Correction, if score 1 point (need min. 2 points) for Language B (SL or HL), or Language ab initio cannot pass / qualify for diploma.

Hi Lindy, as a parent, I will be most happy to have such arrangement.

I tried reading up IB subjects/scoring scheme.


"Group 2: Language acquisition. An additional language, taken at the following levels: Language B (SL or HL), or Language ab initio (SL only)."

"Points are awarded from 1 to 7, with 7 being equal to A*, 6 equal to A, and so on. Up to three additional points are awarded depending on the grades achieved in the extended essay and theory of knowledge, so the maximum possible point total in the IBDP is 45.[45] The global pass rate for the IB diploma is approximately 80%.[46] In order to receive an IB diploma, candidates must receive a minimum of 24 points or an average of four (or C) out of a possible seven points for six subjects"

The above means that Chinese taken as Language B (SL or HL), or Language ab initio will have to contibute to the final scoring. If student score only 1 point for Chinese he will get 36 + 3 = 39 points if he score top grade for all other subjects 5 subjects, extended essay and theory of knowledge?

I am confused.

A full-time nurse sounds expensive in such time of budget limitation. Sounds like there are others out there with more luxury

So quiet here lately.
