IB Exam in English A: Literature (HL) or English A: Language and Literature (HL)

International Baccalaureate (IB) exams are offered once a year, usually in high schools that offer IB courses. These tests are not administered on the UT Austin campus. For more information, please visit the IB website.

UT Austin students who have received an IB Diploma (as opposed to an IB Certificate) are eligible for twenty-four hours of credit based on qualifying test scores of 4-7 on Higher Level (HL) and Standard Level (SL) exams.

Students who transfer to UT Austin, and those who receive an IB Certificate, should refer to eligible scores for Certificate-level students, as they are eligible for credit based on Higher Level (HL) exams only. Cut scores for HL exams often differ for Diploma and Certificate-level students.
