Lots of students struggle to decode their IB Computer Science Internal Assessment grade and assessment.
This is a free grading tool that breaks down the IB Computer Science IA rubric into plain English, so you understand exactly where your programming project stands across all five assessment criteria.
The embedded grader makes self-evaluation faster and more accurate than manual rubric checking, so you're never left guessing.

The IB Computer Science Internal Assessment (IA) is assessed using five criteria, totaling .

Mark Band	What it Means	Evidence You Must Show
5-6	Comprehensive problem identification and planning	Detailed problem description, client identification, and clear success criteria
3-4	Adequate problem identification and planning	General problem description with some success criteria
1-2	Limited problem identification and planning	Vague problem description and unclear success criteria
0	No relevant planning	No evidence of problem identification or planning

Mark Band	What it Means	Evidence You Must Show
5-6	Detailed records and comprehensive design	Complete Record of Tasks and thorough design documentation with diagrams
3-4	Adequate records and design	Partial Record of Tasks and basic design documentation
1-2	Limited records and design	Incomplete Record of Tasks and minimal design documentation
0	No relevant records or design	No evidence of Record of Tasks or design documentation

Mark Band	What it Means	Evidence You Must Show
10-12	Highly complex and technically sound solution	Advanced coding techniques, appropriate use of tools, and clear explanations
7-9	Moderately complex and technically sound solution	Intermediate coding techniques and use of tools with explanations
4-6	Basic solution with limited complexity	Simple coding techniques and minimal use of tools
1-3	Minimal development with little technical merit	Very basic coding with little to no use of tools
0	No development	No evidence of a developed solution

Mark Band	What it Means	Evidence You Must Show
4	Fully functional product meeting all criteria	Clear video demonstration of all features and performance
3	Mostly functional product meeting most criteria	Video showing most features and performance
2	Partially functional product meeting some criteria	Video showing some features and performance
1	Minimally functional product	Video showing limited features and performance
0	Non-functional product	No video or evidence of functionality

Mark Band	What it Means	Evidence You Must Show
5-6	Comprehensive evaluation with client feedback	Detailed assessment against success criteria and documented client feedback
3-4	Adequate evaluation with some client feedback	General assessment against success criteria and some client feedback
1-2	Limited evaluation with minimal client feedback	Basic assessment against success criteria and little client feedback
0	No evaluation	No evidence of evaluation or client feedback
