應該有不少學生前陣子才剛考完IB吧？先不論結果如何，這都已經是過去式。接下來你應該關心的，是IB考試的結果什麼時候會公佈，以及考試分數代表什麼意思？
IB考試分數何時公佈？
IB考試在每年5月和11月各有一次，如果學生有參加其中一場考試，那麼什麼時候會公告結果呢？
5月考生的出分時間
如果是5月考試的學生，IB成績將會在同年的7月5日公佈，例如2019年5月參加IB考試的學生，在7月5日可以收到分數，不過2020年因為新冠肺炎，IB考試被迫取消。2021年5月的IB考生也是在同年的7月5日可以收到分數。
11月考生的出分時間
如果是11月考試的學生，IB成績將會在隔一年的1月2日公佈，例如2020年11月參加完考試的學生，在2021年1月2日就可以收到分數囉！
IB考試是如何評分的？
IB考試的評分方式與其他學校考試不同，請見以下說明。
IB分數等級：1-7
每個IB考試都會有評分標準，是以1-7分作判斷，1分為最低、7分為最高。每個分數都會有它代表的意義，下面用IB科目Group 1 (language and literature) 當例子，解釋7分到1分個別的意義：
Grade 7: Demonstrates: excellent understanding and appreciation of the interplay between form and content in regard to the question or task; responses that may be convincing, detailed, independent in analysis,
synthesis and evaluation; highly developed levels of expression, both orally and in writing; very good degree of accuracy and clarity; very good awareness of context and appreciation of the effect on the audience/reader; very effective structure with relevant textual detail to support a critical engagement with the thoughts and feelings expressed in the work(s).
Grade 6: Demonstrates: very good understanding and appreciation of the interplay between form and content in regard to the question or task; responses that are, mainly, convincing, as well as detailed and independent to some degree, in analysis, synthesis and evaluation; well-developed levels of expression, both orally and in writing; good degree of accuracy and clarity; good awareness of context and appreciation of the effect on the audience/reader; effective structure with relevant textual detail to support a critical engagement with the thoughts and feelings expressed in the work(s).
Grade 5: Demonstrates: good understanding and appreciation of the interplay between form and content in regard to the question or task; responses that offer generally considered and valid analysis, synthesis and/or evaluation; good levels of expression, both orally and in writing; adequate degree of accuracy and clarity; awareness of context and appreciation of the effect on the audience/reader; clear structure with relevant textual detail to support an engagement with the thoughts and feelings expressed in the work(s).
Grade 4: Demonstrates: adequate knowledge and understanding of the question or task; responses that are generally valid in analysis and/or synthesis; satisfactory powers of expression, both orally and in writing; few lapses in accuracy and clarity; some awareness of context and appreciation of the effect on the audience/reader; a basic structure within which the thoughts and feelings of the work(s) are explored.
Grade 3: Demonstrates: some knowledge and some understanding of the question or task; responses that are only sometimes valid and/or appropriately detailed; some appropriate powers of expression, both orally and in writing; lapses in accuracy and clarity; limited awareness of context and appreciation of the effect on the audience/reader; some evidence of a structure within which the thoughts and feelings of the work(s) are explored.
Grade 2: Demonstrates: superficial knowledge and understanding of the question or task; responses that are of generally limited validity; limited powers of expression, both orally and in writing; significant lapses in accuracy and clarity; little awareness of context and appreciation of the effect on the audience/reader; rudimentary structure within which the thoughts and feelings of the work(s) are explored.
Grade 1: Demonstrates: very rudimentary knowledge and understanding of the question or task; responses that are of very limited validity; very limited powers of expression, both orally and in writing; widespread lapses in accuracy and clarity; no awareness of context and appreciation of the effect on the audience/reader; very rudimentary structure within which the thoughts and feelings of the work(s) are explored.
不同的IB Group有不同的評分標準，這裡就不一一列舉了，如果想知道每個分數等級的意義是什麼，可以參考官網說明。
大學接受哪些IB學分？
每所學校獲得IB課程的學分資格可能會有不同，但是大多數的大學課程都會為你的IB成績提供對應的學分，也就是說如果學生有IB文憑，有些大學甚至可以讓你不需要再修一些通識教育（General Education）課。
如果學生覺得IB考試成績有問題該怎麼辦？
當IB成績發布後，如果學生覺得自己的分數有問題，是可以要求官方重新評分的。如果學生希望重新計算分數，請聯繫IB。
