Draft Report on European Baccalaureate 2019
4. Assurance Quality of the 2019 European Baccalaureate session

4.1. The European Baccalaureate Subjects

The European Baccalaureate examinations are elaborated under the responsibility of the secondary
cycle inspectors listed below, assisted by teams of external experts. For the 2019 EB session, 158
experts participated in the elaboration of 300 examination papers (148 main papers and 152 reserve
papers). Each examination paper was accompanied by suggested answers, assessment criteria,
marking instructions and marking grid.

The Board of Inspectors (Secondary) may decide to submit written European Baccalaureate
examinations to external auditing in order to add a further layer of quality assurance.

The external auditing of the examination papers is performed by independent experts with
experience in the field of assessment. These experts are proposed by the Chairman of the European
Baccalaureate Examining Board.

For the European Baccalaureate session of 2019, the examination papers of Biology, Chemistry,
Mathematics 3P, Mathematics 5P, Physics and History were audited externally and were found fit
for purpose.

4.2. Quality control of the European Baccalaureate examinations proceedings

Quality control of the written and oral examinations in the 23 participating schools was carried out

examination centers for up to 2 days during the written examinations and for a maximum of 4 days
per center throughout the oral examinations’ period. This year the supervision of the examination
