Separate requirements
The Personal Project is a separate MYP requirement, not part of eAssessment, but both run concurrently in MYP5.
MYP eAssessment is the external assessment model for the final year of the Middle Years Programme. It combines ePortfolio coursework with on-screen examinations to award the MYP certificate. This page explains the structure, the MYP5 timeline, and how IB Tutoring Academy supports students through each component.
MYP eAssessment is the IB's external assessment model for MYP5 students. It leads to the MYP certificate and provides internationally recognised results.
The model has two main components: ePortfolio coursework submitted for external moderation, and on-screen examinations taken under timed conditions.
Schools choose whether to participate. Where they do, eAssessment replaces school-based final exams for the certificate.
The ePortfolio collects coursework from selected subjects for external moderation. It includes work from language acquisition.
Arts, design, and physical and health education are also assessed through the ePortfolio.
Interdisciplinary learning is assessed through the ePortfolio, requiring students to connect knowledge across subjects.
Students compile evidence of their learning process, not only final products, to demonstrate criteria achievement.
All ePortfolio components are externally moderated by IB examiners.
The Personal Project is a separate MYP requirement, not part of eAssessment, but both run concurrently in MYP5.
Students may feel caught between Personal Project expectations and normal MYP5 workload, especially when eAssessment preparation adds further demands.
Managing both requires clear planning, supervisor feedback loops, and protected time for each component.
eAssessment has its own deadlines separate from the Personal Project timeline.
The overlap of Personal Project and eAssessment preparation creates significant time pressure for MYP5 students.
Tutors help students develop ePortfolio submissions by refining success criteria, documenting choices, and responding to feedback.
For on-screen examinations, tutoring focuses on cumulative revision strategies, practising digital exam tools, and building analysis and evaluation skills.
Support includes structured cumulative revision aligned with the MYP5 timeline.
Interdisciplinary thinking is supported through structured practice connecting concepts across subjects.
Support aligns with the MYP5 timeline: project development in October, combined review and exam preparation in November.
Families can begin by completing the consultation form on the IB Tutoring Academy website.
The consultation identifies the student's current MYP5 stage, eAssessment subjects, and specific support needs.
A tailored plan is then discussed, matching the academic calendar milestones for October and November.
The Personal Project is a standalone MYP requirement assessed internally and moderated externally. eAssessment is a separate external assessment model comprising ePortfolio and on-screen examinations that leads to the MYP certificate.
ePortfolio covers language acquisition, arts, design, physical and health education, and interdisciplinary learning.
On-screen examinations are offered in mathematics, sciences, individuals and societies, language and literature, and interdisciplinary learning.
Structured preparation for ePortfolio requirements and on-screen examinations often begins in November of MYP5, alongside cumulative revision.
School participation in eAssessment is optional. Where a school participates, it replaces school-based final exams for the MYP certificate.
Tutoring aligns with the MYP5 academic calendar: project development and subject planning in October, combined review and eAssessment preparation in November.
