A 33 score is also typically required for admission to top universities around the world. In the United States, for example, a score of 33 is typically required for admission to Ivy League universities and other highly selective institutions.
In the United Kingdom, a score of 33 is typically required for admission to Oxbridge universities and other Russell Group universities.
And in Canada, a score of 33 is typically required for admission to the University of Toronto, McGill University, and other top universities.
Of course, a score of 33 is not the only factor that universities consider when making admissions decisions. They also look at other factors such as grades in individual subjects, extracurricular activities, and personal statements.
But a 33 score is a strong indicator that a student has the academic skills and knowledge necessary to succeed at a top university.
Here is a breakdown of the IB score distribution:
* 7 points: Highest possible score for each subject
* 6 points: Second-highest possible score
* 5 points: Third-highest possible score
* 4 points: Fourth-highest possible score
* 3 points: Fifth-highest possible score
* 2 points: Sixth-highest possible score
* 1 point: Seventh-highest possible score
* 0 points: Lowest possible score
A student's overall IBDP score is calculated by adding up the points they earn in each of their six subjects. The highest possible score is 45 points.
A score of 33 is equivalent to earning a 5 in three subjects and a 4 in three subjects.
Students who score 33 in the IBDP are typically very well-prepared for university and have a bright future ahead of them.
