How do I access my IB results 2026

Accessing the IB Candidate Results Portal is generally a simple process, but taking a few steps to prepare in advance can help minimise stress and avoid potential technical issues when results are released.

How to Access the IB Candidate Results Portal

On results day, the last thing you want is to be searching for login details or struggling to access your account. Spending a few minutes preparing ahead of time can help you avoid unnecessary frustration and focus on what matters most.

To access your results including IB retakes, you will need to log in to the official IB Candidate Results Portal using the following information provided by your IB Coordinator:

• Personal Code
• PIN

As both credentials are case-sensitive, it is worth checking that you have the correct details on hand a few days before results day.

To help ensure a smooth and stress-free experience, we recommend working through the following checklist two to three days in advance:

• Confirm your login credentials
• Test your internet connection
• Prepare a backup device
• Save important university contact numbers
• Keep your UCAS information nearby

Spending a few minutes preparing your login details and devices in advance can help make IB Results Day a much smoother and less stressful experience.

Step 1: Visit the IB Candidate Results Portal

Visit the official IB Candidate Results Portal when results are released.

Step 2: Enter Your Login Details

Enter your Personal Code and PIN exactly as provided by your school. Be sure to check capital letters and spelling carefully, as both fields are case-sensitive.

Step 3: Accept the Terms and Conditions

Before viewing your results, you will be asked to accept the IB’s terms and conditions.

Step 4: Open the Results Section

Once logged in, select “Results” or “View Results” to access your grades.

Step 5: Review Your Results Carefully

Your results page will show:

• Subject grades (1–7)
• TOK and EE bonus points
• Total score out of 45
• CAS completion status
• Diploma award status

Take a moment to review all of the information carefully. It is also worth remembering that three unsuccessful login attempts will result in a temporary 30-minute lockout, so entering your details accurately is important.

Common Problems on Results Day

Minor technical issues are not uncommon on IB Results Day, particularly during the first few hours when thousands of students around the world are trying to access their results at the same time. If you run into any problems, do not panic. Most issues can be resolved quickly with a little patience.

What if I have forgotten my PIN or Personal Code

Contact your IB Coordinator as soon as possible. They can help retrieve or reset your login details so you can access your results.

What if the website is not loading

Wait 10 to 15 minutes before trying again. The IB Results Portal often experiences heavy traffic immediately after results are released, but performance usually improves once the initial rush subsides.

What if my account is locked

Entering incorrect login details three times will trigger a temporary 30-minute lockout. If this happens, avoid repeated login attempts and simply wait for the lockout period to expire before trying again.

What if I have internet problems

It is worth having a backup plan in place. Keeping a second device available and ensuring you have access to mobile data can help you stay connected if your primary internet connection becomes unstable.

A small amount of preparation can make a big difference, helping you avoid unnecessary stress and ensuring results day gets off to the smoothest possible start.
