Shortlist Pathways by October
Students should have a shortlist of possible DP or CP pathways by October, understanding how eAssessment readiness aligns with future subject choices.
IB MYP eAssessment is the formal assessment model for students in the final year of the Middle Years Programme. It combines on-screen examinations and ePortfolio submissions to measure how well students can apply, analyse and evaluate their learning. IB Tutoring Academy supports MYP5 students through each stage, from Personal Project development to DP/CP subject planning.
IB MYP eAssessment is the external assessment framework for MYP5 students. It consists of two main components: on-screen examinations and ePortfolio submissions. These components replace traditional written exams in many subjects and are designed to assess conceptual understanding and skills rather than simple recall.
The on-screen examinations are taken digitally and cover subjects such as Language and Literature, Language Acquisition, Individuals and Societies, Sciences, Mathematics and Interdisciplinary Learning. The ePortfolio component includes coursework from Arts, Design, Physical and Health Education, and the Personal Project, which is a mandatory requirement for all MYP5 students.
Move from content reproduction to application, analysis and evaluation as required by on-screen examinations.
Become more independent with Personal Project work and MYP revision, using achievement-level feedback to identify recurring weaknesses.
Manage overlapping deadlines across Personal Project, summatives, ePortfolio and exam preparation.
Revisit earlier units systematically in November to build depth and address gaps before on-screen exams.

The initial consultation covers the student's specific eAssessment requirements, Personal Project progress, DP/CP pathway considerations and a plan for the coming months. Tutors then match support to the student's needs, whether that focuses on on-screen exam skills, ePortfolio development, subject planning or managing the overall workload.
On-screen examinations are digital tests taken under timed conditions for subjects like Language and Literature, Sciences and Mathematics. ePortfolio is a collection of coursework submitted electronically for subjects like Arts, Design, PHE and the Personal Project.
Structured preparation often begins in October with Personal Project development and continues in November with ePortfolio drafting and on-screen exam practice, depending on the school's timeline.
Yes, the Personal Project is a mandatory ePortfolio component for all MYP5 students. The Product or Outcome and the Report are submitted for external moderation.
eAssessment readiness is reviewed alongside DP/CP planning. Students confirm subject choices in November, considering HL/SL differences, workload and school prerequisites.
