International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme Examinations run from 26 October to 13 November. Australasian students will sit for these examinations across Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Fiji. These examinations will take place around the world, but with the varying impact of COVID-19 in some countries, some schools in other parts of the world will not be able to have students sit for paper exams. For those students unable to sit their written examinations the IB will be awarding results based on Internal Assessments and Predicted Grades. A detailed explanation of how this process is to be managed may be found here.
Schools have provided candidates with personalised timetables. The IB Diploma general timetable for the November session examinations may be found here.

In Victoria there are 826 candidates, 753 in Queensland, 678 in NSW, 400 in South Australia, 177 in the ACT, 73 in Western Australia and 85 in Tasmania. Additional students sit for these examinations in PNG and Fiji. Results will be released on 3 January 2021.
