This study - Academic Performance of International Baccalaureate Students at Cambridge - examined the relationships between students' prior attainment in the IB and results achieved in Cambridge examinations, and showed that strong performance in the International Baccalaureate predicted success at Cambridge. Specifically, it found that two 7s in Higher Level subjects and overall scores of 39 or more for Science courses and of 42 or more for Arts and Social Sciences courses predicted a better-than-average likelihood of obtaining a II.1 or a First at Cambridge.
