Overview
The Internal Assessment component (IA) accounts for 30% of the Standard Level grade and 20% of the Higher Level Grade.
The IA consists out of 5 parts and can be no longer than 2000 words (excluding any appendixes & footnotes/bibliographies). The video can be no longer than 7 minutes.

Criterion A – Planning – 6 marks
Criterion B – Record of Tasks (RoT) and Design – 6 marks
Criterion C – Development – 12 marks
Criterion D – Functionality (Video) – 4 marks
Criterion E – Evaluation – 6 marks

There will be guidance on how exactly grades will be calculated soon, but in the mean time (and for illustrative purposes only) the grade boundaries, which are adjusted year on year in any case, are roughly as follows:
