Twenty-five schools in Singapore conducted the IB examinations in November 2023.
They include Anglo-Chinese School (ACS) (Independent), St Joseph’s Institution (SJI), Madrasah Aljunied Al-Islamiah, Singapore Sports School and School of the Arts Singapore (Sota). Students in the international school arms of ACS, SJI and Hwa Chong also collected their results.
The Switzerland-based IB organisation, which conducts the exams, said that diploma programme (DP) and career-related-programme students in Singapore received their results on Jan 3. There were 20,385 candidates globally.
Since May 2023, the IB has stopped releasing data on the number of IB students with perfect scores of 45. This is to discourage the use of assessment results for comparisons among students, schools or communities, it said.
Ever since it joined the IB programme in 2005, Singapore has consistently produced at least half of the perfect scorers worldwide.
