What if my student is ill or has a family emergency on the day of his IB exams? Is there a make-up date?
No, there is not. The IB exam in a given subject area is given on the same date in every school worldwide where IB is offered. If a student misses the exam, he is considered not to have completed the course. In the case of dire emergency, the IB Coordinator notifies IBO, who will determine whether any special accommodation will be made and of what it will consist. Holidays, family celebrations, and vacations are common situations where U.S. citizens may be used to the school’s making accommodation, but such possibilities do not exist within the IB Diploma Program.
