IB Diploma Points Calculator (Max 45) – Know Where You Stand Before Results Day Hits
If you’re an IB Diploma Programme student, you’ve probably had this nightmare:
You’re staring at your predicted grades, wondering:
“Will I hit 24? Could I get 38? What’s my total? What’s even possible?”
Let’s face it — IB grading is intense, and calculating your total out of 45 points can feel like doing TOK on no sleep.
So we made it easy. The IB Diploma Points Calculator helps you instantly calculate your total IB score out of 45, based on your subject grades and core components (EE + TOK).
It’s fast, accurate, and takes the mental math out of your meltdown.
🧠 How IB Diploma Scoring Works (In Plain English)
Your IB score is a combo of:
🎯 6 Subject Scores
You take 6 subjects (3 HL + 3 SL, usually). Each is graded 1 to 7.
So max points from subjects = 6 × 7 = 42
🧩 Core Points (TOK + EE)
You also complete:
Theory of Knowledge (TOK)
Extended Essay (EE)
Your combined performance in these two earns up to 3 bonus points.
Total possible diploma score = 42 + 3 = 45 points
🔄 So… What’s the IB Diploma Calculator?
It’s your personal assistant for:
✅ Adding up your 6 subject grades
✅ Selecting your TOK and EE performance levels
✅ Automatically applying the official IB core points matrix
✅ Giving you your final score out of 45
Whether you’re trying to pass (24 points minimum) or aiming for that dream 40+, this tool shows you where you stand — instantly.
💥 Real Story: How This Helped Me Stop Guessing
During IB finals, I was tracking my mock scores, trying to estimate my outcome.
I used the calculator. It told me:
Subject Total: 36
Core Points: 2
Projected Total: 38/45
Boom. That score gave me confidence. I used it in my university portals. And when final grades came back?
It was exactly what I predicted.
No guessing. No panicking. Just clarity.
