Question 1

How is the IB Diploma scored out of 45?

Accepted Answer

Each of the six subjects is graded 1–7 (42 points maximum), and up to 3 bonus points come from Theory of Knowledge and the Extended Essay — for a maximum diploma score of 45. Examiners award levels on published markbands, not raw percentages.

Question 2

When are the IB DP exams?

Accepted Answer

External exams run in May (Northern hemisphere) or November (Southern hemisphere) at the end of Year 12. Internal assessments and the Extended Essay are submitted across the two-year programme. Use the live IBO timetable to reverse-plan mocks.

Question 3

Where can I find IB practice papers or mock exams?

Accepted Answer

RubricMark offers free AI runs for timed IB practice papers and Paper-style mock exams online — marksheet criterion feedback after you attempt. That differs from AI notes apps or chat that explains once without a sit: retrieve and produce first, then get feedback.

Question 4

Does RubricMark have real IB past papers?

Accepted Answer

No. RubricMark runs original timed Paper-style mocks and returns feedback in the assessment-criteria language of your subject marksheet. Use it for pacing and criterion practice alongside official IBO subject guides.

Question 5

Is RubricMark another IB AI study chatbot?

Accepted Answer

No. Unrestricted AI chat often looks like studying but skips retrieval. RubricMark keeps timed Papers, section drills, and rubric feedback as the core loop — AI marks and diagnoses after you attempt, it does not replace the sit.
