Assessment criteria

Learning in each subject area is assessed through four criteria defined by the IB. These four criteria differ in each subject area, as shown below.

The standards of these criteria change as you move through the MYP, from MYP1 to MYP5. Descriptors for the achievement levels of each of these criteria for MYP3 (Y9) and MYP5 (Y10&11) is also shown below.
