Your folder feels heavy for a reason.
In IB Group 6 Arts, you’re not just “doing homework”; you’re building evidence: rehearsal clips, sketches, drafts, reflections, and decisions you can defend. So it’s natural to wonder: Will my IB Group 6 Arts coursework be sent to the IB?
The honest answer is comforting and slightly annoying: some parts are sent directly, and some parts are marked by your teacher and then moderated through sampling. That distinction matters, because it changes how you should prepare your work, your files, and your sanity.
The big picture: how IB Group 6 Arts work gets assessed
In IB Group 6 Arts, assessment usually falls into two lanes:
-
Internal assessment (teacher marked): Your teacher awards marks using IB criteria.
-
External moderation (IB checks a sample): The IB requests a sample from your school to confirm the marking standard.
-
External assessment (IB marked): Some components are submitted to the IB for direct grading.
If you want a deeper explanation of how moderation works across IB subjects, this guide helps you understand the logic (and why “externally moderated” doesn’t mean “everything is read”): Are IAs Externally Moderated? What IB Students Must Know.
So, will my IB Group 6 Arts coursework be sent to the IB?
Yes, but not always in full, and not always for the same reason.
In practice:
-
Teacher-assessed components are usually uploaded by the school, and the IB may moderate a sample.
-
Externally assessed components are uploaded for the IB to grade directly.
This is why two students in the same IB Group 6 Arts class can have different experiences: one might hear “the IB will see it,” while another is told “only your teacher marks it.” Both can be true depending on the component.

A quick checklist before you submit anything
Use this to reduce “upload panic” in IB Group 6 Arts:
-
Confirm which components are external vs internal (ask your teacher, not a group chat).
-
Check file requirements: naming, format, length, resolution, and export settings.
-
Keep citations consistent (images, music, scripts, sources).
-
Export a “final-final” version, then a backup.
-
Write reflections like someone else will read them, because they might.

Bringing it home: treat submission like part of the art
The question “Will my coursework be sent?” is really a question about control.
In IB Group 6 Arts, you can’t control whether your work is sampled for moderation. You can control whether your intentions are visible, your evidence is organized, and your files are submission-ready.
If you want a calmer path to that finish line, build your routine with RevisionDojo: use the Coursework Library to see what quality looks like, the Grading tools to check alignment, AI Chat to unblock decisions, and Mock Exams plus Predicted Papers to keep exams from sneaking up while you’re still exporting “final_v17.”
Keep your work honest. Keep it clear. And assume the audience is real, because in IB Group 6 Arts, sometimes it is.
