IB Diploma Results in July

Results are out, how did you do?

FAQs

How do I access my results? 

You access your results through IBIS the online platform. The DP coordinator gives you a login to a website in May/June. If you have lost it, you can contact the DPC to get it again. 

I have applied in Sweden. It seems UHR/Antagning can see my results before me, is that really so?!

Yes, that is true for applicants within Sweden. If you have asked the DP Coordinator to release your results to UHR/Antagning then those results will be issued directly to the institution on July 5th, prior to when you yourself can access them. This means you might already start to understand your results even though you can't see them because your status on antagning might change.  

If your status hasn't changed and you still show as "obehörig", you have to wait until you can access your results to seewhat has occurred  in more detail. 

I'm not satisfied with my results, what can I do?

Do you need to remind yourself what you need to have in order to earn the Diploma? If so, you can read the General Regulations, Article 13 for a refresher. 

Do you need to make a complaint?  Here is a copy of our Complaints Procedure.

Retakes: usually you need to wait until the following May to do retakes. You  can take them with us or another school.  The fee is typically 1100 sek per subject and an additional 700 sek administration fee. 

Students complete all papers in the subjects they are registered for. An IA mark will be carried over. Hvitfeldtska's policy is to not allow an IA to be redone. 

Students now have unlimited chance to do retakes. But please note it will vary from school to school if the IA can be re-done.  

Students can withdraw from the retake session up until a certain date in the fall and the session will not be counted. Please ask if you need to know information about refunds.

The deadline to register for RETAKES is Sept 15. After the  deadline, it becomes more expensive to register.

If a student earns a lower grade on the retake, they will be able to keep the higher grade that they earned in an earlier session.

Invoices will be sent to your home address once we receive the invoice from the IB.

By-request service: Enquiry Upon Results: EUR

The IB offers also something called an Enquiry upon results service (EUR).  

Category 1 re-mark, approx.. 1 040 sek: The re-mark of externally assessed material for an individual candidate 

A candidate’s grade may be lowered or raised as a consequence of a category 1 remark. Consequently, coordinators must obtain the written consent of a candidate or the candidate’s legal guardian(s) before   the original grade will not be reinstated.

Not valid for multiple choice in sciences or for which a mark has been carried over from a previous session. 

Not valid if it was “definitely marked” by a principle examiner.  The IB will inform us if this is the case.

Note: “The IB reserves the right not to allow a re-mark in any situation where doing so would undermine the

integrity of the assessment system.”  (150 Diploma Program Assessment Procedures)

C8.3.10 The completion of an enquiry upon results

The IB will always aim to complete an enquiry upon results, regardless of the category, in the shortest time

possible.

The following targets are an indication as to how long each service may take. Note that when a request for a

category 1 report is made on IBIS, the candidate’s externally assessed material for the subject/level

concerned will be sent to the school; the target of 30 days indicated below does not include the time taken

for the return of the candidate’s work.

• Category 1 re-mark: 18 days

Request due by Sept 15. 

Please note that the outcomes of enquiry upon results (EuR) requests are sent to the DP coordinator. Should the notifications be required in the coordinator’s absence, it is the school’s responsibility to make arrangements for these to be sent to a nominee. The IB will not communicate the outcome to anyone other than the DP coordinator. A fee is payable (except when a grade is changed as a consequence of a category 1 re-mark). 

C8.3.11 Returning results documentation

If an enquiry upon results category 1 re-mark  results in one or more changes of grade for a

candidate after the results documentation (IB Diploma, IB Diploma Programme Results, DP Course Results) has been sent to the school, new results documentation will be printed. If a grade is increased or lowered, the coordinator must make every effort to acquire the documentation from the candidate and then send it to the Assessment Division, IB Global Centre, Cardiff, for the attention of the School Assessment Operations team.

With all best wishes and hopes that this has both answered your questions and especially, that you are satisfied with the results of your hard work.
