2. Assurance Quality of the 2017 European Baccalaureate session

2.1 The European Baccalaureate Subjects

The European Baccalaureate examinations are elaborated under the responsibility of the secondary
cycle inspectors listed above, assisted by teams of external experts. For the 2017 EB session, 154
experts participated in the elaboration of 149 main examination papers and 160 reserve papers.
Each examination paper was accompanied by suggested answers, assessment criteria, marking
instructions and marking grid.

The Board of Inspectors (Secondary) may decide to submit written European Baccalaureate
examinations to external auditing in order to add a further layer of quality assurance.

The external auditing of the examination papers is performed by independent experts with
experience in the field of assessment. These experts are proposed by the Chairman of the European
Baccalaureate Examining Board.

For the European Baccalaureate session of 2017, the examination papers of Biology, Chemistry,
Mathematics 3P, Mathematics 5P and Physics were audited externally and were found fit for
purpose.
