Why Students Use an IB Predicted Grade Calculator
Students in the International Baccalaureate programme often manage multiple responsibilities simultaneously — Internal Assessments, Extended Essays, Theory of Knowledge requirements and six subject examinations. Estimating academic performance helps students understand where they currently stand and what improvements are needed before final assessments.
Academic prediction tools help students create more structured study plans and identify subjects that require additional attention. Instead of waiting for final grades, students can monitor progress earlier and make meaningful changes before critical examinations.
How an IB Predicted Grade Calculator Supports Study Planning
A score prediction system helps IB learners identify stronger and weaker subject areas clearly. Students can use estimated scores to adjust revision strategies and allocate additional study time where it is most needed for improving their final IB Diploma result.
Students preparing for Mathematics, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Economics and English frequently use performance tracking to improve consistency throughout the academic year and maximise their predicted grades.
IB Score Bands Explained
The IB Diploma is awarded to students scoring 24 points or above (out of 45) with no grade below 2 in any subject. A score of 38–45 is considered excellent, 30–37 is very good, and 24–29 is a pass. Universities often set conditional offers based on predicted IB scores, making accurate prediction vital for applications.
Performance Visibility
Identify academic strengths and areas for improvement before it's too late to act.
Goal Management
Set measurable academic objectives tied to real predicted score data, not guesswork.
Better Revision Strategy
Allocate study hours efficiently across six subjects based on actual predicted performance gaps.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about IB predicted grades and how our calculator works.
An IB predicted score is an estimate of the grade a student is expected to achieve in the IB Diploma, based on their current academic performance in Internal Assessments, class tests, mock exams and coursework. Teachers formally submit predicted grades to universities during the application process. Our calculator helps students self-estimate their predicted score before official predictions are issued.
Predicted grades provide an estimate of expected performance but actual examination results can differ. This calculator gives students a useful benchmark based on current subject scores. Final IB Diploma results depend on examination performance, Internal Assessments, the Extended Essay, and Theory of Knowledge, all of which may vary from predictions.
Yes. Regularly tracking your predicted IB score helps you identify weaker subjects early and adjust your revision strategy accordingly. Students who monitor predicted performance throughout the year are better positioned to allocate study time efficiently and make meaningful improvements before critical assessments.
The IB Diploma total is calculated by adding the grades from six subjects (each scored 1–7, giving a maximum of 42 points) plus up to 3 bonus points from Theory of Knowledge (TOK) and the Extended Essay (EE). The maximum possible IB Diploma score is 45 points. The minimum passing score is 24 points, with no individual subject grade below 2.
Requirements vary by institution. Many leading UK universities (including Oxford and Cambridge) typically expect 38–45 IB points. Top US universities often look for 38 or above. Most competitive universities globally set entry requirements between 32 and 40 IB points. Always check each institution's specific IB requirements as these vary by programme and faculty.
This calculator computes your subject total out of 42. To get your full predicted IB Diploma score (out of 45), add up to 3 bonus points from your TOK and Extended Essay grades. Use the grade matrix: TOK grade A + EE grade A = 3 bonus points; A + B or B + A = 2 bonus points; and so on.
