said that only one person from our school had ever gotten a 45. </p>
<p>I still did really well though - 41 on a bilingual diploma with A's on both essays (HL: Chemistry, History in French, English A1; SL: Math Methods in French, French A2, Biology). Most of my classmates had scores around 34-36, with some below and some above. We had 44 IB grads (9 bilingual diploma) and all of them passed. </p>
<p>If you're smart and put some good work in 40 is achievable. You also have to figure out what the IB wants. You could be a genuis, but not follow the marking rubrics and fail.

<p>Gryffon: Damn right I am. And proud. I do my research. :D</p>
<p>Thanks Cowgirl you sound cool! Thanks for the site!</p>
<p>It depends how smart you are...for me it would be easy because I will have already covered the material on the IB syllabus 2-3 years before.</p>
