What time do IB results come out?

• Results are released at 12:00 GMT (5.30 pm IST) as the standard time
• This may vary slightly by region due to staggered releases designed to ensure convenient access hours across different time zones
• The IB organisation coordinates these releases to avoid making results available at inconvenient hours in various locations worldwide

Getting started:

• Your first step should be contacting your programme coordinator to obtain your personal code and PIN
• This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to access your results successfully and understand what they mean for your future academic journey

IB Results Login: Step-by-Step Access Process

To access your results, follow these steps:

1. Contact your programme coordinator to obtain your login credentials, which include a personal code and individual PIN
2. On the login page of the candidate website (https://candidates.ibo.org/) enter your login credentials carefully, as they are case-sensitive
3. If this is your first time accessing the site, you will need to read and accept the terms and conditions by clicking “I Accept” at the bottom of the page
4. To view your results, click either on the “View Results” button or select the Results tab at the top of the screen

Additional login details you should know:

• Your personal code is case-sensitive, while your PIN is not
• If you enter incorrect details three times, access will be blocked for 30 minutes as a security measure
• Ensure you have the correct credentials before attempting to log in
• Make certain you have a stable internet connection before attempting to access your results
• Technical difficulties on results day can be particularly stressful, so testing your connection beforehand is advisable

Understanding the IB Grading Scale 1-7: What Your Results Mean

IB Grading System:

• The IB grading scale 1-7 is used for each subject, with 7 being the highest grade possible
• Your total IB score combines grades from six subjects, plus up to 3 bonus points from Theory of Knowledge (TOK) and your Extended Essay
• The maximum possible score is 45 points

What you'll see in your results:

• Individual subject grades
• Your EE/TOK bonus points
• Your total points are displayed
• The difference between your scores (performance in each subject) and your results (whether you've officially earned the diploma)

Additional information available:

• With your coordinator's approval, you may access detailed information, including scaled total marks, grade boundaries, and the marks needed for a grade increase
• This information proves particularly useful if you're considering requesting a re-mark of any subjects
• You can download or print your results directly from the portal for university applications and personal records

Key Dates and Release Information

Important dates for IB Results 2025:

Key information about release timing:

• The IB organisation implements staggered releases across different time zones to ensure results aren't available at inconvenient hours in various regions
• Schools typically receive results one day before the learners do, allowing coordinators to prepare for any necessary support
• Results remain available even if the release date falls on a weekend or holiday, so you don't need to worry about delays due to the calendar
• Check with your IB coordinator for your exact local release time, as regional variations may apply to your specific location
• The mid-July deadline for re-marking requests provides you with sufficient time to review your results and make informed decisions about whether to pursue any grade reviews

University Applications and Additional Support

Automatic university result transmission:

• The IB automatically sends results directly to the universities you've listed in your candidate portal applications
• This direct transmission system streamlines the university application process significantly
• Ensure all your intended institutions are added to your list before results day, as additional submissions after this date may incur extra fees
• Your school can also request the IBO to send scores directly to universities, typically before results are released to learners

If you encounter difficulties accessing your results:

• Contact your IB coordinator immediately if you've lost your credentials, as the IB organisation cannot provide these details directly due to privacy and security policies
• Your coordinator remains your primary point of contact for any credential-related issues
• For technical difficulties with the portal itself, reach out to your school's IB coordinator, who can liaise with the appropriate technical support channels
• Remember that access to your results remains available indefinitely - there's currently no expiry date for the candidate website

If your results are unexpected:

• You can request re-marking through your school
• Pursue appeal processes
• Register for future examination sessions
• Various educational pathways continue to be accessible regardless of your initial results
