　　不隶属任一国家，又最风行世界的国际教育领跑者—IB项目，正在被越来越多的选择国际学校中国家庭所熟知。不少家长想当然的认为IB项目是素质教育，没考试。很遗憾，IBDP不但要考，而且是全球统考。北半球的IB学子不论哪国人在哪个城市生活都要参加每年5月份的...“大考”。

　　IB学子不是为了逃避高考的竞争，他们只是放弃了和自己同胞竞争，而选择了和全球近150个国家的同龄人竞争。IBDP的大考时间表了解一下，素材源自IB0。

      Principles used in creating the IB Examination Schedule

　　1. It is not possible to take into account public, national or school holidays, or religious festivals because of the number of countries in which the IB Diploma Programme is offered.

　　2. Registration data has been used to ensure that the minimum number of candidates globally are impacted by subject timetable clashes.

　　3. Studies in language and literature and Language acquisition subjects are not scheduled on the same day so a candidate does not have to be examined in two different language subjects on the same day.

　　4. Arabic examinations in either Studies in language and literature or Language acquisition will not be scheduled on a Friday out of respect for candidates of the Islamic faith.

　　5. Almost all subjects are scheduled in an afternoon and morning pattern on consecutive days. This is to minimise the impact of absence on any given day, whilst maintaining continuity for candidates.

　　6. Subjects with the highest candidature are not scheduled consecutively and are spread as evenly as possible over 3 weeks to try and distribute the workload for candidates. Language examinations and science examinations are scheduled on each of the 3 weeks for the same reason.

　　7. Except for English, Spanish and French, Language A examinations are scheduled separately from Language B.

　　8. The examination period remains three weeks long. This is to maintain an acceptable balance between the number of conflicts in the schedule, the school overheads in running an examination schedule, the time available to teach, and the IB’s responsibility to get the marking done on time to the required quality.

　　Rescheduling Policy

　　• Rescheduling of an exam for a candidate requires approval from IB.

　　• The criteria and the process for applying for a reschedule can be found in the Diploma Programme Assessment procedures (formerly Handbook of procedures)
