Improve Your IB Results and Achieve Your Academic Goals

Study Academy Vienna provides comprehensive support for students wishing to retake their International Baccalaureate (IB) examinations in May or November.

Whether students need to improve individual subject grades, increase their overall IB points score, obtain their IB Diploma, or meet university admission requirements, our programme offers professional guidance throughout the retake process.

We combine assistance with examination registration through an authorised IB World School with personalised academic preparation delivered by experienced IB teachers, IB examiners and subject specialists.

Guidance Through the IB Retake Registration Process

Understanding the official IB retake requirements can be challenging, particularly for students who have already completed their Diploma Programme.

Study Academy Vienna helps students navigate the process through the following steps:

1. Initial Consultation: Discuss previous IB examination results, subjects to be retaken, and individual academic goals.
2. Review of IB Results: Identify the subjects and assessment components requiring improvement.
3. IB Coordinator Consultation: Connect with an authorised IB World School to review eligibility and registration requirements.
4. Official Examination Registration: The authorised IB World School completes the registration for the appropriate May or November examination session.
5. Individual Exam Preparation: Begin personalised revision and examination practice with Study Academy Vienna.

Important: Official IB examination registration and examinations are administered by an authorised IB World School, not directly by Study Academy Vienna.

• Identifying knowledge gaps and revising challenging syllabus topics.
• Practising IB past papers and examination-style questions.

Our objective is to help students approach their retake examinations with stronger subject knowledge, improved examination skills and greater confidence.

Internal Assessment (IA), Extended Essay (EE) and Theory of Knowledge (TOK) Support

IB retakes may also involve coursework or core components, depending on the relevant IB regulations.

Study Academy Vienna offers individual academic guidance for:

• Internal Assessments (IA): Research questions, methodology, data analysis, evaluation, and academic presentation.
• Extended Essay (EE): Research planning, essay structure, critical analysis, evaluation and academic writing.
• Theory of Knowledge (TOK): Understanding assessment requirements, developing arguments and strengthening critical thinking.

Eligibility for retaking or resubmitting these components must be confirmed with the IB Coordinator at the authorised IB World School. All academic support respects IB academic integrity requirements.

May and November IB Examination Sessions

Students may register for future May or November IB examination sessions, depending on subject availability and current IB requirements.

The appropriate session is determined in consultation with the IB Coordinator.
