Draft Report on European Baccalaureate 2020
3 The European Baccalaureate 2020

3.1. Calculation of the European Baccalaureate 2020 mark before moderation

As was mentioned in the previous point, the European Baccalaureate had to be adapted this
year due to the COVID-19 linked circumstances according to the derogation of the General
Rules and to the AIREB approved by the Board of Governors.

ARTICLE 6 — DETAILED RULES FOR CALCULATION OF THE EUROPEAN
BACCALAUREATE MARK AND THE ORGANISATION OF EXAMINATIONS

The final overall European Baccalaureate mark is expressed out of one hundred (100) and is
accurate to two decimal places. The following 2 factors are taken into consideration for the
calculation of the European Baccalaureate final mark:

 The average of the class A-marks expressed out of 100 (A1 + A2)
 The average of the B-marks expressed out of 100 (B1 or B1+B2)

The proportion of the final total mark for the examination allotted to the various parts will be
as follows:
 20 percent for the average A-mark (A1 + A2) multiplied by 2
 30 percent for the average B-mark (B1 + B1 replicated as B2) multiplied by 2
Final result = 0.40 A + 0.60 B

The moderation could intervene whenever the difference in the distribution of this final result
in comparison to previous years is statistically relevant.
