Exam fees
Families pay their students' IB exam fees during the month of October. There is a per-subject exam fee of about $120.
Most juniors test in one or two subjects in May (they are not permitted to test in more than two). Seniors test in four, five or six subjects during May, depending on how many subjects they completed as juniors.
Earning the IB Diploma
Students earn the IB diploma (in addition to a Littleton High School diploma) by scoring at least 24 of 45 possible points on their assessments.
Each subject is scored out of 7 possible points and a combination of 3 'bonus' points may be earned depending on performance on the Theory of Knowledge (TOK) assessments and Extended Essay (EE). Students who fail (earn a score of E, or elementary) on the Extended Essay cannot receive the IB diploma. Likewise, students who fail to complete their Creativity, Activity and Service (CAS) requirements forfeit the chance of earning their IB diploma.
Exam and diploma results are released by the International Baccalaureate Organization in early July.
IB students who do not complete their CAS volunteer program cannot earn the IB Diploma.
