Haha well the school i go to is fairly new to the IB program. Last year we had our first class that graduated with IB, the people who graduated with the diploma i think they got something like 28-33... so thirty is pretty good id say No. Its not. IB score 30 is NOT equivalent to 3As in A Levels, it more like BCC My school is new to the IB program too, and I dont know of anyone with a score of 30. Our overall predicted grades are like 35-42, so no, 30 is not 'very good'. The average IB score is 30 - equivalent to 419 UCAS points, which is same UCAS points as three A-levels at 'A' grade and one AS-level at 'A' grade. 30 might be the average score, but IB students can score as high as 45 points - equivalent to six grade 'A's at A-level.

sure. if youre planning on going to a state school
An IB score is the score you get after you have taken your IB (International Baccalaureate) exam. It's similar to the American AP or British A levels. You can either take diploma or certificate, and it's a two year course. If you take the diploma programme than the Ib score is out of 45. You will take 6 subjects that are marked out of 7 and the last three points can be awarded with getting a good grade on your TOK presentation and extended essay.
Weird, I just happened to be speaking about this to one of my teachers today. I was worried that my IGCSE score would be bad due to my failure in Chemistry and Physics (subjects which are mandatory). For next year my IB will start and I will definitely not be doing those two as it will also decrease my IB score and I pretty much suck at them. Is your situation similar? When I told my teacher about this they said that usually Universities will look at both your IB and IGCSE score when going into Universities but will look more into your IGCSE score. If you were to get a great IB score (e.g. 35) Universities won't pay attention to your IGCSE. So to answer your question and conclude my statement you can get into a top university with IGCSE and great IB. p.s. How bad is bad for your IGCSE and what is your idea for "great" IB score? Hope I could be a help!
IB has a different curriculum to VCE, IB is more known world wide and can get you an easier enter score. Although IB is a bit harder than VCE but in the end, it's all worth it
that's wat I got. Very solid score
The IB Exam Test has a score range of 1-7 points based on the performance in individual subjects. A further 3 points is awarded for TOK, depending on the matrix of performance.
A score of 33 out of 46 would be a percentage score of 71.74% (Rounded up to 2 decimal places).
it means that 33% of the people did not score that.

That is what I am doing because that fits the program at my school. However if your ib classes solely look at ib topics I wouldn't recommend it.
Not with those stats alone, however those are usually a precursor to a good ACT score. A 30 will get you a full tuition scholarship, but beware the cost of living, and other expenses.
