Your IA is the part you can still change
Coursework is often 20 to 25% of a subject grade, and it is the one part you can improve before the exam. Marksy gives your draft a mark for each criterion and shows which sentences are costing you marks.

Estimated IB grade boundaries
The lowest overall percentage that usually gets each grade, for every subject and level. These are the boundaries the calculator uses.
The IB doesn't publish its boundaries. It sets them after each session, and they move a few percent from year to year as papers get easier or harder. We estimated these from the May 2023 to 2026 sessions, using the middle value for each grade.
Your IB coordinator receives the real boundaries for your session and time zone after results day.
