Provisional data

These data tables are provisional. They are a snapshot of outcomes taken shortly before results are released to
candidates and do not reflect changes due to Enquiry upon Results or IB investigations where schools have not
responded to inquiries by issue of results. A confirmed version of this statistical release will be made available at the end
of October. Whilst provisional, we do not anticipate significant changes to outcomes or entries to occur when the final
bulletin is released.

Context for the May 2023 statistical bulletin

Due to the ongoing disruptions as a result of COVID-19 the IB offered two methods for assessment, examinations and
non-examination. For the non-examination contingency the IB used the available evidence from teachers on the student
achievement; the marked coursework that the student had already completed, the predicted grade from the teacher and
evidence on how these two pieces of data usually related to final grades for each school.

The IB has made every effort to ensure parity between the examination and non-examination contingency and
recommend all stakeholders to treat them as equivalent. All statistics are based on the combined examination and non-
examination contingency.

Number of students achieving 45 points

From the May 2023 Diploma Programme (DP) and Career-related Programme (CP) examination session, the statistical
bulletin will no longer include data on the number of students achieving 45 points. The IB has made this
decision because it values the importance of focusing on the achievements of all students—we are equally proud of
all our IB students and the accomplishments they achieved during their two-year DP or CP journey. By presenting the
proportion of points in bands of 5, we believe that there is sufficient information for interested parties to understand our
standards.
