IB Results Day 2026: Everything you need to know and a free webinar

By Sandra Steiger, Academic Support Manager, TutorsPlus
Results day is undeniably one of the most emotionally charged days of a teen’s life. Months, even years of hard work come down to a single moment on Monday, July 6, 12:00 PM GMT. Whether you're confident about receiving good news or bracing for a surprise, knowing what to do at each stage makes the experience so much easier to navigate. To help students and families prepare, TutorsPlus is hosting a free webinar on 1 July 2026 led by university admissions specialist Dr Daniele Labriola, covering exactly what to do when results arrive, as well as a live Q&A. Here’s a recap of the basics in the meantime.
Accessing Your Results
Log in using your case-sensitive Personal Code and PIN provided by your IB Coordinator. Ensure you locate them a few days in advance. The portal gets extremely busy the moment results drop, so if pages are slow to load, wait a few minutes rather than repeatedly refreshing. Bear in mind that three failed login attempts will lock your account for 30 minutes.
Once inside, your results statement will show subject grades (1–7), TOK and Extended Essay bonus points, your total score out of 45, CAS completion status, and your Diploma award status.
University Offers and UCAS Clearing
The IB sends results electronically to universities and UCAS automatically. You don't need to do this yourself. If you've met your conditions, your place is confirmed through UCAS Hub, with a notification typically following within 24–48 hours.
A narrow miss doesn't automatically close the door. Admissions teams often consider the broader picture including your HL grades, predicted grades, personal statement, and references. In this scenario, contact the admissions office directly and promptly; a calm, proactive conversation can go a long way.
