eAssessment resources

In the final year of the programme, all MYP students must develop a personal project independently, which is externally moderated by the IB. Producing a truly personal and creative piece of work over an extended period stands as a summative review of their ability to conduct independent work.

The personal project is the first part of the external assessment (eAssessment) in all other elements of the programme. It allows students to earn a formal, internationally recognised certificate if they meet the success criteria.

In the MYP eAssessment students participate in two types of examinations:

• ePortfolios of coursework.

• On-screen examinations, with each exam lasting between one hour and 45 minutes and two hours.

The graphic below outlines how the two types of assessment – on-screen examinations and ePortfolios – are divided across the MYP's various subject groups. The Language acquisition assessment comprises one on-screen examination and one internally assessed individual speaking assessment.

The personal project and the ePortfolio course works are subject to external moderation of teacher’s internal marking. On-screen examinations are externally marked by trained IB examiners.
