Prior research on the relationship between International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IBDP) scores and the university entrance exam scores is limited and varied to a great extent due to the conflicting results in the literature. This study investigates whether there is any relationship between the students’ achievement performance in IBDP and university entrance exam performance. The study revealed that there is no statistically significant correlation between IBDP scores and university entrance exam rank orders. Furthermore, the study showed that the IBDP scores cannot be taken into account as a strong predictor for university entrance exam performance.

This study aims to explain the relationship between student performance in the International General Certificate Secondary Education (IGCSE) and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IBDP) as well as explore the predictors of the IBDP scores in languages, sciences, and mathematics. A purposive sample of 338 high school students was drawn from a private school implementing international programs in Turkey. The data consisted of external examination scores of students enrolled between the years 2010 and 2019. Data were analyzed for correlation and with a multiple regression approach. Strong, moderate, or weak relationships were found between the IBDP exam scores and the IGCSE exam scores with regard to the different subjects. From 4% to 65% of the variation in different IBDP subject scores can be explained by the simple linear regression model in different IGCSE subject scores. These findings will help international educators to make informed decisions about teaching and learning pedagogy in the international programs.

This quantitative study was conducted at a private international high school.  The study purpose was to investigate United States college trends comparing International Baccalaureate Diploma Program candidates and International Baccalaureate Non-Diploma Program candidates from the same school in Asia.  Data was collected for the Classes of 2007-2012 and the two groups were compared based on the number of college acceptances and the eventual collegiate success of the two groups once they matriculated to college, as measured by college persistence and graduation rates. The information analyzed provides data to explore the final educational outcomes for IB graduates and determine if there is a significant difference in the college success of the two groups.
