IB Results 2023: How to access, request a remark and what’s different this year?

IB Results will officially be released on Thursday 6 July at 12:00pm GMT (3:00pm in the UAE).

However, schools will receive results earlier, on Wednesday 5 July, and may, or may not, choose to distribute them to candidates earlier.

How to access your May 2023 examination results – changes to note

This year the way that you access your results online has been updated from previous years.

To be able to access your May 2023 session results, the IBO shares the following steps:

1. Ensure you have received your May 2023 login credentials from your programme coordinator– this includes a personal code and individual PIN. Login credentials for the candidate website are session specific. For example, if you are a retake candidate, your login credentials for the May 2022 session will be different to your May 2023 login credentials.
2. On the landing page of the candidate website, click on ‘Results for May 2023’. From there you will be redirected to the new results platform login page.
3. On the login page, enter your May 2023 candidate website credentials. Beware these are case sensitive; therefore, they need to be entered in the same way they were provided to you.
4. If this is the first time you access the site, you will need to read and accept the terms and conditions by clicking ‘I Accept’ at the bottom of the page.
5. To view your results for this session you can:

• • Click on the ‘View results’ button or;
  • Select the ‘Results’ tab at the top of the screen.

If you were registered for previous sessions and you need to check your previous session results, follow these steps:

1. On the Home screen, click ‘Candidate’ on the blue banner at the top of the screen – this will direct you to the landing page.
2. Click on the ‘Results before May 2023’ button – the previous candidate website login screen will be displayed.
3. From there, enter your login credentials which are specific to the session you need to see your results for, e.g., May 2022. If you don’t remember your login credentials for previous sessions, please ask your programme coordinator.

Will my university receive my results?

If you already asked your Diploma Programme coordinator to submit a request to the IB on your behalf then when results are released, they will be made available to institutes via an IB secure website, or on a paper transcript if the institute does not make use of the IB secure website. Before results are released, students can request to have results sent to six universities. This service is free of charge.

If you want to send transcripts to a University after the results have already been released (after 5 July) then IB graduates can request for their transcripts to be sent to institutions directly by placing a request through rrs.ibo.org. A fee of US$17 will be charged for each additional request that is submitted, regardless of whether any previous requests have been made for that student.

Not happy with your grade? How to request a remark (but beware!)

After the results have been issued, schools can place Enquiry Upon results (EUR) requests on students’ behalf. There are several categories of EURs available, so you should contact their coordinator for more information.

Be aware that if you are requesting an individual remark, it is possible that your results can go down as well as up.

Want to retake an examination? Candidates can retake a subject in any future examination session and at any IB World School offering the Diploma Programme or Career-related Programme.

However, restrictions apply. Contact the IB programme coordinator at the school where you wish to register. An IB World School is under no obligation to accept retake candidates. .

Note that:

• if you retake a subject to improve your results, the highest grade for the subject, or core requirement, will contribute to the award of the IB Diploma
• if you retake a subject that has had a recent curriculum change, you will need to follow the new curriculum. For further information about curriculum changes, contact your IB programme coordinator.

See more information on the IBO website.
