St. Clare's is pleased to announce another set of good results in May 2007. Whilst our average score was down a little at 32.49, we felt that it was a good reflection of the year group.
We achieved:
- An 88% overall pass rate and an average points score of 32.49 – this kept us well ahead of the world average points score, which went down this year to 29.57
- 33 students with 35 points or more (considered equivalent to 4.5 grade As at A level) = 39.8%.
- 9 students with 40 points or more = 10.8%.
- 1 student with 45 - the highest possible mark, achieved by only 63 of the 35,000 students who took the Diploma in 2007 (down from 2006, when it was 72 students).
- 1 student with 44 points, achieved by only 139 students this year.
This is the fourth consecutive year in which we have had 44 and 45 point students, an outstanding achievement in the fiercely competitive IB environment.
