Hence children who are more exam-savvy tend to do better in the A-level exams, while the IB exams benefit students who are good at time management, independent learning and research."

In the IBDP, the final exams account for about 70 per cent to 80 per cent of the total marks for each subject, while assignments assessed by teachers and checked by external examiners contribute the rest of the final grade."
