Qijia obtains perfect score in exam

FIVE students from The International School of Kuala Lumpur (ISKL) have achieved outstanding academic results, placing them in the top 1% of all International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme (DP) candidates worldwide.

Qijia Wei achieved the perfect score of 45 points while Myeong Jin Choi, Maya Gan, Kris Jeong and In Hwan Um scored 44 points for the diploma programme.

ISKL’s IB Diploma students who scored 40+ points have also increased over the past two years, from 20% in 2017 to 29% in 2018, placing them among the top 10% of candidates worldwide.

It was the largest cohort at ISKL this year with 102 students earning their IB Diploma with the average score of 36.4 points, surpassing the 2018 worldwide average of 29.8.

Twenty percent of the students who undertook the programme earned a Bilingual Diploma. This is a remarkable achievement for any international school that has been authorised to offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme.

“We are extremely proud of our students and faculty for their dedicationc in achieving such great results,” said the school in a statement.

Continuing ISKL’s tradition of academic excellence, the students taking the Advanced Placement (AP) courses received a remarkable achievement. The average ISKL subject score for students taking an ISKL AP class is 4.0 out of a possible 5.0. 73 percent of the 75 ISKL students in AP classes who took the exam scored 4.0 and 5.0. This means students are very well qualified or extremely well qualified respectively according to the AP standards.
