INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE RESULTS (MAY 2000)

In the May 2000 examination session 66 IST students sat for examinations in 42 IB subjects. 48 of these entries were candidates for the full IB Diploma while the rest were taking IB Certificate courses.
IB Diploma candidates need to offer 6 subjects, at least 3 at Higher level and 3 at Standard level. The candidate's performance in each subject, is graded on a scale of 1 (minimum) to 7 (maximum). Candidates may gain up to 3 bonus points for their performance in the Theory of Knowledge course and their Extended Essay.

In order to gain the Diploma a candidate needs to score at least 24 points. However, there are a number of failing conditions which can only be redeemed by scores in excess of 27 points. The Diploma will also be withheld where a student fails to satisfactorily complete the CAS element of the programme.

Of the 48 Diploma candidates, 44 were successful. This is a pass rate of 91.7%. The World pass rate is between 70-75%. 3 candidates were awarded Bilingual Diplomas: 1 German/English, 1 Norwegian/English and 1 Swedish/English. (The lowest score of those who failed the diploma was 22 points)

There were 10 students who had outstanding Diploma scores.
