F* From 2010 onwards 28 points overall will be required to be eligible for the diploma if a student attains an 'E' grade in either the extended essay or theory of knowledge.

 

As previously, a grade 'A' in one of the requirements earns an extra point even if the other is a grade 'E'.

 

Attaining a grade 'E' in both the extended essay and theory of knowledge continues to represent an automatic failure.
