IB Middle Years Programme (MYP)

Middle Years Programme Assessment

The IB MYP course results show each subject examination a student has taken and the grade they achieved in each (1‒7), as well as achievement in the personal project and the Interdisciplinary on-screen examination.

The IB MYP eAssessment

eAssessment offers MYP students a rigorous and standardised assessment to motivate learning. It is perfect for parents and students who would like external verification of student achievement, and provides a global recognition of expertise, hard work and personal achievement. In addition, it helps students understand the demands of the Diploma Programme (DP) and allows them to use their results and grades as feedback on their learning and as guidance for future subject selection in the DP.

Once a school registers for eAssessment in the MYP, the IB will be able to assess students' work in two ways:

• ePortfolios of coursework, including a compulsory ePortfolio for the personal project.
• On-screen examinations, with each exam lasting two hours.

ePortfolios are used to assess the following subject groups, which are internally marked and externally moderated:

• Language Acquisition
• Arts
• Physical and Health Education
• Design
• Personal Project (compulsory)

On-screen examinations are used to assess the following subject groups, which are individually, externally marked:

• Language and Literature
• Individuals and Societies
• Sciences
• Mathematics
• Interdisciplinary Learning

The IB MYP Certificate

The IB MYP certificate and the IB MYP bilingual certificate are available to students who complete the MYP course of study. These represent IB-validated recognition of students' achievements in the MYP and their preparation for future study. Candidates for the internationally-recognised IB MYP certificate must complete eight eAssessments. These are:

• On-screen examinations in:
  • Mathematics
  • Language and Literature
  • Sciences
  • Individuals and Societies
  • Interdisciplinary Learning
• ePortfolios (coursework) in:
  • Language Acquisition
  • Physical and Health Education, Arts, or Design
• The MYP Personal Project

Candidates also must meet school requirements for participation in service as action.

The maximum total score for the IB MYP certificate is 56, with a grade from 1-7 assigned to each required eAssessment. Students must achieve a total of at least 28 points, with a grade of '3' or higher in each eAssessment component, to be eligible to receive the IB MYP certificate.

For students who complete more than one eAssessment for each required or selected subject group, the highest available grade for that requirement contributes to the certificate total.
