also be right.

IBO assessment criteria to submit marks
and comments for work done by
candidates in certain subjects. Samples of
the work are sent and IB examiners
moderate the teacher’s assessment.

External Assessments- Examinations and
work assessed by an examiner appointed
by the IBO anywhere in the world. All
written examinations administered in May
are External Assessments. The TOK paper
and the Extended Essay, among others, are
examples of External Assessments.

“In IB I learned to study, to learn, to appreciate
team work, and most importantly to love
knowledge.”
“IB has been, for me, taking the ‘road less
traveled’.”
“Through IB I have gained confidence in myself
and my ability to succeed.”
IB trains the leaders of tomorrow, it motivates,
and it teaches responsibility. It instills passion
for learning, desire to do good, and wisdom to
make sensitive decisions.”
