Assessments and Examinations
At AIS, assessment in IBDP is both internally assessed and externally moderated. All internally assessed components are marked by the teachers but moderated by the IB. This is aimed to maintain objectivity and reliability and viability of the exams. All written examinations are taken at the end of the DP2 for the May – June session and are marked externally.
Pathway to University and Employment
The IBDP is recognized and respected by the world’s leading universities, and evidence suggests that higher rates of DP students go on to university and higher education study than non-IB students. The DP focuses on rigorous academic study, within a broad and balanced curriculum, which can prepare students well for employment.
