Key Takeaways

✓ MYP is 5 years of continuous assessment (NOT exams) with subject-wise eAssessment in Year 10 only
Continuous formative throughout Years 6-10. Summative term assessments (Nov, Feb, Jun each year across 13 subjects). eAssessment only = May 5-31, 2031, staggered by subject. No high-stakes exam pressure but consistent evaluation throughout.
✓ Personal Project (Year 8-9) is interdisciplinary inquiry worth 30-40% of MYP completion score
200-400 hours. Topic chosen Jan 2029 (Year 8). Execution Sep 2029-Mar 2030 (Year 9). Final submission March 2030. Assessed on research, development, outcome. Quality critical to completion score (0-224).
✓ MYP completion scores (0-224) = eAssessment (May 2031) + Internal (5 years) + Personal Project
eAssessment May 5-31, 2031 (all 13 subjects). Internal = cumulative Years 6-10 (term tests, projects). Strong score (160+) = DP confidence. Weak score = potential DP restrictions. Results Jun-Jul 2031 guide Sep 2031 DP subject selection.
✓ 13 subjects must be studied Years 6-10 (mandatory, all assessed May 2031 eAssessment)
English, Spanish B, History, Geography, Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Arts, Music, Design & Tech, PE, Economics & Business. All continuous Years 6-9. Year 10 eAssessment covers all 13 (May 5-30, 2031 subject-wise dates). Weak areas = early tutoring essential
✓ Strong Year 6-8 foundation predicts Year 10 eAssessment success (May 2031) and DP readiness
Years 6-8 = foundation years. Gaps compound over 5 years. Early tutoring (Sep 2026) prevents eAssessment struggles (May 2031) and weak completion scores. Investment now = DP confidence later (Sep 2031 DP start).

Frequently asked questions

What is continuous assessment in MYP vs traditional exams?

MYP combines weekly formative work with summative term assessments across all 13 subjects. The only external assessment is eAssessment, taken once in Year 10 (May 2031).

What is the Personal Project and when does it happen?

The Personal Project is a 200-400 hour independent inquiry, with the topic chosen in Year 8 and final submission in March 2030 (Year 9). It counts 30-40% of the MYP completion score.

When is eAssessment and what does it cover?

eAssessment runs May 5-30, 2031 in Year 10, staggered by subject across all 13 subjects. It's the only external assessment in MYP, covering five years of learning.

How are grades recorded in MYP?

Grades run on a 1-8 scale per subject per term, recorded each November, February and June. Strong early performance in Years 6-8 builds momentum for the eAssessment year.

How do MYP scores (Jun-Jul 2031) affect DP subject selection (Sep 2031)?

Completion scores (0-224, released Jun-Jul 2031) determine DP readiness — a strong score (160+) keeps all DP subject options open. Weak Year 10 results can restrict HL choices.

 How can tutoring help throughout MYP (Years 6-10, Sep 2026-May 2031)?

Support builds from subject foundations in Years 6-7, through Personal Project guidance in Years 8-9, to eAssessment revision in Year 10. Consistent tutoring across all five years supports a strong completion score.
