Provisional dataThese data tables are provisional. They are a snapshot of outcomes taken shortly before results are released to candidates and do not reflect changes due to Enquiry upon Results or IB investigations where schools have not responded to inquiries by issue of results. A confirmed version of this statistical release will be made available at the end of September. Whilst provisional, we do not anticipate significant changes to outcomes or entries to occur when the final bulletin is released.

If you have feedback on this statistical bulletin please email [email protected].

Provisional statistical bulletin Page 1

Context for the May 2021 Statistical BulletinDue to the ongoing disruptions as a result of COVID-19 the IB offered two routes for assessment, examinations and a non-examination route. For the non-examination route the IB used the available evidence from teachers on the student achievement; the marked coursework that the student had already completed, the predicted grade from the teacher and evidence on how these two pieces of data usually related to final grades for each school.

The IB has made every effort to ensure parity between the examination and non-examination route and recommend all stakeholders to treat them as equivalent. All statistics are based on the combined examination and non- examination route.
