The IB Grading System Is Mathematically Rigged — Here's the Proof

The IB gives you 45 possible points. Only 0.32% of students ever score them. In this video, I break down the exact mathematical mechanics behind IB grading — grade boundaries that don't exist when you sit the exam, the moderation system that adjusts your IA based on your school's pattern (not just your work), and why teacher-predicted grades are systematically higher than what students actually score. This isn't opinion. This is data — and it changes how you should prepare. ⏱️ CHAPTERS: 0:00 — The 0.32% problem 0:50 — Grade boundaries don't exist yet when you sit the exam 3:30 — The boundary shift problem (and what it means for you) 6:30 — The moderation problem nobody explains 9:30 — The predicted grade trap 12:00 — The bell curve design choice 14:30 — How to beat the system anyway 17:00 — What to do with all of this 📌 WHAT THIS VIDEO COVERS: — Why IB grade boundaries are set AFTER the exam, not before — How a single boundary shift can move thousands of students across a grade — The moderation system and how your IA mark depends on your whole class — Why predicted grades are almost always higher than final scores — 3 specific strategies to exploit the system in your favour 🔔 Subscribe for weekly IB strategy, exam breakdowns, and the insider information your school isn't giving you. #IB #IBDiploma #IBExams #IBGrading #InternationalBaccalaureate #IBStudy #IBTips #IBMath #IBResults #StudyWithMe #ibdp
