The International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO) has officially announced that results for the May 2025 session will be released on the following schedule:

• For schools: Results are available from 5 July 2025, 12:00 PM GMT.
• For students: Results can be accessed from 6 July 2025, 12:00 PM GMT.

The best way to stay updated is to check directly with your school’s IB coordinator, who receives the official release confirmation ahead of time.

How to Check Your IB Results Instantly: Step-by-Step Guide

The IB has a secure, well-organized system for publishing scores. Here’s how you can access your results without any delay:

Step 1: Get Your Login Credentials Early

Before results day, your school’s IB Diploma Programme (DP) or Career-related Programme (CP) coordinator will share your login credentials.

You’ll need two things: - Personal Code – case-sensitive and unique to you.
- PIN (Password) – provided by your school coordinator.

Keep these details safe; you’ll need them on the official results day.

Step 2: Visit the Official IB Results Portal

Once the results are live, head to the IB Candidate Results Website typically found at ibo.org. Navigate to the “Getting Results” section, which links directly to the login page.

On the site, enter your personal code and PIN exactly as provided. If you make multiple incorrect attempts, your access may be temporarily locked, so double-check before submitting.

Step 3: View Your Scores

Once you log in successfully, your IB results will appear on your screen. You’ll see: - Each subject and its grade (1 to 7 scale)
- Your Theory of Knowledge (TOK) and Extended Essay (EE) scores
- Your bonus points (up to 3)
- Your total out of 45 points

Remember, IB grades are designed to assess understanding and application not rote memorization. If you’d like to explore what each subject focuses on, review the IB Syllabus Key Learning Areas Breakdown.

Step 4: Download and Save Your Score Sheet

As soon as you see your results, download and print them. Some universities require a physical or digital copy during application processing.

If your school has registered universities to receive your scores, IB will automatically send your transcript to those institutions.

Step 5: If You Face Login Issues

If you can’t access your results: - Double-check your case-sensitive code and PIN.
- Try again after a few minutes if traffic is high.
- Contact your school coordinator if the problem persists as they can verify your details directly with the IB.

How IB Results Are Calculated

Understanding how your IB score is calculated helps you interpret your results more effectively.

Each student is assessed across six subjects, each graded between 1 (lowest) and 7 (highest). In addition, you can earn up to 3 bonus points based on your combined performance in TOK and EE, bringing the maximum possible score to 45.

To be awarded the IB Diploma, students must: - Score at least 24 points overall,
- Complete all required internal assessments and core components, and
- Avoid failing conditions (for instance, a 1 in an HL subject or two 2s at HL).

Universities worldwide understand these results well and value their consistency. You can read more about how IB grades are interpreted in the IB Curriculum University Preparation Guide.

What the 2025 IB Results Say About Global Performance

Early data from the IBO shows that global averages continue to improve.

• Average Score (2025): 30.58
• Global Pass Rate: 81.26%
• Top Scores (40+ points): 4.7% of all students

This upward trend highlights that schools and students are adapting well to the IB’s rigorous standards and project-based assessments.

Many Indian schools, such as Pathways, Dhirubhai Ambani International, and Oakridge International, have reported average scores higher than the global benchmark. For a closer look at standout Indian institutions, see the IB Schools in India Success Guide.

What to Do Once You Receive Your Results

Once you’ve seen your scores, it’s time to plan your next steps.

1. Save and Secure Your Results
   Download the result slip and store it both digitally and as a printed copy. You’ll need it for university applications and transcript verification.

2. Review Your Performance
   Analyse your strengths and weaknesses. Were your predicted grades accurate? Did you perform better in coursework or final exams? This reflection can help you plan your future studies more effectively.

3. Apply for a Re-evaluation (If Necessary)
   If your results are lower than expected, you can request an Enquiry Upon Results (EUR) through your school coordinator. This process allows examiners to re-mark your papers.
   However, remember that marks can go up or down, and a small fee is applicable.

4. Plan Your Next Academic Step
   Use your IB results to finalize university decisions. Many institutions grant course credits or advanced placement for high IB scores. If you’re applying abroad, coordinate with your school to ensure your transcript is sent directly by IB.

What Students Can Learn from Past Toppers

Each year, high-scoring students share similar habits not of cramming, but of consistent curiosity.

• They start early: Many begin exploring IB-style learning as early as Grade 8 or 9 using resources such as AllRounder.ai’s IB Courses by Grade.
• They use digital tools: Interactive quizzes and simulations on AllRounder.ai Games make revision engaging.
• They take regular mock tests: Practicing with AllRounder.ai Practice Tests helps them master timing and question formats.
• They focus on understanding: The IB rewards conceptual clarity over memorization.

Why Early Preparation Is Key to Strong IB Results

The IB Diploma demands maturity and academic readiness. Students who begin honing critical thinking, research, and writing skills early tend to perform better later.

AllRounder.ai offers structured preparation through grade-wise programs such as: - IB Grade 8 Courses
- IB Grade 9 Courses
- IB Grade 10 Courses
- IB Grade 11 Courses
- IB Grade 12 Courses

These programs reinforce subject foundations while teaching time management and research methodology, two skills that heavily influence final IB results.

Comparing IB with Other Boards: Why It Stands Out

The IB curriculum differs significantly from other popular Indian boards like CBSE and ICSE.

While CBSE Courses on AllRounder.ai focus on structured academic preparation and national exam readiness, and ICSE Courses emphasize strong language and analytical skills, the IB Programme takes a global, inquiry-driven approach.

Students are encouraged to make connections across subjects, apply knowledge to real-world contexts, and develop research capabilities.

The IB Programme Guide for Students: Demands and Rewards explores how this unique approach prepares learners not just for exams, but for success beyond school.
