不隸屬任一國(guó)家，又最風(fēng)行世界的國(guó)際教育領(lǐng)跑者—IB項(xiàng)目，正在被越來(lái)越多的選擇國(guó)際學(xué)校中國(guó)家庭所熟知。不少家長(zhǎng)想當(dāng)然的認(rèn)為IB項(xiàng)目是素質(zhì)教育，沒(méi)考試。很遺憾，IBDP不但要考，而且是全球統(tǒng)考。北半球的IB學(xué)子不論哪國(guó)人在哪個(gè)城市生活都要參加每年5月份的...“大考”。

　　IB學(xué)子不是為了逃避高考的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，他們只是放棄了和自己同胞競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，而選擇了和全球近150個(gè)國(guó)家的同齡人競(jìng)爭(zhēng)。IBDP的大考時(shí)間表了解一下，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)

　　2021 Examination Schedule
