The International Baccalaureate (IB) is one of the most demanding and prestigious educational programs in the world. Its rigorous academic approach, global perspective, and combination of internal and external assessments make it a top choice for thousands of students aiming for elite universities. In this context, predicted grades play a fundamental -yet often misunderstood- role.
At TutorASAP, with over 25 years of experience helping IB students maximize their academic potential, we give predicted grades the attention they truly deserve. Through our personalized, group, and online sessions with expert tutors, we guide students across all key areas of the program, including strategies to achieve their best possible predicted grades. These early assessments not only set the tone for the school year but can also be decisive in university admissions processes.
Predicted grades are the marks that IB teachers assign in advance to each student, based on their performance throughout the course. These grades not only reflect a student’s potential, but they also have a direct impact on their academic future, especially during the university application process.
In many cases, universities in the UK, the Netherlands, Canada, and other countries use predicted grades as a key reference when issuing conditional offers. If a student receives high predicted grades, their chances of getting an offer from a prestigious institution increase significantly, even before they sit their final exams. For this reason, strong predicted grades are not just a source of motivation; they can also serve as an early gateway to the student’s desired university.
Additionally, these grades influence the student’s self-confidence, the motivation they bring to the remainder of the course, and the study strategies they apply during the final stretch of the program.
To improve and secure strong predicted grades, at TutorASAP we recommend following a strategy based on several key pillars:
2. Make the most of every Internal Assessment: Internal Assessments, presentations, and practical work play a significant role in how teachers perceive your performance. Excelling in these tasks is essential.
3. Active communication with teachers: Understanding assessment criteria, asking for feedback, and showing genuine interest can positively influence your teachers’ evaluation.
5. Strategic external support: Having additional academic support, like the one we provide at our academy, helps consolidate knowledge, address weaknesses, and prepare key assignments at a high academic level.
6. Emotional management and motivation: Maintaining emotional balance and motivation throughout the IB program helps sustain a strong work rhythm and face academic challenges with confidence.
7. Personalized planning: Every student has a unique profile. At TutorASAP, we design tailored study plans based on each student’s goals, subjects, and learning style to maximize their results.
Predicted Grades in the IB are more than just an estimate; they are a key factor that can directly influence a student’s university future. Approaching them strategically -with the right support and smart planning- can be the difference between an extra opportunity or a missed one. At TutorASAP, we guide our International Baccalaureate students to take control of their results, turn effort into excellence, and transform their goals into reality. Predicted grades don’t have to be a mystery, they can become your strongest introduction.
