Formal assessment in the Diploma Programme is defined in the IBO document as “all those assessment instruments that are used to contribute to the final qualification”. These instruments include some multiple-choice tests for a few subjects and examination papers for most subjects, taken at the end of the two-year course, as well as a variety of other tasks (essays, research papers, written assignments, oral interviews, scientific and mathematical investigations, fieldwork projects and artistic performances) spread over different subjects and completed by students at various times under various conditions during their course.
