PREDICT YOUR SCORE
Build your IB combination.
See your total instantly.
Pick six subjects, set HL or SL, choose a grade for each, then add your TOK and EE letter grades. The tool returns your subject points, your bonus points, and your full IBDP total — out of 45.
The bonus points table follows the current IBO TOK/EE matrix. An E in either TOK or EE is an automatic fail of the Diploma.
HOW IT ADDS UP
Two scores stacked
into one Diploma total.
The IBDP is not a GPA. Your final mark out of 45 is made of two separate pieces — and most students lose easy points because they treat the second piece as an afterthought.
Your six subjects — 42 points
Each of your six subjects is graded 1 to 7, whether you take it at Higher Level or Standard Level. Six 7s give you the full 42.
TOK + Extended Essay — 3 bonus points
Your TOK letter grade and your Extended Essay letter grade are read together against the IBO matrix. A strong combination unlocks up to 3 extra points — and a single E means failing condition.
THE BONUS MATRIX
The 3 points
most students leave on the table.
Two letter grades. Up to three points. One failing condition. Here is exactly how the IBO maps TOK and EE to bonus points.

A C in both TOK and EE earns just 1 point. Two Bs already unlock 2. We push every student we tutor toward A/B in the core so the Diploma total stays safe even if a subject grade slips.
USING THIS TOOL
Three inputs.
One honest prediction.
01
Pick your six subjects
Choose one subject per IB group — Languages, Individuals & Societies, Sciences, Mathematics, and the Arts (or a second subject from groups 2–4). You need exactly six.
02
Set HL or SL and choose a grade
For each subject, toggle Higher Level or Standard Level and select the grade you expect, from 1 to 7. Be honest — use your last predicted grades or your mock results.
03
Add TOK and Extended Essay
Pick a letter grade for both. The matrix on the right does the rest, returning your bonus points and your full IBDP total out of 45.
WHAT TO DO NEXT
Your number is a starting point —
not a verdict.
A predicted IB score tells you where you are today. These are the three moves that close the gap between today's prediction and the score you actually want on results day.
One HL grade > two SL grades
Moving a single Higher Level subject from a 5 to a 6 adds the same point as moving two SL subjects up — for half the work. Audit your HL papers, fix the lowest one, and the total moves fast.
Treat TOK and EE like a seventh subject
A B in both core components secures 2 bonus points before exams even start. Most predicted-37 students who hit 40 in May do it by lifting the core, not by adding a 7.
IAs decide the grade boundary you sit on
Internal Assessments are 20–30% of every subject. A rubric-aligned IA can shift you a full grade band before you ever sit a final paper — which is why we rewrite IAs end-to-end with every student we tutor.

WHO BUILT THIS TOOL
Built by a working
IB Math tutor.
This calculator was built by the Educifly team and reviewed by Richa Jain, founder of Educifly and a full-time IB Math tutor with 14+ years inside the Diploma Programme.
We use the same tool with our own students every cycle — to plan HL/SL mixes in DP1, to model worst-case May scores in DP2, and to spot the one subject where five focused sessions will move the Diploma total the most.
QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
About the IB
score calculator.
How is the IB 45-point total actually calculated?
Your six subjects each give a grade from 1 to 7, for a maximum of 42 points. Theory of Knowledge and the Extended Essay are then read together against the IBO bonus matrix, which awards up to 3 extra points. 42 plus 3 equals the 45-point maximum.
What is the failing condition for TOK and EE?
An E grade in either Theory of Knowledge or the Extended Essay triggers an automatic failing condition for the Diploma — no matter how strong your subject grades are.
Is HL worth more than SL in the IB score?
No. Both HL and SL subjects are graded 1 to 7 and contribute equally to the 42-point subject total. HL courses are deeper and more demanding, so universities weigh them differently in admissions, but in the IB score itself an HL 6 is worth the same as an SL 6.
How accurate is this predicted IB score?
As accurate as the grades you enter. The tool uses the official IBO subject-points logic and the latest TOK/EE bonus matrix, so the math is exact. The prediction is only as honest as the grades you plug in — use your most recent mocks or predicted grades for the truest picture.
Can I use this calculator for IB Career Programme (CP) or MYP?
This tool is built specifically for the IB Diploma Programme (IBDP), which uses the 42 + 3 = 45 model. The IB Career Programme and the IB MYP are graded on different frameworks and are not covered here.
What's a "good" IB score for top universities?
As a working rule: 36+ keeps most UK and European universities open, 38+ is competitive for Oxbridge, LSE and IC, and 40+ with strong HL grades is the band most Ivy League and US-top-20 admits sit in. Course-specific HL requirements often matter more than the headline total.
Will my predicted IB score change between DP1 and DP2?
Almost always, yes. Mock grades, IA marks and the final TOK/EE submissions all move the prediction. Re-run the calculator every term and after every mock cycle — that's how our DP2 students plan which subject to push next.
